Preconfigs
Define agent personalities. Model, tools, system prompt, and spawn rules bundled together.
Location: Settings → Preconfigs
A preconfig defines what your agent can do and how it behaves. Each preconfig bundles a system prompt, a set of tools, a default model, and spawn rules for subagents. You can create multiple preconfigs for different tasks and switch between them in any session.
The preconfig list
Set one as default and it will be auto-selected when you open a new session. Other preconfigs are available via the preconfig selector in the chat input.
Edit a preconfig
Click a preconfig to open the editor:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | Display name for the selector |
| Description | What this agent does. Other agents read this when deciding which subagent to spawn. |
| Model | Leave unset to inherit the session model |
| Default | Auto-select this preconfig for new sessions |
| Tools | Which tools this agent can use. Only granted tools are available. |
| Temperature | Controls creativity. 0 = deterministic, higher = more random. |
| Skills | Leave empty to use all available skills, or pick specific ones. |
| System Prompt | The agent's behavior, role, and constraints. This is where you define what the agent actually does. |
Subagent rules
Toggle whether the agent can spawn subagents. If enabled, you can limit which preconfigs it's allowed to spawn, or let it use all of them.
When a subagent is spawned, it runs in an isolated session within the same workspace. Interrupts cascade. Stop the parent, stop them all.
