# Agents

Specialist sub-agents with their own context window, tools, and system prompt.

import { Card, Cards } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/card';

Agents run as separate sub-processes with an isolated context budget. Use one when a task needs its own working memory or a narrower tool set than the main loop.
