Roles
A role tells an agent what kind of work it’s there for. NeuroSquad has ready-made roles — Reviewer, Tester, Researcher, Architect, Writer — or Custom, where you describe the role in your own words.
1/5In the add menu choose New agent… (provider, model, role). Pick the Harness: Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode or Qwen Code.
Give a role
- When creating an agent — pick a role in the New agent dialog. It’s typed into the new agent as its first prompt; press Enter in its terminal to send it.
- To an agent that’s already running — choose Role in its ⋯ menu, pick one and press Send role.
The role is sent once, as a normal prompt you can see. NeuroSquad never changes or re-sends it behind your back. The card shows the role next to the agent’s name.
Good for: a squad where each agent has a clear job — one writes the code, one tests it, one reviews it.
