Onnie & custom agents

Onnie is the default superagent host — the agent most operators talk to first. Custom agents are additional agents you create for the workspace: different tools, skills, and connector grants for specialised jobs.

Where in the product

Open Agents from the product chrome (dialog shell, not a desktop “Onniebots module”). Rail pages: Agents library, Skills, Connectors, Blueprints.

Agents dialogAgents · Skills · Connectors · Blueprints

How to use the library

  1. Open Agents to list Onnie and custom agents; create a new agent when you need a specialist.
  2. Open an agent’s detail to manage identity, tools, skills allowlist / preload, and connector grants.
  3. Prefer Onnie for general work; use custom agents when you want a tighter tool and skill set.
  4. Install Skills and connect Connectors from their pages — then grant them to the agents that should use them.

Agents do work. Skills teach. Connectors plug in the outside world. Blueprints define structured Work (library in this dialog; domain is Work).

Key distinctions

  • Product title is Agents — not “Onniebots” as a module name.
  • Functions & variables are not a member product page (runtime only).
  • Viewers browse read-only; editors/admins configure.
