Agent Config

Use this skill before calling write_agent_configs.

Workflow

1. Call list_agent_configs first. It returns user, workspace, and effective Agent page settings in one response.
2. Use write_agent_configs only for Agent page settings. Do not edit config.toml files directly.
3. Always set scope explicitly to user or workspace. Use the scope requested by the user or shown by the current Agents page context.
4. Preserve fields not requested by the user. For updates, copy the existing override from list_agent_configs, change only the requested fields, then send the complete replacement override.
5. Delete or disable SubAgents only after the user clearly asked for it.

Supported Operations

• set_agent_override: replace one Agent override in the selected layer.
  • agent: default, ide, interactive_story, config_manager, interactive_state, interactive_hot_choices, version_summary, tool_agent, automation, or context_compaction.
  • Optional replacement sections: model, tools, prompt, skills, context.
• set_general_sub_agent: set or inherit the built-in General SubAgent switch.
  • agent: default, ide, interactive_story, config_manager, or automation.
  • enabled: true or false; omit/null to inherit.
• upsert_sub_agent: create or replace one custom SubAgent in the selected layer.
  • Provide a complete sub_agent with id, description, and system_prompt.
  • Use enabled: false with the same id to shadow an inherited SubAgent.
• delete_sub_agent: remove one custom SubAgent from the selected layer only.
  • This does not delete SubAgents inherited from another layer.

Field Notes

• agent_config_read and agent_config_write are only meaningful for the Config Manager Agent and its configured SubAgents.
• A SubAgent cannot gain tools disabled on its parent Agent. Tool settings are upper bounds, not grants beyond the parent.
• model.profile_id must reference an existing model profile or be empty to inherit. This skill does not create model profiles.
• prompt.flow_prompt changes Denova flow rules for an Agent. prompt.system_prompt adds user custom rules. Neither can override runtime contracts, output protocols, tool permissions, or backend validation.
• Context compaction fields are ratios, not percentages: use 0.9 for 90%.

Safe Defaults

• Use workspace scope for book-specific Agent behavior and user scope for personal defaults across books.
• Prefer disabling one tool or one Skill over rewriting a full Agent prompt when the user asks for a capability boundary.
• Prefer a focused custom SubAgent with narrow tools over broad changes to the parent Agent.
