# Agents, memory and skills

Agents are the assistants you talk to in Chat and hand tasks to in Work. Each one has a name, a purpose, a connection and model, and a list of tools it may use; **Memory** keeps what they learn about you, and **Skills** give them reusable instructions.

## Where it is

**LLM › Agents**. The second row has **Agents** (the page is titled **Agent team**), **Memory** and **Skills**.

## The default team

OmniGet starts with three agents:

| Agent | Role | What it does | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Omni** | Coordinator | The assistant inside OmniGet. Answers briefly, in your language, and uses a tool only when it is clearly needed. | Reads files freely; asks before editing, writing, running commands or delegating. |
| **Builder** | Worker | The coding agent. Reads the code before changing it and makes the smallest edit that solves the task. | Same as Omni. |
| **Scout** | Worker | The reading and research agent. Finds files and facts, says where each came from, never edits. | Read-only tools. |

All three pick their model by route: a local Ollama model first, then Anthropic, then OpenAI, using whichever connection you have. Add one in **LLM › Configure › Connections** ([Connections, models and limits](https://getomniget.com/docs/accounts-limits)).

Roles: the **coordinator** divides and follows the work, **workers** carry out assigned tasks, and **advisors** help evaluate decisions. You can also write a **Custom** role.

## Create an agent

1.  Open **LLM › Agents** and click **Create agent**.
2.  Under **Connection**, pick one in **Choose a connection**. If none is ready, click **Connect an account or model first**.
3.  Give it a **Name** and say **What is it for?**.
4.  Tick **What it may do** (see the table).
5.  Optionally pick a **Skill (optional)**.
6.  Click **Create agent**.

| Option | What it does | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Personal memory** | The agent remembers things about you. | On |
| **Web search** | The agent can search the web. | Off |
| **Reading companion** | Helps with what you read; also turns on **Web search**. | Off |
| **Project code** | Access to code and the shell in a project. | Off |
| **Delegate to other bots** | Can hand work to other agents. | Off |
| **Memory** (under **Advanced details**) | **Remember on its own**, **Ask before saving** or **Only recall, never save**. | **Remember on its own** |

An agent gets no code or shell access unless you tick it.

### Full editor

**Configure model, fallback and permissions manually** (or **Advanced settings (model, tools, budget)** on an existing agent) opens the full editor in three steps:

1.  **Name and purpose**: **Name**, **Role** and **What should this agent do?** (its instructions).
2.  **Connection and model**: **Fixed** uses one model; **Route** tries a list of candidates in order (**Add candidate**).
3.  **Review before saving**, with **Tools and limits**:
    -   **Tools**: each tool is **auto** (runs without asking), **ask** (waits for you) or **deny**. MCP tools are set in **Permissions** ([MCP servers you use](https://getomniget.com/docs/mcp-client)).
    -   **Skills**: which installed skills the agent can open.
    -   **Budget**: **USD per day**, **Tokens per turn** and **Tool calls per turn**.

**Delete** removes the agent and its settings. Saved conversations stay readable, but you cannot continue them without an agent.

### Team templates

**Team templates** adds a preset group of agents. **Preview team** shows what it adds; **Apply** never replaces an agent you already have with the same identifier.

## Memory

**Memory** shows what your agents remember about you, where each item came from, and how to fix or forget it. Memory is stored on your computer.

There are three scopes:

-   **Your profile**: shared by your personal agents in direct conversations. Rooms only see it if you share it.
-   **Private notes of** an agent: only that agent reads them.
-   **Room** notes: shared by the members of that room only.

To add something, click **Add**, type **What should be remembered?** and choose the **Kind**: **Stated by you**, **Only for now** or **Working notes**. On each item:

-   **Edit** (the old version stays in **History**).
-   **Why is this here?** shows the source.
-   **Forget** removes it and all its versions.
-   For guesses, **Yes, that’s right** or **Not right**.

The panel about what memory learns has **Learn from conversations on its own**, **Keep a note about each person and thing**, **Turn on search by meaning**, **Search memory** and **Teach from a text**. You can also **Export readable (Markdown)**, **Export for import (JSON)** and **Import an export…**.

## Skills

Skills follow the `SKILL.md` format: a folder with instructions the agent opens only when it needs them.

1.  Open **LLM › Agents › Skills** and click **Install a skill**.
2.  Choose **From a folder** (the folder is copied, not linked), **From a zip** or **From a git repository**.
3.  After the install, click **Assign to an agent**.

The **Explore** tab has **Install from GitHub** (`owner/repo`, `owner/repo/path` or `owner/repo@skill`) and a small showcase catalog. **Import from a pack** lets you pick skills, agents, rules or commands item by item from a folder.

Warning

OmniGet scans a skill before installing only if the `skillspector` scanner is installed. Without it, skills are installed without a security scan. Read a skill’s source before you install it.

## Common problems

### An agent does not answer

It has no working connection. Open the agent’s editor and check **Connection and model**, or add a connection in **LLM › Configure › Connections**.

### Applying a team template fails

In this release, **Duo** and **Research squad** show a save error instead of adding agents, and **Solo** adds nothing when Omni is already on the team. Create the agents by hand with **Create agent**.
