Manage octo's agent profiles through conversation — create, modify, delete, list, and bind agents to IM chats by calling REST APIs. This skill is exclusive to the Default Agent (full-access). Use when the user wants to manage agents conversationally, e.g. "create a code review agent", "list all agents", "bind agent X to this group", "delete agent Y", "创建一个专家", "帮我建个专家", "管理专家", "编辑专家", "删除专家", "专家列表", "把专家 X 绑定到这个群".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Manage Agent Profiles

## Terminology

When conversing in Chinese, refer to this concept as **专家** (not 智能体, and
not a bare "agent") — this matches the desktop/web UI's Chinese labels
(创建专家 / 编辑专家 / 删除专家). English conversations keep "agent". This is
a conversational naming convention only — API fields, IDs, and code
identifiers (`agent_id`, `/api/agents`, etc.) are unaffected.

octo's multi-agent system lets users define **agent profiles** — each with its
own system prompt, model, tool allowlist, and IM chat bindings. User-created
profiles are stored as Markdown files in `~/.octo/agents/<id>.md` (body =
system prompt, YAML frontmatter = metadata).

This skill manages profiles by calling the REST API on the running octo
server. It is **only available to the Default Agent** — expert agents cannot
create or modify profiles (they can only enable/disable from their own
allowlist).

### Curated vs. user-created experts

`GET`/`POST`/`PUT`/`DELETE` on `/api/agents` see two kinds of profile,
distinguished by a `source` field on every response:

- **`"source": "user"`** — created via this skill (the Web UI's create and
  edit buttons open a session running it) or by hand, stored in
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add open-octo/octo-agent/expert-agent-manager@sha256:e36ccbed873f9f99

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.b98ea0b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
