elizaOS Eliza
Eliza is this repo's local-first agent app and Cloud-backed product built on elizaOS. Use this skill when a worker needs to understand the running Eliza agent, work inside the Eliza checkout, build or modify the agent, or ask the parent runtime for information/actions that are not available from files alone.

Worker Protocol
- Read the local repo instructions first:
AGENTS.md,CLAUDE.md, and any task-provided memory file. - Stay in the provided CWD. The orchestrator injects the workspace path into the agent memory file; do not leave it for
/tmp,$HOME, or another checkout. - If
ELIZA_SKILLS_MANIFESTorSKILLS.mdexists, read it before assuming a capability is unavailable. - To ask the running parent Eliza agent for information or actions, emit a standalone line:
USE_SKILL parent-agent {"request":"Describe exactly what you need the parent Eliza agent to do"}
- To inspect parent actions first:
USE_SKILL parent-agent {"mode":"list-actions","query":"github"}
- To call deterministic Eliza Cloud APIs through the parent account, inspect commands with
USE_SKILL parent-agent {"mode":"list-cloud-commands"}and call them withmode:"cloud-command". Paid, mutating, or destructive Cloud commands require parent/user confirmation andconfirmed:true. - Use parent capabilities for data/actions that belong to the parent runtime: calendar, GitHub, browser, app/cloud account state, user-confirmed paid operations, payment requests, domain purchases, promotion/media generation, private memory, connector state, and plugin-specific tools.
- If the parent asks for confirmation or returns a blocker, continue from that result. If you need the human to decide, print
DECISION: <specific question or blocker>.
