title: Omega Agent description: Use Omega's first-party agent with Omega-configured models, tools, profiles, skills, instructions, and MCP servers.
Omega Agent
Omega Agent is Omega's first-party agent path. Its current native executor runs in the Agent Panel and Threads Sidebar, uses models configured through LLM Providers, and integrates with Omega's project, editor, terminal, and review surfaces.
Use Omega Agent when you want the agent to:
- read and search your project
- edit files
- run terminal commands
- use Omega-managed MCP tools
- follow Agent Profiles
- use Omega Skills and Instructions
- show changes in Omega's review UI

How It Differs from Other Agent Paths {#other-agent-paths}
| Agent path | Main difference |
|---|---|
| Omega Agent | Uses Omega's model, tool, profile, skill, instruction, and MCP configuration |
| External Agents | Use an ACP integration and often own auth, model, tool, and native instruction configuration |
| Terminal Threads | Run a CLI/TUI in a terminal-backed thread; the CLI owns auth and configuration |
