What an Agent contains
Each Agent holds:- Conversations and session history — the running record of what you have asked and discussed
- A Profile — the Agent’s identity, style, and how it works for you
- Portfolios — the portfolios this Agent runs, each with its own positions, cash, orders, and performance
- Playbooks — the investment strategy behind each portfolio
- Generated research files — reports and briefs the Agent has produced
- Scheduled tasks — recurring workflows the Agent runs on its own
- Channel connections — web, mobile, Telegram, WeChat
When to create multiple Agents
Create separate Agents when two jobs should not share assumptions. The test is simple: if combining them into one workspace would muddy the context or make a scheduled task ambiguous, split them; if they naturally share the same universe and rules, keep them together. For concrete starting patterns and how to set one up, see Create your first Agent.Good Agent instructions
An Agent’s standing instructions should describe stable preferences, the things that are true across every conversation:Profile, portfolios, and Playbooks
These three fit together. The Agent’s Profile sets the Agent’s identity and style, and applies across everything it does. Each portfolio the Agent runs carries its own Playbook — the strategy that drives that portfolio’s universe, risk rules, and trading. The Profile is Agent-wide; a Playbook is per portfolio.Related
