Agent Profiles

Agent Profiles are presets for how Row-Bot should act. A profile can change tone, tool availability, skill hints, approval posture, and specialist behavior. Use them when the same app needs to behave differently for research, coding, planning, design, or careful local-only work.

Where To Find Profiles​

Open the Agent profiles area in the left sidebar, or use the profile control in a chat header when it is visible. The dialog lets you choose a profile for the current thread and inspect available built-in profiles.

What The Profile Dialog Does​

  • Profile list shows available built-in and local profiles.
  • Selected profile is the behavior Row-Bot will use for the current thread or new specialist run.
  • Description explains what the profile is optimized for.
  • Tools and skills indicate which capabilities the profile may prefer or restrict.
  • Default behavior explains whether the profile is meant for general chat, Agent Mode, Developer work, Designer work, or controlled tasks.
  • Save or apply records the choice for the current thread when the dialog offers it.

Practical Examples​

  • Use a research-style profile for web and document synthesis.
  • Use a coding profile inside Developer Studio so Row-Bot pays attention to files, commands, tests, and change review.
  • Use a cautious profile when you want more approvals and less external activity.
  • Use a design profile when you are working in Designer Studio and want visual output iteration.

What Is Saved​

Profile selection can be saved on a thread, so future turns keep the same behavior. Built-in profile definitions are part of Row-Bot; local custom profiles are stored in local app data when supported.

Privacy And Safety​

A profile can influence which tools Row-Bot prefers, but it does not bypass approvals. If a profile enables broader tool use, review approval prompts before allowing file writes, browser actions, shell commands, account actions, MCP calls, plugin tools, or channel sends.

Troubleshooting​

  • If Row-Bot behaves too narrowly, switch back to a general profile.
  • If a tool is unavailable, check both the profile and the related Settings tab.
  • If a profile choice does not stick, confirm you applied it to the active thread.
