Building a Simple Command

In order to build a new activity for nsquared agents you will need to build a .NET 8.0 assembly that contains a class that implements the IAgentCommand interface.

The full source code for this example

Step-by-Step creating a simple nsquared agent Command

Start by creating a new C# class library project named SimpleCommand.
```
 dotnet new classlib --name SimpleCommand
```
This will create a new folder named SimpleCommand containing C# project named SimpleCommand, and a code file named Class1.cs.
Rename the file Class1.cs to Command.cs

Rename the class in the code to Command

 namespace SimpleCommand;
 public class Command
 {
 }

In the SimpleCommand.csproj file make sure the TargetFramework is net8.0
```
 <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
```
In the SimpleCommand.csproj file add a TargetExt field below the TargetFramework line
```
 <TargetExt>.Command</TargetExt>
```
Add a package reference to the nsquared.agents NuGet package, from PowerShell you can do this with the following command.
```
dotnet add package nsquared.agents.api --prerelease
```
This will add the reference to the SimpleCommand.csproj file
```
 <ItemGroup>
   <PackageReference Include="naquared.agents.api" />
 </ItemGroup>
```
In the Command.cs file add a using to import the nsquared.agents namespace
```
 using nsquared.agents;
```
In the Command.cs file implement the IAgentCommand interface in the Command class
```
 public class Command : IAgentCommand
```

Add the required methods to the Command class

 using nsquared.agents;

 namespace SimpleCommand;
 public class Command : IAgentCommand
 {
     public string Name => "SimpleCommand";

     public bool HasSettings => false;
     public AgentCommandType CommandType => AgentCommandType.KeywordLocal;

     Task<string?> IAgentCommand.Perform(string commandRequest, IAgentAnimations? animations)
     {
         if (commandRequest.Contains("simple", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
         {
             return Task.FromResult<string?>("I am doing a simple command!");
         }
         return Task.FromResult<string?>(null);
     }
 }

Build the SimpleCommand project. It should build the SimpleCommand.Command file in a bin folder.
Run the nsquared agents application and open Settings, and then go to Manage Commands
In the Commands select Add
Find the SimpleCommand.Command file you have built.
Invoke the SimpleCommand by using the keyword simple in your request
