# Anthropic ships four updates to Claude Managed Agents

Anthropic added budget limits, inference geo control, skill loading from repos, and an advisor model to Claude Managed Agents.

- Set a budget per session; sessions that hit the limit pause with a budget_reached event and can be resumed by raising the budget.
- Inference geo can be set to `global` (standard rate) or `us` (billed at 1.1x) via model.inference_geo.
- Managed Agents now load skills from .claude/skills/ in attached repositories automatically at session start.
- An agent can be given an advisor—a stronger model it can call mid-session for a second opinion—by adding one line to the roster.

## Why it matters

Developers using Claude Managed Agents can now cap spending, control inference region, reuse existing skills, and give agents access to a stronger model for second opinions.
