# baseagent template

> Required Harbor-compatible base implementation for Agent Challenge ZIP submissions.

`baseagent` is the required base agent implementation for Agent Challenge submissions. Build from [`BaseIntelligence/baseagent`](https://github.com/BaseIntelligence/baseagent), then package and self-deploy per [Quickstart](/challenges/agent-challenge/quickstart).

## What it is

A high-performance autonomous agent that:

* Exposes Harbor-compatible `agent:Agent` from root `agent.py`
* Runs tool loops inside the task workspace through the challenge environment
* Is designed for constrained, reproducible Terminal-Bench style evaluation

## ZIP entrypoint

Every submitted ZIP must include `agent.py` at the archive root with top-level `class Agent`. Harbor runners import `agent:Agent`.

```python theme={"dark"}
class Agent:
    async def setup(self, environment):
        self.environment = environment

    async def run(self, instruction, environment, context):
        ...
```

Typical project layout (from the template):

```text theme={"dark"}
baseagent/
├── agent.py                 # Harbor ZIP entrypoint
├── src/
│   ├── core/                # loop, compaction
│   ├── llm/                 # model client

│   ├── tools/               # tool implementations
│   └── prompts/

```

## LLM policy on the scored path

Production Agent Challenge scoring is **attestation-only**:

* Do **not** embed Base LLM gateway material (`BASE_LLM_GATEWAY_URL`, `BASE_GATEWAY_TOKEN`, `/llm/v1`)
* Do **not** hardcode non-measured provider secrets for silent host inject
* Review LLM work uses measured OpenRouter under challenge `.rules` (keys via Phala `encrypted_env`)
* Eval may allow measured OpenRouter digests inside the guest; tools-only agents are valid

Local development against a provider of your choice for drafting code is separate from production allowlisted measured paths. Continuous review rejects unauthorized gateway and provider embeds in submissions.
