+# Agents
+
+This document describes the micro agents available in the MetalOS project and provides guidelines for creating and integrating agents within the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), incorporating industry-standard software engineering best practices.
+
+## Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
+
+Micro agents should align with the following SDLC phases:
+
+1. **Requirements Gathering**
+   - Automate verification of requirement specifications, traceability, and completeness checks.
+2. **Design**
+   - Generate or validate design artifacts (UML diagrams, interface contracts).
+3. **Implementation**
+   - Scaffold code templates, enforce style guides, run linters and formatters.
+4. **Testing**
+   - Execute unit, integration, and system tests; collect and report coverage metrics.
+5. **Deployment**
+   - Package builds, create images, and deploy to staging or production environments.
+6. **Maintenance**
+   - Monitor for dependency updates, security patches, and performance regressions.
+
+## Software Engineering Best Practices
+
+- **Version Control**: Use Git feature branches; agents should support branch checkout and tagging.
+- **Code Quality**: Integrate static analysis tools (clang-tidy, flake8) and adhere to coding standards.
+- **CI/CD Integration**: Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines; provide status badges and failure alerts.
+- **Testing Strategy**: Encourage TDD/BDD; maintain high test coverage; isolate flaky tests.
+- **Documentation**: Generate and validate README, API docs, and changelogs; ensure up-to-date references.
+- **Security**: Automate vulnerability scanning (e.g., Snyk, Dependabot); enforce secret detection policies.
+- **Performance Monitoring**: Collect metrics during test runs; alert on regressions.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+By convention, all agent code resides under an `agents/` directory:
+
+```
+agents/
+  ├── ExampleAgent/
+  │     ├── main.py
+  │     ├── README.md
+  │     └── tests/
+  └── AnotherAgent/
+        └── ...
+```
+
+## Creating a New Agent
+
+1. Create `agents/<AgentName>/`.
+2. Add an entrypoint script (`main.py`, `agent.sh`) with `--help` output.
+3. Include unit tests under `tests/` and CI workflow definitions.^
+4. Document usage and dependencies in `agents/<AgentName>/README.md`.
+5. Register the agent under **Available Agents** below.
+
+## Available Agents
+
+| Name         | Path                  | Description                               |
+|--------------|-----------------------|-------------------------------------------|
+| ExampleAgent | `agents/ExampleAgent` | Sample agent illustrating best practices. |
+| BuildAgent   | `agents/BuildAgent`   | Automates the CMake build process and reports status. |
+| TestAgent    | `agents/TestAgent`    | Runs project test suite and gathers results. |
+| LintAgent    | `agents/LintAgent`    | Executes linters (clang-tidy, flake8) and formats code. |
+| DocGenAgent  | `agents/DocGenAgent`  | Generates and validates project documentation. |
+| DeployAgent  | `agents/DeployAgent`  | Packages and deploys builds to staging or production. |
+| DepUpdateAgent | `agents/DepUpdateAgent` | Checks for and applies dependency updates. |
+| RoadmapAgent    | `agents/RoadmapAgent`    | View or append items in docs/ROADMAP.md. |
+
+---
+*Maintain this document by updating **Available Agents**, SDLC alignment, and best practices guidelines as agents evolve.*

+# BuildAgent
+
+BuildAgent automates the CMake-based build process for the MetalOS project.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.6+
+- CMake installed and available on PATH
+
+## Installation
+
+No installation required. Ensure the script is executable:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x agents/BuildAgent/main.py
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+./agents/BuildAgent/main.py [options]
+```
+
+### Options
+
+- `-d, --build-dir DIR`: Build directory (default: `build`)
+- `-c, --config CONFIG`: CMake configuration (Debug, Release)
+- `--clean`: Clean the build directory before building
+
+## Examples
+
+Configure and build in `build/`:
+```bash
+./agents/BuildAgent/main.py
+```
+
+Clean, configure, and build in `out/` with Release config:
+```bash
+./agents/BuildAgent/main.py -d out -c Release --clean
+```
+
+## Tests
+
+No tests currently. Ensure you can run the script and invoke CMake successfully.
