Blend — Agent-Native Workspace

A monorepo hosting multiple agent-native apps that all inherit from a single private workspace core package. The core module provides shared auth, agent instructions, skills, components, and plugins; each app just ships its own screens and template-specific actions.

Three-layer inheritance

Every app in this workspace inherits cross-cutting behavior automatically:

1. App local (highest priority) — anything under apps/<name>/server/plugins/, apps/<name>/actions/, apps/<name>/.agents/skills/, apps/<name>/AGENTS.md.
2. Workspace core (middle) — packages/core-module/src/server/, packages/core-module/actions/, packages/core-module/skills/, packages/core-module/AGENTS.md.
3. Framework (lowest) — @agent-native/core defaults.

Apps don't need any configuration to opt in. Discovery happens via the agent-native.workspaceCore field in this root package.json, which names the workspace core package (@blend/core-module).

Getting started

pnpm install
cp .env.example .env   # fill in DATABASE_URL, BETTER_AUTH_SECRET, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
pnpm dev               # starts the example app

Adding a new app

cd apps
pnpm exec agent-native create crm

The CLI detects the workspace root and scaffolds a minimal app that already depends on @blend/core-module. Edit only the routes you care about; auth, org switching, skills, and instructions come from the core module.

Editing shared behavior

Everything cross-cutting lives in packages/core-module/. A change to packages/core-module/src/server/auth-plugin.ts, for example, is picked up by every app in the workspace on the next dev reload — no need to touch any individual app.
