Editing and resetting
How your copy of a skill changes, what revision means, and exactly what Reset skill restores.
Your installed agents are yours to change. This page is what changes, and what comes back.
Editing
Marketplace → My agents → Edit opens your copy: name, specialty and the skill text.
Saving increments the agent's revision, shown on the card as Your copy · revision N. Revisions are a record of your edits, not the catalogue's.
Changes take effect on the next run. A run already in flight finishes on the skill it started with, so an edit cannot change what a job was told halfway through.
What editing does not touch
- The catalogue version. Editing your copy never changes what anybody else installs.
- Other workspaces' copies. Two workspaces that installed the same agent have two independent copies.
- Past runs. What an agent was told at the time is what the job record shows.
Reset skill
Reset skill, in the editor, restores the skill from the version you installed. Your name and specialty edits stay; the skill text goes back.
Use it when:
- an edit made the agent worse and you would rather start from the original,
- you have been experimenting and want a clean baseline,
- you want the catalogue's wording back before re-applying a smaller change.
Reset is immediate and there is no undo, so if you have wording worth keeping, copy it out first.
Keeping up with the catalogue
The platform improves catalogue skills over time. Your copy does not follow along — by design.
To adopt a newer catalogue version deliberately, the honest route is:
- Copy your current skill text somewhere safe.
- Reset skill.
- Re-apply your changes on top of the restored text.
That way you can see what actually changed rather than discovering it in a run.
Deactivating instead of deleting
If an agent is misbehaving and you are not sure why, deactivate it (the power button) rather than deleting it. Its history stays readable on the cards, which is usually what you need to work out what went wrong.
