Standalone

The standalone archetype produces an executable binary from a generated Rust project. Select it through the build block.

Artifact

The binary embeds the generated application and prepared tool, skill and other assets.

Output	Description
Generated project	Rust source, package manifest, and toolchain configuration. Available through agentc generate.
Compiled artifact	Executable binary. Its output location is controlled by agentc build.

The generated project includes Cargo.toml, rust-toolchain.toml, build.rs, and a src/ directory. The executable's entry point is src/main.rs. Command dispatch is in src/cli/, and runtime configuration is in src/config/. Additional files come from the selected components and custom blocks.

For deployment instructions, see Deploy a standalone binary.

Build requirements

Building requires Cargo and rustup. The generated project selects Rust 1.99 and edition 2024.

The build reference defines the target operating system and architecture options. Running the artifact through agentc run requires a host-compatible target.

Interfaces

Reference	Describes
Command-line interface	Commands, options, and output of the generated binary.
Runtime configuration	Environment variables, runtime values, and configuration loading.
Extension points	Places custom blocks contribute to generated files.
