How to use
- Copy the installation command and review the source package before installing it in your own agent environment.
- Check the source document for required tools, credentials and supported hosts.
- Describe your input and desired deliverable; review the output against the source material.

- Installation does not include a model subscription, API allowance or permission to access your files.
- Repository stars and installation counts describe activity, not an independent quality or security test.

Hosty App Skill
Use this skill to implement Hosty runtime apps in the shape expected by this repository. The supported contract is an app manifest with schemaVersion: "app.0.1".
Workflow
- Identify whether the user wants to create a new runtime app, wrap an existing app, update an app manifest, add Hosty identity/roles, configure data/backups, or validate an app.
- Treat
docs/features/runtime-app-manifest/feature.md,docs/features/domain-model/feature.md,docs/features/auth-gateway/feature.md,apps/core/src/Haas.Hosty.Core/RuntimeAppManifest.cs,apps/core/src/Haas.Hosty.Core/CoreLifecycleService.cs, andapps/demo-appas source of truth when implementation details matter. - Use
apps/demo-app/manifest.jsonas the manifest shape andhosty apps install apps/demo-app --runtime devas the local directory install pattern.

Local Validation
Use Core-managed runtime app lifecycle:
hosty core start
hosty apps install apps/demo-app --runtime dev
hosty apps start com.haas.demo-appFor direct endpoint probes:
TOKEN="$(hosty apps identity com.haas.demo-app --user user@docker-host.local --format token)"
curl -H "X-Docker-Host-Identity: $TOKEN" <assigned-demo-app-origin>/api/auth/identity
