AI summary

Written by AI from the official notes. Check them for exact details.

Claude Managed Agents now allow budget setting, advisor integration, inference location control, and skill loading from GitHub.

Why it matters: Users managing Claude Managed Agents should care to optimize costs and improve session capabilities.

You can now set a budget on a Claude Managed Agents session: a hard cap on the session's spend, priced at public list rates. A session that reaches its budget pauses with the budget_reached stop reason instead of starting new model requests; changing or removing the budget resumes it. Deployments accept the same budget and apply it to each session they start. See Session budgets.
You can now give a Claude Managed Agents session an advisor: a model at least as capable as the agent's own that the session's primary thread can consult mid-turn for strategic guidance. Configure it as a {"type": "advisor"} entry in the agent's multiagent roster, naming the model to consult. See Give the session an advisor.
You can now control where model inference runs for a Claude Managed Agents agent. Set inference_geo inside the model object when you create the agent, or override it for a single session. See Data residency for the available geos and pricing.
Claude Managed Agents sessions can now load skills from a GitHub repository. When a session mounts a repository, any skills in its root .claude/skills directory are discovered automatically at session start and available to the agent for that session.
