Agent Configuration

Agent Skills

NEW

Agent Skills extend your agent with specialized instructions that can be loaded on demand. Skills are defined usingSKILL.md files based on the Agent Skills open standard. Your agent can load skills dynamically using the loadSkill tool.

Accessing the Skills Tab

To manage skills for your agent, navigate to your agent's configuration page and click on the Skills tab. This tab is located alongside Core, Tools, Sub Agents, and Access tabs.

Installing a Skill

Click "Edit Details" to open the skill installation panel. You can install skills using three methods:

After selecting your installation method and providing the skill content, click "Install Skill" to add it to your agent. The skill will appear in the Installed Skills list with its name, source URL (if applicable), and description.

SKILL.md File Format

Skills use a simple markdown format with YAML frontmatter containing metadata, followed by instructions:

---
name: my-skill
description: What this skill does and when to use it
---

## Instructions

Detailed instructions for the skill go here.
The agent will follow these instructions when
the skill is loaded.

How Skills Work at Runtime

When your agent needs specialized capabilities, it can invoke the loadSkill tool to dynamically load an installed skill. The skill's instructions are then incorporated into the agent's context, allowing it to perform tasks defined by that skill.

• On-demand loading - Skills are only loaded when needed, keeping the agent's base context lean
• Specialized instructions - Each skill provides focused guidance for specific tasks
• Composable - Multiple skills can be installed, and the agent chooses which to load based on the task

Finding Skills

Visit skills.sh to browse a directory of community-contributed skills. You can also create your own custom skills by following the SKILL.md format above.

Advanced Settings

The Config tab includes Advanced Settings that allow you to fine-tune your agent's behavior through Response Creativity (temperature) controls and Content Safety filters. These settings determine how creative or focused your agent's responses are, and what types of content are filtered.

Persistent Conversations

Persistent Conversations is a powerful feature that allows your agents to maintain conversation history across browser sessions. When enabled, users can return to their conversations with your agent and continue where they left off, creating a more seamless and personalized experience.

How Persistent Conversations Work

When persistent conversations are enabled for an agent, the conversation history is preserved using a combination of browser-stored identifiers and server-side storage. This means:

• Conversation Continuity - Users can close their browser and return later to continue the same conversation
• Full History Access - All previous messages, tool usage, and context are preserved and reloaded
• Browser-Specific - Conversations are tied to the specific browser and device being used through stored identifiers
• User Control - Users can reset the conversation at any time using the "Reset Conversation" button

Enabling Persistent Conversations

To enable persistent conversations for your agent:

1. Navigate to your agent's configuration page
2. Locate the "Enable Persistent Conversations" toggle in the Overview section
3. Toggle it on to enable the feature
4. Save your changes and redeploy your agent

When to Use Persistent Conversations

Resetting Conversations

Users can reset their conversation with an agent at any time by clicking the "Reset Conversation" button in the chat interface. This will:

• Clear all conversation history
• Start a fresh conversation from scratch
• Remove all context from previous interactions
• Display the agent's greeting message again
