Creating an Agent

Step-by-step guide to creating a new agent.

Click + Create Agent from the Agent Management page to open the creation dialog.

Step 1: Choose a starting point

From Template

Pick a pre-built template to get started fast. Templates come with sensible defaults for model, persona, tools, and system prompt.

Available templates include:

• Code Reviewer — reviews pull requests and code quality

• QA Engineer — runs tests and validates functionality

• Sentinel — security monitoring and auditing

• Scribe — documentation and report writing

• Scout — research and information gathering

• Comms — handles communication and email workflows

From Scratch

Step 2: Basic information

Field	Required	Description
Name	Yes	A display name for the agent
Category	Yes	The agent's type (custom, support, code_architect, etc.)
Description	Recommended	What the agent does — used by the router for matching

Write a clear, specific description. The Universal Router uses it to decide when to send messages to this agent. "Handles code reviews for JavaScript and TypeScript" is better than "Code stuff".

Step 3: Model selection

Choose which LLM powers this agent:

Setting	Description
Provider	OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, or DeepSeek
Model	The specific model ID (e.g., claude-sonnet-4-20250514, gpt-4, deepseek-chat)
Temperature	Controls creativity (0 = deterministic, 1 = creative)
Max tokens	Maximum response length

Step 4: Persona

Select a persona that defines the agent's communication style and personality:

• Professional — formal, detailed responses

• Casual — conversational and approachable

• Technical — precise, code-focused responses

• Custom — write your own persona description

Step 5: Tools and skills

Assign tools from your connected integrations:

• Tools — apps like GitHub, Slack, Jira (via Composio)

• Skills — git-based capability packages

• Plugins — marketplace-installed bundles

You can always add or remove tools later from the Agent Details panel.

Step 6: Create

Click Create to deploy your agent. It appears on the roster immediately and is ready to receive messages through Chat.
