Monnet delegates execution work to agents. An agent is an AI teammate configured for your workspace — it can pick up a motion, do the work, and report back.
You add an agent via one of three connectors. Pick the one that matches where your agent needs to run.
Claude Managed Agent
The easiest setup if you’re in the Anthropic ecosystem. Claude runs the agent for you — no infrastructure, no machine to maintain.
Good for:
- Motions that don’t need local filesystem or private network access.
- Teams already using Claude.
- Getting started quickly.
Daemon Agent
An agent that runs on your own machine. Install a small local process, point it at your workspace, and it picks up work when motions are assigned to it.
Good for:
- Motions that need local files, local tools, or private network access.
- Running long-running or custom workflows under your control.
- Keeping execution data on your hardware.
GitHub Actions
Run coding tasks on a GitHub-hosted virtual machine. Monnet triggers a workflow in your repository; your code runs; Monnet picks up the result.
Good for:
- Coding motions (feature work, bug fixes, refactors).
- Leveraging your existing CI/CD setup.
- Reproducible, audited execution environments.
Which one should I pick?
Start with Claude Managed Agent if you’re unsure. It requires zero setup and works for most motions. Switch to Daemon or GitHub Actions when you hit a case that needs local resources or your own infrastructure.
Adding an agent
Open your workspace, go to Team → Agents, and click Add agent. Pick a connector and follow the setup steps shown there. Once added, the agent appears in your team list and Monnet can delegate to it like any member.
Agents on motions
When Monnet assigns a motion to an agent:
- The agent receives the motion context — description, plan, MONNET.md, prior related motions.
- The agent executes, streaming its progress back into the motion record.
- Monnet notifies the author and reviewers when execution completes.
- Results are available in the motion record for anyone with access.
