Bots

Bots are reusable specialist profiles. They capture the standing instructions and launch choices worth repeating without turning a previous transcript into a template.

What a Bot stores

A Bot can include:

• name and specialist role;
• standing instructions;
• project or global scope;
• coding-agent adapter;
• model and reasoning effort when supported; and
• launch defaults used to create a new structured session.

Each launch records an immutable snapshot. Editing the Bot later changes future launches, not the identity or configuration of sessions already running.

Create a Bot

1. Open Bots from the sidebar.
2. Choose New Bot.
3. Give the profile a focused role and instructions.
4. Select global scope for reuse across projects, or project scope for context that only belongs to the current repository.
5. Choose a verified adapter and its launch defaults.
6. Save the profile.

Keep standing instructions narrow enough that the Bot has a recognizable job. Project-specific constraints belong in a project Bot or the Plan task contract, not in an unrelated global profile.

Start and manage Bots

Select a project, open the Bot, and choose Start in Work. wheeljack creates a new structured agent pane using the saved profile and current snapshot.

You can edit or delete a saved Bot without terminating sessions launched from it. Deleting a profile removes the reusable definition; existing transcripts and task evidence keep their launch snapshot.

Save from an agent

If a live agent configuration proves useful, open its pane menu and save it as a Bot. Review the proposed name, scope, role, and instructions rather than storing temporary task text as a permanent specialist.
