Matrix recipes
Reusable task briefs for research, reports, coding, and everyday work.
A Matrix recipe is a reusable task brief. It describes the inputs an agent needs, the work to perform, the expected result, and what you should review.
Browse Matrix recipes for research, weekly reports, bug fixes, campaign briefs, meeting follow-ups, and software spend reviews.

- Open a recipe and expand View instructions.
- Choose Copy recipe. If your browser blocks copying, select and copy the visible instructions.
- Open your agent in Matrix and paste the instructions.
- Provide the requested files or source material. Connect required tools through their supported authentication flows.
- Review the result and its sources before using it or approving an external action.
These are manually started task briefs. They do not install a bot, connect an account, or create a schedule. Results depend on the agent, tools, and inputs you provide. Missing access should be reported as a blocker.
One-click recipe installation in the web app and desktop app is planned. The website catalog is not a claim that the in-product recipe manager is available.
Repeat a successful task
Start with a single run. Refine the instructions after reviewing the output, then save your preferred brief in your workspace. Scheduling is a separate setup and requires an eligible plan and runtime capability. Builder and Max support always-on work; Starter sleeps when inactive and excludes scheduled and always-running agents.
Recipes, agents, skills, and schedules
- A recipe describes a job and the result you want.
- An agent does the work using the tools available to it.
- A skill supplies reusable instructions for a capability.
- A schedule determines when a recurring task runs.
A recipe can reference skills and be used for recurring work, but copying its text does not grant permissions or enforce a security policy. Review the chosen agent's permissions and approve external actions deliberately.
Keep credentials out of recipe text. Share reusable instructions without private source files, account tokens, or previous run results.
