Hydracept

Agent plugin distribution

Hydracept ships agent integrations as hydracept-agent-plugin — compiled from the canonical public/agents/source/ tree in the Hydracept repository into native host projections.

Canonical one-liner

Use this verbatim in marketplace listings, package metadata, and docs:

> Hydracept is an API and agent-integrated generation platform for adding image, media, and model generation to applications without building provider-specific infrastructure.
