Add Agent

Provision a new agent into the fleet: pick what it's for, pick the model that runs it, grant its capabilities, and name it. The review rail resolves the lowest capable-cost model for the work — the same capability→cost resolver the Agent Manager uses — so you never over-pay for a task a cheaper model clears.

1 Role / specialty what will this agent do?

Owner seat
Designs, plans, reviews a product lane. One per product.
Crew · coder
Implements approved plans; writes code + deterministic tests.
Specialist · tester
Executes test scenarios, captures evidence. Never tests own code.
Workflow agent
Runs a defined workflow (e.g. email_organize) on a schedule.

2 Model envelope + cost shown — cheaper isn't always eligible

3 Capabilities what this agent is allowed to do

narrow code edits run deterministic tests git commit + push design / plan review deploy (Tier-3) schema / DDL (Tier-3) Playwright / UI test KB extraction A2A messaging

Capabilities set the authority envelope. Tier-3 grants (deploy, DDL) require an owner's approval before they take effect — they show here but stay pending until signed off.

4 Name & placement

Lowercase, family + number. The -N suffix is assigned automatically — an ID never changes once provisioned.
Adds a row to project_role_pools (project × role × priority) — the source of truth for eligibility.
