Agentic Definition Generator

Generate the agentic environment definition file that describes the platform's capabilities for creating agents, skills, and commands.

Purpose

This command probes the current agentic platform and generates

.aiwg/smiths/agentic-definition.yaml
which is used by:

  • AgentSmith - To know available models, tools, and agent deployment paths
  • SkillSmith - To know skill structure and deployment paths
  • CommandSmith - To know command categories and deployment paths

Arguments

ArgumentDescription
--verify-only
Check existing definition without updating
--update
Update existing definition with any changes

Workflow

1. Detect Platform

Determine the agentic platform by checking for platform-specific directories:

Platform Detection Priority:
1. .claude/         → Claude Code
2. .factory/        → Factory AI
3. .github/agents/  → GitHub Copilot
4. .cursor/         → Cursor
5. .codex/          → OpenAI Codex

2. Probe Platform Capabilities

For Claude Code:

  • Check
    .claude/agents/
    exists
  • Check
    .claude/commands/
    exists
  • Check
    .claude/skills/
    exists
  • Verify CLAUDE.md or project context

3. Identify Available Models

Check platform configuration for supported models:

  • haiku
    - Fast, simple tasks
  • sonnet
    - Balanced (default)
  • opus
    - Complex reasoning

4. Catalog Available Tools

Standard tool set:

  • File: Read, Write, MultiEdit
  • Search: Glob, Grep
  • Execution: Bash
  • Web: WebFetch, WebSearch
  • Orchestration: Task, TodoWrite

5. Generate Definition

Create

.aiwg/smiths/agentic-definition.yaml
:

# Agentic Environment Definition
# Generated by /smith-agenticdef
# Last updated: {timestamp}

platform:
  provider: claude
  version: "{detected_version}"
  detected_at: "{timestamp}"

agent_config:
  models:
    - haiku
    - sonnet
    - opus
  default_model: sonnet
  tools:
    available:
      - Read
      - Write
      - MultiEdit
      - Bash
      - Glob
      - Grep
      - WebFetch
      - WebSearch
      - Task
      - TodoWrite
    orchestration_default:
      - Task
      - Read
      - Write
      - Glob
      - TodoWrite

skill_config:
  supported: true
  structure: directory
  filename: SKILL.md

command_config:
  supported: true
  categories:
    - sdlc-management
    - sdlc-orchestration
    - development
    - utilities
    - smithing

deployment_paths:
  agents: .claude/agents/
  skills: .claude/skills/
  commands: .claude/commands/

capabilities:
  can_create_agents: true
  can_create_skills: true
  can_create_commands: true

6. Create Directory Structure

Ensure Smith directories exist:

mkdir -p .aiwg/smiths/agentsmith/specs
mkdir -p .aiwg/smiths/skillsmith/specs
mkdir -p .aiwg/smiths/commandsmith/specs

7. Initialize Empty Catalogs

Create catalog files if they don't exist:

  • .aiwg/smiths/agentsmith/catalog.yaml
  • .aiwg/smiths/skillsmith/catalog.yaml
  • .aiwg/smiths/commandsmith/catalog.yaml
