# Agents

An Agent is one teammate: a saved profile with its own instructions, model, memory, connections, repositories, skills, schedules, and channel grants. Nothing is shared between Agents unless you grant it twice.

- **What an Agent is** — Every part an Agent owns, who may edit it, and what it never shares. [Read it](/agents/agents).
- **Create an Agent** — Create an Agent from Slack, Admin, or MCP, then prove its handle answers. [Read it](/agents/create-an-agent).
- **Instructions** — The saved text that defines an Agent, and the one thing it can authorize. [Read it](/agents/instructions).
- **Models and providers** — Four providers, where keys live, and how a turn resolves to one model. [Read it](/agents/models-and-providers).
- **Connections** — Team and personal accounts, how one is chosen on a turn, and what disconnecting removes. [Read it](/agents/connections).
- **Connect a service** — Attach an account to an Agent from Admin or Slack, then verify it. [Read it](/agents/connect-a-service).
- **Managed connectors through Composio** — Opt in with one Composio project key, connect a managed account, and keep it healthy. [Read it](/agents/managed-connectors).
- **Repositories** — Install the Chickpea GitHub App and grant repositories to an Agent. [Read it](/agents/repositories).
- **Skills** — What a skill holds, where imports come from, and what they deliberately leave behind. [Read it](/agents/skills).
- **Memory** — One durable body per Agent: what it shapes, what it can never decide. [Read it](/agents/memory).
- **Schedules** — Unattended work an Agent runs later, who it runs as, and what every run rechecks. [Read it](/agents/schedules).
- **Coding sandbox** — Install the optional Cloudflare container so an Agent can clone, install, and run code. [Read it](/agents/coding-sandbox).
