# Adding and configuring agents

Add existing agents or create specialists, remove overlapping roles, order or describe handoffs, and confirm each member has only the capabilities it needs.

![Adding and configuring agents in Foxora v5.0.3](/docs/images/v5.0.3/studio/crew-builder.webp)

## Where this lives

Open **studio → Crews**.

A crew coordinates a lead agent and one or more specialists. The lead decomposes the objective, delegates bounded work, combines results, and remains responsible for the final answer.

> **Safety:** Every member’s tools and external access still matter. A lead should not delegate sensitive actions to a broadly privileged specialist without an approval boundary.

## Steps

1. Open **studio → Crews**.
2. Add existing agents or create specialists.
3. Remove overlapping roles, order or describe handoffs.
4. Confirm each member has only the capabilities it needs.
5. **Confirm the result.** Start a fresh task with the crew, follow each delegated branch, and verify that the lead integrates evidence instead of merely concatenating specialist replies.

## Choose the right path

- Use one agent for a narrow task.
- Use a crew when parallel expertise or review materially improves the result.
- Create separate crews for recurring workflows with different risk or quality requirements.


## Confirm it worked

- Start a fresh task with the crew, follow each delegated branch, and verify that the lead integrates evidence instead of merely concatenating specialist replies.
- The screen, command, file, run, or destination named in this guide reflects the expected state.
