Migration Steps

1. Create OSSA Manifest

apiVersion: ossa/v0.3.0 kind: Agent metadata: name: my-autogpt-agent version: 1.0.0 spec: model: provider: openai name: gpt-4 capabilities: - web_search - file_operations - code_execution

2. Map Goals to Objectives

AutoGPT goals become OSSA objectives:

spec: objectives: - description: "Research and summarize topic" priority: 1

3. Convert Plugins to Capabilities

AutoGPT plugins map to OSSA capabilities or MCP tools.

Key Differences

  1. Autonomy Level: OSSA provides finer control over agent autonomy
  2. Observability: OSSA includes built-in tracing and metrics
  3. Security: OSSA enforces sandbox policies
