Finding Agents
This skill helps you find other agents on the same Letta server.
When to Use This Skill
- User asks about other agents they have
- User wants to find a specific agent by name
- User wants to list agents with certain tags
- You need to find an agent ID for memory migration
- You found an agent_id via message search and need details about that agent
Script Usage
npx tsx <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/find-agents.ts [options]
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--name <name> |
Exact name match |
--query <text> |
Fuzzy search by name |
--tags <tag1,tag2> |
Filter by tags (comma-separated) |
--match-all-tags |
Require ALL tags (default: ANY) |
--include-blocks |

--limit <n> |
Max results (default: 20) |
Common Patterns
Finding Letta Code Agents
Agents created by Letta Code are tagged with origin:letta-code. To find only Letta Code agents:
npx tsx <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/find-agents.ts --tags "origin:letta-code"
This is useful when the user is looking for agents they've worked with in Letta Code CLI sessions.
Finding All Agents
If the user has agents created outside Letta Code (via ADE, SDK, etc.), search without the tag filter:
npx tsx <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/find-agents.ts
Examples
List all agents (up to 20):
npx tsx <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/find-agents.ts
Find agent by exact name:
npx tsx <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/find-agents.ts --name "ProjectX-v1"
Search agents by name (fuzzy):
npx tsx <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/find-agents.ts --query "project"
Find only Letta Code agents:
npx tsx <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/find-agents.ts --tags "origin:letta-code"
Find agents with multiple tags:
npx tsx <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/find-agents.ts --tags "frontend,production" --match-all-tags
Include memory blocks in results:
npx tsx <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/find-agents.ts --query "project" --include-blocks
Output
Returns the raw API response with full agent details. Key fields:
id- Agent ID (e.g.,agent-abc123)name- Agent namedescription- Agent descriptiontags- Agent tagsblocks- Memory blocks (if--include-blocksused)
Related Skills
- migrating-memory - Once you find an agent, use this skill to copy/share memory blocks
- searching-messages - Search messages across all agents to find which agent discussed a topic. Use
--all-agentsto getagent_idvalues, then use this skill to get full agent details.
Finding Agents by Topic
If you need to find which agent worked on a specific topic:
- Load both skills:
searching-messagesandfinding-agents - Search messages across all agents:
search-messages.ts --query "topic" --all-agents --limit 10 - Note the
agent_idvalues from matching messages - Get agent details:
Or use the agent_id directly in the Letta APIfind-agents.ts --query "partial-name"
