Agents

The Agents page (/agents) is the central hub for all agent management in Nexora. Every agent available to your workspace is listed here, along with quick access to create new ones.

Page Overview

The page opens with an “Agents” heading and a subtitle showing the current count. A “New Agent” button sits in the top-right corner and launches the creation wizard.

Search and Filter

A search input labelled “Search agents by name, type, or description…” lets you filter agents by free text across all three fields simultaneously.

Below the search bar, a row of filter chips narrows the list by agent type:

Agent Count Label

An “N AGENTS” label with a briefcase icon appears above the list as a quick reference for the currently-visible result count.

Agent Cards

Each agent is displayed as a list card containing:

• Blue robot avatar icon
• Name — the agent’s display name
• Type badge — e.g. Architect, Assistant, Devops
• “built-in” badge — shown on all platform-provided agents
• Description — a one-sentence summary of the agent’s purpose
• Skill tag chips — named skill badges (e.g. braindump, roadmap, platform_management)
• Link count — a paperclip icon followed by the number of linked resources
• Chevron right — click the card to open the agent detail view

Built-in Agent Catalog

Nexora ships with 7 built-in agents pre-configured with skills, tools, and personas — ready to use without any setup.

Architect Agents

These four agents specialise in scaffolding and managing platform components through the respective APIs.

Agent Architect

Type: Architect · Links: 4

Platform engineer specialised in creating and managing agents. Knows the Agents API and can scaffold fully-configured agents with skills, tools, and personas. Use this agent when you want to describe a new agent in natural language and have it created automatically.

Persona Architect

Type: Architect · Links: 3

Platform engineer specialised in creating and managing agent personas. Knows the Personas API and can scaffold new personas directly in the database. Use this agent to create or modify the identity and tone settings for any agent.

Skill Architect

Type: Architect · Links: 3

Platform engineer specialised in creating and managing skills. Knows the Skills API and can scaffold new skills directly in the database. Ideal when you want to bundle a set of tools into a named, reusable capability.

Tool Architect

Type: Architect · Links: 3

Platform engineer specialised in creating and managing tools. Knows the Tools API and can scaffold new tools with documentation files. Use this agent when you need to expose a new API endpoint or shell command as a callable tool.

Coordinator Agents

Agents that facilitate team-level processes across multiple agents and workstreams.

Scrum Master

Type: Coordinator · Skills: schedule_manage · Links: 9

Built-in facilitator agent that runs daily standups, sprint planning, and blocker resolution for all active agents in the org. Uses the schedule_manage skill to create and manage recurring schedules. Configure this agent and point it at your project to automate your agile ceremonies.

Devops Agents

Infrastructure Manager

Type: Devops · Skills: platform_management · Links: 5

Built-in DevOps agent with full access to platform source code and Docker daemon. Can audit, edit, and restart backend and frontend services. Uses the platform_management skill to apply live changes to the running platform. Use with caution — this agent has write access to the host filesystem and Docker.

Project Manager Agents

Project Manager

Type: Project Manager · Links: 9

Autonomous project manager that plans, delegates, and tracks multi-step objectives. Creates a structured plan, deploys specialist sub-agents, marks steps done as results arrive, and iterates until every step is complete before reporting to the user. This agent uses sub-agent spawning (agent_spawn skill pattern) to distribute work across the rest of your agent fleet.

New Agent Wizard

Click “New Agent” in the top-right corner to open the four-step creation wizard.

Step 1 — Persona

Choose a persona template to pre-configure capabilities, personality, and default tools. Each template card shows:

• Template name and description
• Skill count and tool count

Available templates include:

Step 2 — Identity

Define the agent’s basic information:

• Agent name — the display name shown in the agents list and chat headers
• Type — select from: Architect, Assistant, Coordinator, Custom, Devops, Project Manager
• Base persona — the persona that shapes the agent’s system prompt and communication style
• Description — a short summary that appears on the agent card and helps other agents understand when to delegate to this one

Step 3 — Capabilities

Assign the agent’s capabilities:

• Skills — named bundles of tools and instructions (e.g. bash, git, platform_management)
• Additional tools — individual tool definitions available to the agent beyond what skills provide

The capabilities panel shows available skills and tools from the platform library. Toggle each one on or off to include it in the agent’s configuration.

Step 4 — Environment

Configure runtime settings:

• Model preferences — override the default model for this specific agent
• Environment settings — agent-level environment configuration (timeouts, concurrency, etc.)

Once all four steps are complete, click “Create Agent” to save the agent to the database. It will appear immediately in the agents list and be available for use in chat sessions.

Navigating to Agents

You can reach the Agents page in two ways:

1. Click the “Agents” button shown in the workspace empty state when no conversations exist yet
2. Navigate directly to /agents in the sidebar
