Setup & Installation
What This Skill Does
Reference guide for VoltAgent architectural patterns and conventions. Covers when to use agents versus workflows, project layout, memory configuration, server providers, and observability setup.
Having the conventions in one place means you don't need to dig through the VoltAgent monorepo to find the right import, memory pattern, or server option each time you start a new project.
When to use it
- Choosing between Agent and Workflow when designing a new VoltAgent service
- Wiring up VoltOps tracing by setting the right environment variables
- Picking a server provider based on runtime target (Node, Cloudflare, Netlify)
- Structuring the src/ directory for agents, tools, and workflows
- Avoiding safeStringify footguns when working inside VoltAgent packages
