Default agent profile
An agent profile is a preset configuration of model and thinking level. When you create a new task, the selected profile’s settings are used as the defaults. Choose from:| Profile | Best for | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Auto (Optimized) | A sensible default — uses Opus across all phases with optimized thinking levels. | Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context), High Thinking |
| Complex Tasks | Intricate, multi-step implementations needing deep analysis. | Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context), High Thinking |
| Balanced | A good balance of speed and quality for most tasks. | Claude Sonnet 4.6, Medium Thinking |
| Quick Edits | Fast iterations for simple changes and quick fixes. | Claude Haiku 4.5, Low Thinking |
Whatever profile you choose only sets the defaults for new tasks. You can override the model and thinking level for any individual task in the task creation wizard.
Phase configuration
Beyond the profile, you can customize the model and thinking level for each phase of a task independently:- Spec Creation — discovery, requirements, and context gathering.
- Planning — implementation planning and architecture.
- Coding — the actual code implementation.
- QA Review — quality assurance and validation.
Other agent settings
Additional configuration for how agents work:- Agent Framework — the coding framework used for autonomous tasks.
- AI Terminal Naming — automatically names terminals based on the commands run (uses Haiku).
Feature model settings
Several features run their own AI, and you can set the model and thinking level for each one separately:| Feature | What it does | Model / Thinking |
|---|---|---|
| Insights Chat | Ask questions about your codebase. | Claude Sonnet 4.6 / Medium |
| Ideation | Generate feature ideas and improvements. | Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) / High |
| Roadmap | Create strategic feature roadmaps. | Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) / High |
| GitHub Issues | Automated issue triage and labeling. | Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) / Medium |
| GitHub PR Review | AI-powered pull request reviews. | Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) / Medium |
| Utility | Commit messages and merge-conflict resolution. | Claude Haiku 4.5 / Low |
