Settings: Assistants
The Assistants panel lists every assistant Wayland knows about: built-in, extension-contributed, and custom. From here you edit an assistant’s identity, pick its main agent, attach skills, and write its rules. A link at the top points to the /assistants library, the browse-and-launch surface.
