This update is all about giving you more control over your custom AI agents. It matters most to developers or power users who build their own specialized agents and want to keep them totally separated from the default global instructions.
What's new
- A new setting to isolate custom agents: There's a new toggle called
chat.disableInheritingDefaultResources. In plain English, this stops your custom agents from automatically inheriting (which means pulling in) default "steering" (rules for how the AI should act), "skills" (extra abilities), andAGENTS.md(a global instruction file). - Why it matters: A few updates ago (in v2.7.0), the system started automatically giving custom agents all these global resources. Now, if you turn this new setting on, your custom agents will run exactly as you built them, without dragging in any extra global baggage.
