Experts

Expert Fleet

The “Expert Fleet” tab on the Experts page manages every expert profile:

20 built-in experts (Official Document Writing, Data Analysis, Contract & Legal, Bidding Specialist, Meeting Secretary, Reporting Expert, Financial Analysis, Recruiting Advisor, Brand Communications, Industry Researcher, Party-building Materials, Translation Expert, Audit Specialist, Project Management, Investment Research, Frontend Engineer, Test Engineer, DevOps Engineer, UI Designer, Graphic Designer), each with its own avatar
Every expert has a name, title, bio, soul profile (soul.md), and model (leave it blank to follow the global setting)
You can edit a built-in expert’s preset methodology, or restore it in one click
You can create your own expert (configure connectors, exclusive skills, model, and persona)

Expert Configuration

Connectors: which of the enabled connectors this expert may use
Exclusive skills: a skill pack only this expert gets
Exclusive model: blank means follow the global setting
Persona: appended to the built-in methodology; can be restored to default

Agent-Created Experts

In conversation, you can have LanMate create an expert and manage its skill mounts directly (create_expert / manage_expert_skills), then reuse the distilled methodology long-term:

Turn this pricing analysis approach into a "Pricing Analyst" expert I can go to directly

Agent-created experts appear in the expert fleet roster and are managed alongside built-ins.

Expert Skill Packs

Every built-in expert ships with a curated skill pack of its own (official-document formats, contract-review methods, and the like) — installing an expert brings the pack along automatically, no separate setup. Agent-created experts can mount skills in their configuration too.

Agent-created experts can be exported as a .lanmate-expert package to share with colleagues: they import it straight from a conversation attachment. On import, the expert’s identity and capability list are shown first, and it’s only enabled after trust is confirmed.

Expert Chat

Each expert has a persistent session (forever-chat) whose context accumulates across tasks:

Entry from the expert’s roster row on the Experts page
Doesn’t take up a slot in the sidebar session list
Shares the right panel with the main chat (artifacts / files / terminal / browser)

Expert Rooms

Multiple experts discuss a topic serially:

2-6 expert members
Per speaking turn the whole room produces at most 10 expert replies and at most 3 rounds (not 10 replies each)
Members can output [PASS] to yield early
A 240-second timeout skips automatically
Progress messages stream in real time; the transcript is persisted

Expert Messaging

In an expert session you can send a teammate expert a DM (fire-and-forget); the reply arrives as a “[Receipt]” message.

Routines

When a scheduled task is assigned to an expert, its sessionId points at the expert’s persistent session and the title is tagged “[Expert Name]”.
