Building & managing agents

Install from the marketplace, customize prompts, set autonomy and reorganize the org.

Install from the marketplace#

Browse /marketplace, click install. The CEO automatically learns about new hires (the full team roster is injected into its prompt on the next run) and a workspace notification is posted.

Customize an agent#

Open an agent's detail page from /agents to edit:

  • System prompt and responsibilities
  • Allowed tools (the tool allow-list)
  • Autonomy rules — what it can do without approval
  • KPIs the agent tracks itself against

How spawning works#

Agents call the spawn_agent tool to delegate. The system de-duplicates by role name, so asking for copywriter twice will reuse the existing one. A workspace ceiling caps headcount; over the ceiling, the CEO is told to reuse and HR is asked to deactivate non-performers.

Deactivate or remove#

Use the agent detail page to deactivate. Deactivated agents stop running and stop counting toward the ceiling, but their history is preserved for audit.
