+## Identity
+
+Managed identities use the integrating product's stable end-user id:
+
+```yaml
+identities:
+  chen:
+    provider: qoder
+    external_id: user_456
+    name: Chen
+    enabled: true
+    metadata:
+      department: engineering
+```
+
+`agents apply` creates or updates the remote Identity and stores its provider id in state. To reference an Identity managed outside this project, use the mutually exclusive external-reference form:
+
+```yaml
+identities:
+  chen:
+    provider: qoder
+    identity_id: idn_019eabc123
+```
+
+External references are verified and recorded but never updated or deleted.
+
+## Channel
+
+```yaml
+channels:
+  support-dingtalk:
+    provider: qoder                 # optional; inherits defaults.provider
+    agent: support-agent
+    identity: chen                  # optional; inherits defaults.identity
+    type: dingtalk
+    name: Support DingTalk          # optional; defaults to the YAML key
+    enabled: true                   # optional; defaults to true
+    credentials:
+      client_id: ${DINGTALK_CLIENT_ID}
+      client_secret: ${DINGTALK_CLIENT_SECRET}
+    options:
+      include_tool_calls: false
+      include_thinking: false
+```
+
+The declaration intentionally uses logical `agent` and `identity` references. Provider adapters resolve remote ids and map `type`, `credentials`, and `options` to provider wire fields. Qoder Channels require the referenced Agent to use Forward delivery. Credential-based Qoder support currently covers DingTalk, Feishu, and WeCom; personal WeChat remains QR-only.
+
 ## Provider configuration
 
 Each provider under `providers` is validated by the provider's own config schema.
