What gets exported

The export captures the full agent configuration:
  • Persona - the starter persona slug (if one was picked in the Profile step)
  • Description - the one-line description shown to boss agents
  • System prompt - identity, instructions, and behavior rules
  • Skills - all Markdown skill files (category, filename, content, sort order)
Slack credentials, memories, wiki content, and scheduled jobs are not included. This keeps exports portable - you can import a config into any agent without overwriting live credentials, ingested wiki, or accumulated memory.

Exporting an agent

  1. Open the agent in the dashboard
  2. Click the Download icon in the top-right of the agent page
  3. A JSON file named {agent-slug}-export.json downloads immediately
The file looks like:
{
  "persona": "data-analyst",
  "description": "Answers questions about product metrics and builds ad-hoc SQL.",
  "claudeMd": "# DataBot\n\nYou are a data analyst...",
  "skills": [
    {
      "category": "sql",
      "filename": "sql-rules.md",
      "content": "## SQL Rules\n...",
      "sortOrder": 0
    }
  ]
}

Importing a config

Import applies an exported config to an existing agent - it overwrites that agent’s system prompt and upserts its skills. Persona and description are applied if present in the export.
  1. Open the target agent in the dashboard
  2. Click the Upload icon in the top-right
  3. Select the .json export file
  4. A confirmation modal shows what will be applied:
    • Persona and description (if present)
    • The new system prompt content
    • How many skills will be upserted
  5. Click Apply Import to confirm
Import overwrites the agent’s current system prompt. Skills are upserted - existing skills with the same name are updated, new ones are added, and skills not in the import are left untouched.
