Agent Core Instructions

Read, set, and clear durable Core Instructions with `spinup agents instructions`.

Core Instructions are durable behavior guidance kept with a Spinup Agent across harnesses and runtimes. They are the same Core Instructions managed in the dashboard.

Read Core Instructions

spinup agents instructions get agent_01hxyz...

Use a slug directly:

spinup agents instructions get support-agent --slug

Set Core Instructions

Pass short instructions inline:

spinup agents instructions set agent_01hxyz... --core "Be direct and state uncertainty clearly."

Use a file for longer instructions. File contents are sent as written, including whitespace:

spinup agents instructions set agent_01hxyz... --core-file ./core-instructions.md

Clear Core Instructions

spinup agents instructions clear agent_01hxyz...

Clearing stores an empty Core Instructions value. Use set again to replace it.

JSON output

spinup agents instructions get agent_01hxyz... --json
spinup agents instructions set agent_01hxyz... --core-file ./core-instructions.md --json
spinup agents instructions clear agent_01hxyz... --json
