# Managed Agent Configs & Skills

> Save a managed agent's setup once and reuse it, and give agents access to Arize, GitHub, Dynatrace, Datadog, and custom skills.

Managed agents are agents Arize AX hosts for you. They investigate traces, run on a schedule, and open pull requests. Two settings control how they run. A managed agent config saves an agent's setup so you can reuse it across agents and automations, and a skill gives an agent access to an outside system such as GitHub or Datadog. See [Build your own agent](/docs/ax/agents/build-your-own-agent.md) and [Connect your harness](/docs/ax/agents/connect-your-harness.md).

## Managed agent configs

A config saves your harness, AI provider, model, agent role, sandbox, repository, and skills, and you can reuse it whenever you configure a managed agent or automation. Configs are managed under **Settings → Space Settings → Managed Agent Configs**.

To create a config:

1. Go to **Settings → Space Settings → Managed Agent Configs** and open **New Agent Config**.
2. Enter a **Name** and select the **Harness**, **AI Provider**, **Model**, **Agent role**, and **Sandbox**.
3. Add a **System prompt** if you want. The limit is 100,000 characters.
4. Click **Create Agent Config**.

## Skills

Skills give agents access to Arize traces, Dynatrace or Datadog metrics and logs, GitHub repositories, or custom skills, and an agent gets that access only when the skill is attached to its config. Skills are managed under **Settings → Space Settings → Skills**, where the skill types are **GitHub**, **Arize**, **Dynatrace**, **Datadog**, and **Custom Skill**.
