| description | Create a new ibl.ai agent from a template via the platform API — set name, display name, description, system prompt, and LLM provider; returns the new agent's unique id. Use when creating an agent from scratch, then configure it with the other /iblai-api-agent-* skills. |
iblai-api-agent-create
Create a brand-new agent from a template. This is the step before
configuring an agent: it mints a new agent and returns its unique_id, which
you then hand to the /iblai-api-agent-* skills (settings, llm, prompts,
datasets, …) to configure further. To duplicate an existing agent instead of
starting from a template, use /iblai-api-agent-setting (fork).
Auth & conventions
- Base URL:
https://api.iblai.app
- Header:
Authorization: Api-Token $IBLAI_API_KEY on every request.
- Path vars:
{org} = $IBLAI_ORG, {username} = $IBLAI_USERNAME.
- Not connected yet? Run
/iblai-api-login first to populate IBLAI_ORG,
IBLAI_USERNAME, and IBLAI_API_KEY.
Reads
- GET
https://api.iblai.app/dm/api/search/orgs/{org}/users/{username}/mentors/ — list existing agents in the org (useful to pick a fork source or confirm names are free).
- GET
https://api.iblai.app/dm/api/ai-mentor/orgs/{org}/users/{username}/mentor/categories/ — category options (to assign after creation via /iblai-api-agent-setting).
Writes
- POST
https://api.iblai.app/dm/api/ai-mentor/orgs/{org}/users/{username}/mentor-with-settings/ — create a new agent from a template (returns the created agent with its unique_id):
{
"template_name": "string (required, e.g. ai-mentor)",
"new_mentor_name": "string (required)",
"display_name": "string",
"description": "string",
"system_prompt": "string",
"llm_provider": "string"
}
Example
Create a data-science agent from the default ai-mentor template, then capture
its unique_id for follow-up configuration:
curl -X POST \
"https://api.iblai.app/dm/api/ai-mentor/orgs/$IBLAI_ORG/users/$IBLAI_USERNAME/mentor-with-settings/" \
-H "Authorization: Api-Token $IBLAI_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"template_name": "ai-mentor",
"new_mentor_name": "Data Science Tutor",
"description": "Helps users with statistics and Python."
}'
Notes
template_name defaults to ai-mentor on most orgs; the create call accepts
any template the org exposes.
- Creation is intentionally minimal — set only name + a couple of fields here,
then drive the rest with the focused skills:
/iblai-api-agent-setting,
/iblai-api-agent-llm, /iblai-api-agent-prompt, /iblai-api-agent-dataset,
/iblai-api-agent-tool, etc., using the returned unique_id as {mentor}.
- To copy an existing agent rather than start from a template, use the fork
endpoint in
/iblai-api-agent-setting.
- End-to-end example: the
iblai/quickstarts
Python client wraps these calls — create an agent, open a session, and chat with it
from a script (see also /iblai-api-agent-session for the chat transport).
