Agent configuration
Complete reference for all eight agent settings tabs and their fields.
Every agent in Hyperagent has eight configuration tabs. This page documents every tab and its fields.
Overview
The landing tab when you open agent settings. Displays a summary view of the agent.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Agent name | Display name (read-only here; editable in Identity tab) |
| Description | Short summary of the agent's purpose (read-only here) |
| Thread count | Number of threads this agent has participated in |
| Last active | Timestamp of the most recent activity |
| Created date | When the agent was first created |
Identity
Everything that defines who this agent is. The system prompt lives here alongside the name, not as a separate concept.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The agent's display name. Shown in agent picker, sidebar, and thread headers. |
| Icon | Visual identifier. Choose from built-in icons or emoji. |
| Description | A short summary of the agent's role and purpose. Shown in the agent picker when selecting an agent for a thread. |
| System Prompt | The detailed instruction set that shapes the agent's behavior. This is the "job description." Write what the agent should do, how it should think, what format to use, what to avoid. There is no length limit, but focused prompts work better than sprawling ones. |
Activity
A timeline of the agent's usage history.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Recent threads | List of threads the agent has participated in, sorted by recency |
| Usage frequency | How often the agent is used over time |
| Invocation history | Log of how the agent was triggered (thread, Slack, scheduled, etc.) |
Model
Controls the underlying AI model and its behavior settings.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Model ID | Which AI model to use (e.g., Claude Opus, Claude Sonnet). Different models have different capabilities, speeds, and costs. |
| Effort level | How much processing effort the model applies. Higher effort produces more thorough results but takes longer and costs more. |
| Thinking tokens | Whether the model should use extended reasoning. When enabled, the model "thinks" before responding, improving quality for complex tasks. |
| Budget | Maximum token spend per response or per run. Prevents runaway costs on complex or recursive tasks. |
| Subagent model | The model used when the agent delegates work to a subagent. Often set to a faster/cheaper model than the main agent. |
Invocations
All seven trigger methods plus Live Mode configuration.
| Invocation Type | Description | Stateful? |
|---|---|---|
| Thread | Default. Open a thread and select the agent. | Per thread |
| Slack | Agent responds to @mentions in connected Slack channels. | Per thread |
| Telegram | Agent paired with a Telegram bot via BotFather. | Per thread |
| Scheduled | Cron-based timer. Each run creates a new thread. Configure schedule, timezone, prompt, and delivery channel. | No (new thread) |
| Webhook / API | HTTP POST endpoint. Each request creates a new thread. Returns an endpoint URL and auth token. | No (new thread) |
| Dedicated email address. Incoming emails trigger runs. Subject + body become the prompt. | No (new thread) | |
| Live Mode | Interval-based with a checklist. Stays in the same thread. Silent by default; speaks up when something changes. | Yes (same thread) |
Coming soon: SMS and MCP Server.
