Manage agents from the Agents area in Agent Chat. The action menu beside an agent opens its profile, model settings, context files, and availability controls. Your role determines whether you can view or change them.

​
Create an agent

  1. Open Agent Chat and choose Create agent.
  2. Select an available role template.
  3. Enter a recognizable display name and configure the offered profile options.
  4. Choose or customize an avatar if needed.
  5. Confirm creation and wait for setup.
The role is fixed after creation. Create a different agent when you need a different role. If an agent shows Setup failed, review the error and use Retry setup when offered. A profile appearing in the list does not by itself prove setup completed.

​
Edit the profile

Open the agent action menu and choose Edit profile. Update the display name or avatar, then save. With read-only access, the menu may offer View profile instead. Profile model settings can inherit the workspace default or use an agent-specific override. See Model providers for inheritance, thinking level, and application status.

​
Manage context

Choose Manage contexts from the agent action menu to edit AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, and MEMORY.md. Saving affects the agent’s next runs. See Agent Context for file purposes, saving, conflicts, and template reset. Keep project-specific shared instructions in PROJECT.md. Context files are distinct from skills.

​
Pause and resume

Choose Pause agent and confirm when the agent should be unavailable for new work. Paused agents appear in the paused section; use Resume agent to make one available again. Pausing an agent is an availability action. To control a running task, also inspect its lifecycle and current execution. Do not assume that hiding or pausing an agent has transferred its task to someone else.

​
Skills

Manage skills opens the selected agent’s Installed Skills and All Skills browser. See Agent skills for installation, inherited workspace skills, and agent overrides. Use Workspace Skills for shared installations, creation, imports, and managed skill clones.
