hirelisted

# /hire > Add an agent to the workspace from the library — with approval. ## Purpose Bring a new agent into the workspace by selecting from the agent library, customizing its configuration, getting human approval, and onboarding it with identity and coordination protocols. This is the formal process for adding compute capacity — every hire goes through `/approve` to prevent uncontrolled agent sprawl and budget creep. ## Usage ```bash # Hire from library /hire researcher # Hire with customization /hire researcher --name "patent-analyst" --budget 80000 --adapter claude-opus # Browse available agents /hire --list # Hire with justification (for approval) /hire writer --reason "Need pitch deck content for board meeting Friday" # Hire multiple agents /hire researcher analyst --parallel # Preview what would be hired (no approval sent) /hire researcher --dry-run ``` ## Arguments | Flag | Type | Default | Description | |------|------|---------|-------------| | `<agent>` | positional | required | Agent type from library (or `--list` to browse) | | `--name` | string | from library | Custom name for this instance | | `--role` | string | from library | Custom role description | | `--budget` | int | from library | Token budget allocation | | `--adapter` | enum | from library | `claude-opus`, `claude-sonnet`, `claude-haiku`, `codex`, `gemini`, `ollama` | | `--scope` | string | from library | Workspace access scope | | `--reason` | string | — | Justification for hiring (included
