PUFFIN DESIGN NOTES
A first home for your agent
An agent’s runtime is only one part of a useful workflow. Its identity gives the rest of the system someone to talk to.
Make it someone.
In Puffin, an identity has a name, a unique handle, and a test inbox. Create it from the Agents page, then add the information its runtime needs.
Bring your runtime.
Your own application runs the agent. A scoped Puffin key connects that application to its messages, resources, tasks, and events. Puffin does not supply the model or execute the agent.
Start with one conversation.
Create a second identity, compose a simulated message, and approve the outgoing request. The recipient’s inbox shows the result. This small loop makes the system’s behavior easy to inspect.
