Archetypes

An archetype defines what the compiler generates and the toolchain used to build it. Choosing an archetype means choosing the form of the deployable artifact.

Select it in the manifest's build block:

build {
  archetype = "standalone"
}

The archetype and graph have separate responsibilities. The archetype defines the output form. The graph defines the agent's execution behavior and domain interfaces. The compiler composes their contributions into the generated application.

Where to go next

• build reference: archetype selection and build options.
• Standalone reference: artifact requirements and interfaces.
• The compilation pipeline: how the compiler produces the artifact.
