Add Agent Templates

Add Agent Templates

Purpose

This skill standardizes the process of adding new Agent templates to the meta-agent-skills framework. It ensures that new agents follow the required structure for automatic generation and skill binding by the Meta-Agent.

When to Use

• When you want to add a new specialized agent (e.g., cloud-deployer-agent, perf-optimizer-agent) to the framework.
• When you want to define a new set of capabilities that a subagent should possess.

Instructions

1. Define Agent Persona:

• Identify the agent's name (e.g., sre-agent).
• Define its primary purpose and responsibilities.

1. Select Required Skills:

• List the skills from skills/meta-agent-skills/assets/templates/skills/ that this agent will need.
• These should be listed in the YAML frontmatter.

1. Use Boilerplate:

• Read assets/agent-template-boilerplate.md for the standard structure.
• Create a new file in skills/meta-agent-skills/assets/templates/agents/ named .md.

1. Configure Template:

• Fill in the YAML frontmatter (name, description, skills).
• Use the ` and ` markers in the Capabilities section.
• Refer to [references/agent-conventions.md](references/agent-conventions.md) for detailed formatting rules.

1. Register Capability:

• Update the Capabilities Generated section in skills/meta-agent-skills/SKILL.md to include the new agent.

1. Verify:

• Ensure the template is readable and follows the format of existing agents like codebase-maintainer-agent.md.
