User: Draft a reply for opportunity #3.
Agent:
We've been running agents with a config-first approach — the entire agent identity is defined in a single markdown file (SOUL.md). No Python, no orchestration code.
You define the role, rules, and schedule in plain English. The framework handles the rest: heartbeats, memory, channel connections.
For non-technical deployment, the key is having a good template to start from. What kind of agent are you building? I might have a template that fits.
This adds genuine value without being promotional. The question invites follow-up.
