YAML-First Configuration

Declarative agent definition in YAML rather than imperative code.

What is YAML-First Configuration?

YAML-first configuration means defining agents, tools, workflows, and policies in declarative YAML files rather than imperative Python or TypeScript code. Benefits: non-developers can read and edit configs, configs are diff-friendly for code review, and the same YAML can be tested, versioned, and deployed without rebuild. LeafMesh ADK is YAML-first by design.
