CC Agents
Overview
CC Agents allow you to create specialized AI assistants with custom system prompts, behaviors, and security profiles. Build a library of purpose-built agents for different development tasks and execute them in secure, sandboxed environments.
Custom AI Agents
Design and configure AI agents tailored to specific tasks and workflows:
- Custom System Prompts: Define how your agent behaves and responds
- Specialized Behaviors: Create agents for specific domains (frontend, backend, testing, etc.)
- Model Selection: Choose the appropriate Claude model for each agent
- Personality Configuration: Set tone, style, and interaction patterns
Agent Configuration
Each agent can be customized with:
- Name & Icon: Visual identification for easy recognition
- System Prompt: Core instructions that define the agent's behavior
- Model Settings: Choose between available Claude models (Claude-3.5-Sonnet, Claude-3-Haiku, etc.)
- Sandbox Profile: Security restrictions and permissions
- Execution Parameters: Timeout settings, resource limits, and performance options
Agent Library
Build and maintain a collection of specialized agents for different development scenarios:
- Categorized Organization: Group agents by purpose (Web Dev, Data Analysis, DevOps, etc.)
- Version Management: Track different versions of your agents
- Import/Export: Share agents with team members or across systems
- Templates: Start with pre-built agent templates for common use cases
Pre-built Agent Templates
- Full-Stack Developer: General web development assistance
- Code Reviewer: Focused on code quality and best practices
- Bug Hunter: Specialized in finding and fixing issues
- Documentation Writer: Expert at creating clear documentation
- Performance Optimizer: Focused on code and system performance
- Security Auditor: Specialized in security analysis and recommendations
Secure Execution
Run agents in controlled environments with comprehensive security measures:
- Sandboxed Environments: Isolated execution prevents system interference
- Fine-grained Permissions: Control exactly what each agent can access
- Resource Limits: Set CPU, memory, and time constraints
- Network Isolation: Control internet and network access per agent
Security Features
- Permission Profiles: Reusable security configurations
- Access Control Lists: Define what files, directories, and commands agents can use
- Execution Monitoring: Real-time tracking of agent activities
- Violation Detection: Immediate alerts when agents exceed permissions
Execution History
Track and analyze all agent runs with detailed logging and performance metrics:
- Detailed Logs: Complete record of agent actions and decisions
- Performance Metrics: Execution time, resource usage, and efficiency data
- Success/Failure Tracking: Monitor agent effectiveness over time
- Output Analysis: Review agent results and recommendations
History Features
- Session Recordings: Complete transcripts of agent interactions
- Performance Analytics: Charts and metrics showing agent performance trends
- Error Tracking: Detailed logs of failures and their causes
- Comparison Tools: Compare different agent runs and configurations
Creating Your First Agent
Step-by-Step Guide
- Navigate to CC Agents: Choose "CC Agents" from the main menu
- Create New Agent: Click "Create Agent" button
- Configure Agent: Set name, icon, and system prompt
- Choose Model: Select the appropriate Claude model
- Set Security Profile: Apply sandbox restrictions
- Test & Execute: Run your agent on a project
Example Agent Creation
Agent Name: "React Component Builder"
Icon: ⚛️
System Prompt: "You are a React expert specializing in creating
reusable, accessible components following modern best practices..."
Model: Claude-3.5-Sonnet
Sandbox: Frontend Development Profile
Agent Execution Workflow
Running an Agent
- Select Agent: Choose from your agent library
- Choose Target: Select the project to work on
- Set Parameters: Configure execution settings
- Monitor Progress: Watch real-time execution
- Review Results: Analyze output and recommendations
Execution Modes
- Interactive Mode: Collaborate with the agent in real-time
- Batch Mode: Let the agent work independently
- Supervised Mode: Approve each action before execution
- Analysis Mode: Agent reviews and reports without making changes
Best Practices
Agent Design
- Single Purpose: Create focused agents for specific tasks
- Clear Instructions: Write detailed, unambiguous system prompts
- Appropriate Models: Match model capabilities to agent requirements
- Security First: Always use the minimum necessary permissions
Library Management
- Consistent Naming: Use clear, descriptive names for agents
- Regular Updates: Keep agent prompts current with best practices
- Version Control: Track changes to agent configurations
- Documentation: Document each agent's purpose and usage
Security Guidelines
- Principle of Least Privilege: Grant only necessary permissions
- Regular Audits: Review agent permissions periodically
- Sandbox Testing: Test new agents in restricted environments first
- Monitor Activity: Keep track of what agents are doing
Advanced Features
Agent Chaining
Link multiple agents together for complex workflows:
- Sequential Execution: Run agents in a specific order
- Conditional Logic: Execute agents based on previous results
- Parallel Processing: Run multiple agents simultaneously
- Result Aggregation: Combine outputs from multiple agents
Custom Integrations
Extend agent capabilities with custom tools and integrations:
- API Connections: Connect agents to external services
- Custom Tools: Add specialized functionality
- Webhook Support: Trigger agents from external events
- Database Integration: Connect to data sources
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Agent Won't Execute
- Check sandbox permissions
- Verify model availability
- Review system prompt syntax
- Check resource limits
Poor Agent Performance
- Refine system prompt
- Adjust model selection
- Optimize execution parameters
- Review historical performance data
Security Violations
- Review permission settings
- Check sandbox configuration
- Audit agent behavior logs
- Adjust security profile
