Agents are the core of Palmier - intelligent workers that execute your tasks with precision and expertise. Well-configured agents can transform your workflow from productive to extraordinary.

​
Default Agents

Palmier comes with four pre-configured agents, each specialized for different aspects of software development:

  1. Bug Fix Agent - Specialized in identifying and fixing bugs in code
  2. Feature Implementation Agent - Expert at implementing new features and functionality
  3. Design Agent - Specialized in drafting design documents for bigger tasks
  4. Code Review Agent - Thorough code reviewer focusing on quality and best practices

These agents provide a solid foundation, but they’re just the beginning of what’s possible.

​
Creating Custom Agents

You can create your own agents in two ways:

  • Use the dropdown menu on the home page
  • Navigate to the agents tab in the sidebar

​
Agent Configuration

When creating an agent, you have two options:

Clone an Existing Agent: Start with a pre-built agent and modify its instructions to suit your specific needs.

Create from Scratch: Build a completely new agent tailored to your unique requirements.

Each agent must have a unique name - no two agents can share the same identifier.

​
Writing Effective Instructions

The instructions are the heart of your agent. They define what the agent should do and how it should behave.

Start with a basic outline of your instructions, then use our AI Prompt Enhancer to refine them. This ensures your instructions follow best practices from leading AI model providers and are robust enough for complex tasks.

​
Available Tools

Each agent can be equipped with a selection of tools to perform its tasks. Choose from these core capabilities:

  • Bash Terminal - Execute bash commands and system operations
  • Web Search - Search the web for information and documentation
  • Design Creator - Create design documents and architectural plans
  • Expert Consultation - Consult with advanced models for specialized knowledge
  • Question Assistant - Ask users for clarification or additional information
  • Code Editor - Advanced code editing and modification capabilities

​
Extending with MCPs

Beyond these core tools, you can dramatically expand your agent’s capabilities through Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations. MCPs allow your agents to connect with hundreds of external applications and services your team already uses.

This means your agents can do more than just write code - they can integrate directly with your existing workflow tools, databases, APIs, and business applications.
