Inheritance Pattern
# Base agent
# .parac/agents/specs/base-coder.yaml
name: base-coder
model: gpt-4
temperature: 0.7
system_prompt: "You are a software developer."
skills:
- code-generation
# Specialized agent (inherits from base)
# .parac/agents/specs/python-coder.yaml
name: python-coder
inherits: base-coder # Inherits all properties from base-coder
temperature: 0.5 # Override: lower temperature for Python
skills:
- code-generation # Inherited
- python-specific # Added
system_prompt: |
You are a Python expert.
Follow PEP 8 standards.
Configuration Best Practices
