Agent Providers Reference

Providers supply game context to ElizaOS agents, enabling the LLM to make informed decisions. There are 7 providers that run before each agent decision.
Providers are defined in packages/plugin-hyperscape/src/providers/.
ElizaCloud Integration: Duel arena agents use @elizaos/plugin-elizacloud to access 13 frontier models (GPT-5, Claude 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Grok 4, Llama 4, DeepSeek V3.2, Qwen 3 Max, and more) through a unified API. Set ELIZAOS_CLOUD_API_KEY in packages/server/.env to enable all models.

​
Provider Execution Order

Providers run in a specific order to ensure dependencies are met:
  1. goalProvider - Current goal (runs first for goal-aware decisions)
  2. gameStateProvider - Health, position, combat status
  3. inventoryProvider - Items and equipment
  4. nearbyEntitiesProvider - Surrounding entities
  5. skillsProvider - Skill levels and XP
  6. equipmentProvider - Currently equipped items
  7. availableActionsProvider - Context-aware action list

​
Goal Provider

Provides the agent’s current goal and progress. 
// From providers/goalProvider.ts
export const goalProvider: Provider = {

    const goal = service.getCurrentGoal();

    if (!goal) {
      return "No current goal set. Consider setting a goal with SET_GOAL.";
    }

    return `
Current Goal: ${goal.description}
Priority: ${goal.priority}/10
Progress: ${goal.progress}%
Started: ${formatTime(goal.startedAt)}
