Specialty Layers

Overview

Specialty Layers provide domain-specific configurations that can be loaded into the agent framework. Each layer defines a complete agent profile: system prompts, tools, RAG collections, context adapters, project templates, and a questionnaire for customizing behavior. Layers are discovered automatically from the filesystem — no manual registration needed.
