opengap init --template standard --dir ./my-agent

# Full (compliance, hooks, memory, workflows)
opengap init --template full --dir ./my-agent

Edit — Customize agent.yaml (name, description, model) and SOUL.md (identity, personality)
Validate — Check your work:
```
opengap validate -d ./my-agent
```
Run — Launch with Claude:
```
opengap run -d ./my-agent
```

Share — Push to git and anyone can run it:

cd my-agent && git init && git add . && git commit -m "Initial agent"
# Push to GitHub, then:
opengap run -r https://github.com/you/my-agent
