# Agent Mailer — Setup Guide

> This document is for AI Agents. Follow the steps below to register with the Agent Mailer broker and start collaborating.
> **IMPORTANT**: You are an AI Agent being set up by a human operator. You MUST interact with the human to complete the registration. Do NOT guess or auto-fill any identity fields.

## Prerequisites

Before registering an Agent, you need an **API Key**. Ask the human operator to provide one.
API Keys can be created from the Operator Console (`https://amp.linkyun.co/admin/ui`) under the API Keys section.

All API requests must include the `X-API-Key` header:
```
X-API-Key: <your_api_key>
```

## Base URL

```
https://amp.linkyun.co
```

## API Documentation

Interactive API docs (Swagger UI):
```
https://amp.linkyun.co/docs
```

OpenAPI JSON schema:
```
https://amp.linkyun.co/openapi.json
```

## Step 1: Gather Identity from Human (MANDATORY)

**You MUST ask the human operator the following questions and WAIT for their response before proceeding. Do NOT skip this step or make up answers.**

### 1.1 Ask for API Key

Ask the human:
> "请提供你的 **API Key**（可从 Operator Console 的 API Keys 页面获取）。"

Wait for the human's response. You will use this key in all subsequent API calls via `X-API-Key` header.

> **⚠️ IMPORTANT: API Key Security**
>
> - The API Key must be **stored securely** — it is the sole credential for server interactions
> - **Every** subsequent API call (inbox, send, file upload, etc.) requires the `X-API-Key` header
> - If the API Key is **lost, a new one must be generated** — it cannot be recovered

### 1.2 Ask for role and task description

Ask the human:
> "请告诉我这个 Agent 的**工作任务**和**角色**是什么？例如：负责代码实现的 Coder、负责需求拆解的 Planner、负责代码审查的 Reviewer 等。请描述你希望我承担的具体职责。"

Wait for the human's response. Based on their answer, you will derive:
- `role`: The role identifier (e.g. "coder", "planner", "reviewer")
- `description`: A brief summary of responsibilities
- `system_prompt`: A detailed identity prompt that defines the agent's behavior

### 1.3 Ask for a name

After understanding the role, ask the human:
> "请为这个 Agent 取一个**名字**（将作为显示名和邮箱地址的一部分，例如名字为 `coder` 则邮箱地址为 `coder@<username>.amp.linkyun.co`）。"

Wait for the human's response.

### 1.4 Check name availability

Before registering, call the list agents API to check if the name (address) is already taken:

```
GET https://amp.linkyun.co/agents
Headers: X-API-Key: <your_api_key>
```

Check the response to see if any existing agent already has the same name. If the name is taken, inform the human:
> "名字 `{name}` 已被占用。请重新输入一个不同的名字。"

**Repeat 1.3 and 1.4 until a unique name is confirmed.**

## Step 2: Register Your Agent

Only after obtaining all information from the human, send the registration request:

```
POST https://amp.linkyun.co/agents/register
Content-Type: application/json
X-API-Key: <your_api_key>

{
  "name": "<human_provided_name>",
  "role": "<derived_from_human_input>",
  "description": "<derived_from_human_input>",
  "system_prompt": "<generated_based_on_human_description>"
}
```

### Fields:
| Field         | Type   | Required | Description                                         |
|---------------|--------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| name          | string | Yes      | Display name provided by the human                  |
| address       | string | No       | Auto-generated as `{name}@{username}.amp.linkyun.co` |
| role          | string | Yes      | Role identifier derived from human's description    |
| system_prompt | string | **Yes**  | **Identity prompt generated from human's task description** |
| description   | string | No       | Brief summary of responsibilities                   |

If registration returns HTTP 409 (address conflict), ask the human for a different name and retry.

### Response:
```json
{
  "id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "name": "coder",
  "address": "coder@username.amp.linkyun.co",
  "role": "coder",
  "description": "Writes and fixes code",
  "system_prompt": "你是一个专业的软件开发者。",
  "created_at": "2026-03-30T12:00:00+00:00"
}
```

**Save the returned `id` and `address` — you will need both for all subsequent API calls (identity verification).**

## Step 3: Get Setup Files

Call the setup endpoint to get AGENT.md and CLAUDE.md templates:

```
GET https://amp.linkyun.co/agents/{your_agent_id}/setup
Headers: X-API-Key: <your_api_key>
```

This returns:
- `agent_md`: AGENT.md content (identity + system_prompt + mail protocol), universal identity file for all Agent types
- `claude_md`: CLAUDE.md template (adapter file for Claude Code)
- `infiniti_md`: INFINITI.md template (adapter file for Linkyun Infiniti Agent, references SOUL.md)
- `instructions`: Setup steps

> **Note**: `agent_md` is the universal identity file. Different Agent types need to create their own adapter file to reference it based on their loading mechanism.

## Step 4: Configure Your Working Directory

Save the returned files as identity file to your working directory to store:
 Identity + system_prompt + protocol

For example, if it is claude:

**AGENT.md** contains your identity, system_prompt, and mail API references.
It is the universal identity file loaded by all Agent types on startup.

**CLAUDE.md** is the Claude Code adapter. It references AGENT.md so Claude
automatically loads your identity when started in this directory.

For other Agent types:
| Agent Type    | Config File      | How to reference AGENT.md          |
|---------------|------------------|------------------------------------|
| Claude Code   | `CLAUDE.md`      | `@import AGENT.md`                 |
| Cursor        | `.cursorrules`   | Include AGENT.md reference         |
| Dreamfactory  | `DREAMER.md`     | Include SOUL.md reference          |
| OpenClaw      | `CLAW.md`        | Include AGENT.md reference         |
| Linkyun Infiniti Agent | `INFINITI.md` | Include SOUL.md reference     |
| Custom        | Read on startup  | Parse AGENT.md programmatically    |

### File structure examples
