Craft an agent-backed scope

This section walks you through everything you need to define and register your own agent-backed scope. You'll write a specification, define lifecycle actions, and make the scope available to developers in your organization.

What you’ll do here​

By the end of this section, you’ll know how to:

  • Define your scope specification
  • Implement lifecycle and custom actions
  • Register your scope so developers can use it in the platform

Each of these steps maps to a dedicated guide:

  • Scope specification Learn how to define your scope’s structure, including its parameters, visibility, and allowed asset types.

  • Lifecycle action specifications
    Set up the create, update, and custom actions that bring your scope’s lifecycle to life.

  • Register your scope
    Enable your scope for use in specific accounts or namespaces using the CLI or API.

Prerequisites​

  • What agent-backed scopes are
  • How they differ from services
  • What specifications and actions do

If you're already comfortable with those, you're good to go.
