Why Rails Agents

Agents today are where the web was before frameworks — everyone hand-rolling the same plumbing. Eve made that shape a framework for TypeScript. Rails Agents is that shape for Rails.

An agent is a directory. Production — durable execution, hosted schedules, Tool Bridge, dashboard — ships with the product.

An agent is a directory

app/agents/weather/          # complete agent
  agent.json                 # the model it runs on
  instructions.md            # who it is
  tools/                     # what it can do
    fetch_forecast.rb
    post_summary.rb
  skills/                    # what it knows
    cities-and-units.md
  schedules/                 # when it acts on its own
    morning.yml

Each file is one component. At a glance you see what the agent is, what it does, and when it runs.

vs RubyLLM

RubyLLM is an excellent LLM toolkit you host. Rails Agents is the agent product path: directory → durable cloud → schedules.
