Agent Provisioner Skill

Purpose

This is the ONLY sanctioned way to create new agents in dev-system.

Creating agents without this skill results in:

  • Missing knowledge source validation
  • Unverified tier classification
  • Incomplete MCP integration
  • Poor instruction quality
  • No curation record

Activation

/agent-provisioner
Parameters:
  domain: {domain-description}
  name: {proposed-agent-name}
  category: {parent-category in -03-agents}

Or simply:

I need a new agent for {description}

Overlap Detection

Before proceeding, search for existing agents with similar capabilities:

# Search existing agents
grep -r "domain:" agents/-03-agents/ | grep -i "{domain-keywords}"
grep -r "proactive_triggers:" agents/-03-agents/ | grep -i "{trigger-patterns}"

If significant overlap exists:

  • Recommend extending existing agent instead
  • Or clearly differentiate the new agent's unique value

Step 2: Tier Classification

Apply TIER-CLASSIFICATION.md criteria:

Curation Record

After saving, create curation record:

{
  "agent": "{agent-name}",
  "file": "agents/-03-agents/{category}/{subcategory}/{agent-name}.md",
  "created": "{timestamp}",
  "provisioned_by": "agent-provisioner",
  "tier": "expert",
  "knowledge_sources": {
    "count": 4,
    "authority_tiers": [1, 2, 2, 3]
  },
  "human_adjudications": 12,
  "curation_complete": true
}

Save to:

.claude/curation-logs/{agent-name}.json

Integration with Hooks

The

agent-creation-validator.sh
hook detects agents created outside this workflow and flags them for curation. Setting
AGENT_CURATION_ENFORCEMENT=BLOCK
will reject any agent file writes that don't have a curation record.

Never

  • Skip knowledge research phase
  • Bulk-add sources without human adjudication
  • Create agents without proper tier classification
  • Save agents without validation against CURATION-CHECKLIST.md
  • Allow duplicate agents without explicit differentiation
