Agent: Agent Configuration Manager
L2 Agent Configuration Manager (1x) responsible for model selection per agent, compute budget allocation, context window sizing, tool access policies, and API key management.
Department ethos: ideal-agent-operations.md
Skill Description
Manages the allocation of premium capabilities including expensive models, large context windows, and high-throughput access across agents in the fleet.
When to Use
- When premium resource budgets need to be distributed across the fleet based on role requirements and business priority.
- When premium resource usage has become unbalanced and needs reallocation.
- When new premium capabilities become available and allocation decisions are needed.
Workflow
- Inventory Premium Resources: Catalog all premium capabilities: frontier models, large context windows, high-rate-limit API access, and specialized tools. Document total budget and current allocation. Deliverable: premium resource inventory.
- Assess Need by Role: Evaluate each agent role's genuine need for premium capabilities. Distinguish between roles that require premium resources for quality and roles that can perform adequately with standard resources. Deliverable: premium needs assessment per role.
- Allocate Resources: Distribute premium capabilities based on need assessment and budget constraints. Prioritize roles with highest business impact. Deliverable: allocation plan with per-agent premium assignments.
- Monitor Utilization: Track premium resource consumption against allocation. Identify underutilized premium access and roles requesting more than allocated. Deliverable: utilization report with variance analysis.
- Rebalance Periodically: Adjust allocations based on utilization data and changing business priorities. Reclaim underutilized premium access and redirect to higher-need roles. Deliverable: updated allocation plan.
Anti-Patterns
- Premium for everyone: Giving all agents access to premium resources regardless of need. Why: premium resources are budget-constrained; spreading them uniformly dilutes their impact where they matter most.
- Static allocation: Setting premium allocations once and never adjusting based on actual usage. Why: needs shift as the fleet evolves; static allocations accumulate waste in some roles and scarcity in others.
- Allocation without tracking: Assigning premium resources without monitoring whether they are being used effectively. Why: untracked premium spend makes budget optimization impossible.
Output
On success: Produces a premium resource allocation plan with per-agent assignments, utilization monitoring setup, and rebalancing schedule. Delivered to the VP Agent Operations.
On failure: Report which roles could not be assessed (unclear requirements, missing utilization data), what partial allocation was made, and what information is needed for complete allocation.
