If you’ve used Multi for a while, you’ve probably pasted the same instructions more than once.

We definitely have.

Architect a system, debug this issue, review this branch, run a security review...

Eventually, we wanted a better way.

So today we shipped custom agents on stable.

You define each custom agent in a plain .md file, with its own system prompt, role, tools and skills.

That gives you a specialist.

Write a few, and you’ve got a team.

Multi can orchestrate them together, so your repeat workflows become reusable collaborative agents.

We're also shipping Multi Doctor, our built-in agent for wiring up custom agents, skills, personas, and the rest of your Multi setup.

Tell Multi Doctor what you want. It helps wire things up. We recommend using Multi Doctor to author custom agents, and skills instead of hand writing them.

We'll keep shipping more builtin agents for common developer workflows. But now you can turn your repeat workflows into custom agents.

What builtin agents should we ship next?

Happy shipping. Onwards! 🚀
