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.

2. 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.

3. 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

     <agent-name>.md

     .

4. Configure Template:

   • Fill in the YAML frontmatter (

     name

     ,

     description

     ,

     skills

     ).
   • Use the

     <!-- SKILLS_START -->

     and

     <!-- SKILLS_END -->

     markers in the Capabilities section.
   • Refer to references/agent-conventions.md for detailed formatting rules.

5. Register Capability:

   • Update the

     Capabilities Generated

     section in

     skills/meta-agent-skills/SKILL.md

     to include the new agent.

6. Verify:

   • Ensure the template is readable and follows the format of existing agents like

     codebase-maintainer-agent.md

     .
