# How to switch every agent's model setup with one named profile with magpie

Repo: [yetone/magpie](https://github.com/yetone/magpie) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Save a Budget or Focus profile and flip all your agents between them in one move.

**Who it is for:** Developer who runs several agents and changes models by mood, deadline or budget

**The problem:** Changing models across three agents means repeating the same edits three times.

**The outcome:** One command swaps every agent between saved setups, such as a cheap Budget profile and a strong Focus profile.

## Steps

1. Set each agent to the models you want for your budget setup
2. Run: magpie save work
3. Change the models, then run: magpie save focus
4. Run: magpie use work to switch every agent back at once

## Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
With yetone/magpie, save my current agent setup as a profile named <PROFILE_NAME>, then change one agent's model and save a second profile. Show that magpie use switches back and the agent config reflects it.
```

## Caveat

Profiles cover model choices for agents magpie manages. A running agent session keeps its model until you start a new one.
