description	Core AgentUse usage guide. Read this before running AgentUse commands. Covers the builtin skill catalog, installed skill inspection, agent discovery, running agents, creating agents, sessions, server usage, schedules, and when to load specialized AgentUse builtin skills.

AgentUse Core

AgentUse runs AI agents from natural-language markdown files. Agents live in .agentuse files and can use tools, skills, subagents, approval gates, stores, sessions, schedules, and the AgentUse HTTP server.

Skill Catalog

Builtin skills carry official instructions matched to the installed CLI version. Installed skills are the project/user skills discovered from .agentuse/skills, ~/.agentuse/skills, .claude/skills, and ~/.claude/skills.

agentuse skills [list]                  # builtin catalog
agentuse skills get <name> [--full]     # builtin skill content
agentuse skills installed [list|get|path] <name>   # project/user skills

Load A Specialized Builtin Skill

• agentuse skills get runner — running, listing, sessions, serve, schedules.
• agentuse skills get creator — authoring, improving, reviewing .agentuse.

Entrypoints

agentuse agents          # what can run in this project
agentuse run <file>      # run an agent (append "text" for one-off instructions)
agentuse sessions        # inspect prior runs
agentuse serve           # daemon for webhooks, approvals, channels, schedules

See the runner skill for the full command set and flags.

Schedules

A schedule: agent only runs while agentuse serve is running for a project watched by the daemon. Before relying on one, confirm the project is registered in ~/.agentuse/config.json and the daemon is up (agentuse serve ps). YAML schedule: is for recurring jobs; schedule one-off runs outside YAML.
