When to Use This Skill

- 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
CLI Usage
bashletta agents list [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 | Include agent.blocks in response |
--shared | List agents shared with the current user |
--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:
bashletta agents list --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 Accessible Agents
List agents owned by the current user, then list agents shared with them:
bashletta agents list letta agents list --shared
Use --query <text> with either command to search by name.
Examples
List all agents (up to 20):
bashletta agents list
Find agent by exact name:
bashletta agents list --name "ProjectX-v1"
Search agents by name (fuzzy):
bashletta agents list --query "project"
Find only Letta Code agents:
bashletta agents list --tags "origin:letta-code"
Find agents with multiple tags:
bashletta agents list --tags "frontend,production" --match-all-tags
Include memory blocks in results:
bashletta agents list --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)

Finding Agents by Topic
If you need to find which agent worked on a specific topic:
- Search messages across all agents:
bash
letta messages search --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 APIbashletta agents list --query "partial-name"
