SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the complexity of managing octo agent profiles manually by letting the Default Agent create, update, delete, list, and bind experts through guided conversation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Profile Management: Create, inspect, modify, and delete user-created agent profiles with validation and confirmation safeguards.
  • Curated Expert Handling: Distinguish curated experts from user profiles, fork curated profiles when editing, and hide or restore curated experts safely.
  • IM Chat Bindings: Bind experts to supported Telegram, Discord, Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom, and WeChat conversations while respecting platform limitations.
  • Offline Fallbacks: Manage profiles through their Markdown files when no octo server is running, while explaining operations that still require the REST API.
  • Prompt Design Guidance: Develop robust system prompts using affirmation, denial, and anchor patterns, especially for restrictive agents.

Quick Start

Ask the Default Agent to create a code review expert with a focused system prompt, selected tools, and an optional model or chat binding.

How do I edit curated expert profiles safely?▼

To edit curated expert profiles safely, the system forks the curated profile before applying modifications. You can also hide or restore curated experts without permanently deleting the original curated configurations.

What access is required to create and modify agent profiles?▼
