03. Core Capabilities and Resources

This section details the core capabilities provided by the Dana platform and the Resource abstraction model through which Dana programs interact with both internal and external functionalities.

Capabilities are high-level functionalities that an agent or Dana program can leverage. Resources are concrete implementations, often Python classes, that provide these capabilities to the Dana runtime environment.

Documents

• Overview of Capabilities and Resources: Introduces the concepts and their roles in Dana.
• Resource Abstraction Model: Details the design of the Resource class, configuration, and lifecycle.
• Standard System Resources: Describes built-in resources (e.g., LLMResource, FileSystemResource, NetworkResource).
• User-defined Resources: Explains how users can create and integrate custom resources.
• Capability Invocation from Dana: How Dana code accesses and uses resources and their methods.

(More documents to be added as specific capabilities are designed, e.g., for specific LLM interactions, tool usage, data handling, etc.)
