# Experts

> Reusable agent configurations for engineering workflows like code review, incident response and ticket dispatch.

## Overview

An **Expert** is a reusable Cosmos agent configuration. It packages the workflow instructions, integrations, runtime environment, model, launch guidance, workers, and triggers that make a repeatable engineering workflow feel like a product surface instead of a one-off prompt.

Experts are the most powerful Cosmos concept. When one AI-forward engineer perfects an Expert and shares it with the organization, everyone can start standardized, high-quality agent sessions for that workflow. This lets the productivity gains from your most advanced agent users benefit the entire team.

## What an Expert includes

An Expert brings together everything Cosmos needs to run a repeatable agent workflow:

* **Identity and sharing**: a display name, description, visibility, and stable Expert ID.
* **Instructions**: the system prompt, optional default system prompt, user-facing instructions, and placeholder text shown when someone starts a session.
* **Model**: the model the Expert uses by default, with room for managed alternatives as the workflow evolves.
* **Capabilities and integrations**: the tools the Expert can use, such as web access, code hosting, ticketing, communication, or organization-specific integrations.
* **Environment**: the VM, runtime environment, repositories, and resources the Expert uses when it runs.
* **Launch experience**: initial messages, user instructions, and input guidance that make it clear what someone should provide.
* **Workers**: the other Experts this Expert can launch for delegated tasks, plus whether it can use all available Experts as workers.
