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}

Step 1: Domain Analysis
Present domain analysis interface:
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ NEW AGENT: DOMAIN ANALYSIS ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Proposed Agent: {name} ║ ║ Domain: {domain} ║ ║ ║ ║ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ DOMAIN EXPERTISE AREAS │ ║ ║ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ ║ ║ │ 1. {expertise-area-1} │ ║ ║ │ 2. {expertise-area-2} │ ║ ║ │ 3. {expertise-area-3} │ ║ ║ │ 4. {expertise-area-4} │ ║ ║ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ║ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ RELATED EXISTING AGENTS │ ║ ║ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ ║ ║ │ • {existing-agent-1}: {overlap-description} │ ║ ║ │ • {existing-agent-2}: {overlap-description} │ ║ ║ │ → Differentiation: {how new agent differs} │ ║ ║ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ║ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ RECOMMENDED CATEGORY │ ║ ║ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ ║ ║ │ agents/-03-agents/{category}/{subcategory}/ │ ║ ║ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ [C] Confirm domain analysis ║ ║ [E] Edit expertise areas ║ ║ [R] Change recommended category ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
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:
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ TIER CLASSIFICATION ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Based on domain analysis, this agent is classified as: ║ ║ ║ ║ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ ██████████ EXPERT TIER │ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ Tokens: ~1500 │ ║ ║ │ Instructions: 15-20 │ ║ ║ │ Model: sonnet (default) | opus (if high-stakes) │ ║ ║ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ║ Rationale: ║ ║ • Domain requires specialized knowledge ║ ║ • Multiple expertise areas identified ║ ║ • Not a bounded/simple task (would be Focused) ║ ║ • Not research-level/novel problem (would be PhD) ║ ║ ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ [C] Confirm tier classification ║ ║ [F] Change to Focused tier ║ ║ [P] Change to PhD tier ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Step 3: Knowledge Research
Delegate to knowledge research workflow:
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ KNOWLEDGE RESEARCH ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Researching authoritative sources for: {domain} ║ ║ ║ ║ What would a PhD in {domain} cite as canonical references? ║ ║ ║ ║ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ RESEARCH STRATEGY │ ║ ║ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ ║ ║ │ 1. Official specifications (IETF, IEEE, W3C, ISO) │ ║ ║ │ 2. Vendor/maintainer documentation │ ║ ║ │ 3. Academic papers (if applicable) │ ║ ║ │ 4. Community best practices │ ║ ║ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ║ Launching web-researcher skill for parallel discovery... ║ ║ ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
For EACH discovered source, present for human adjudication (never bulk-add):
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ SOURCE ADJUDICATION (1 of N) ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Source: {source-title} ║ ║ URL: {url} ║ ║ Authority Tier: {1-5} ({tier-name}) ║ ║ ║ ║ Unique Value: ║ ║ {what this provides that nothing else does} ║ ║ ║ ║ Materialization: URL | Local Excerpt | Embed ║ ║ Rationale: {why this materialization} ║ ║ ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ [A] Add to agent ║ ║ [S] Skip this source ║ ║ [D] Show source content ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Step 4: Identity Design
Design the agent's interpretive lens and vocabulary:
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ IDENTITY DESIGN ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ INTERPRETIVE LENS │ ║ ║ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ ║ ║ │ You interpret all {domain} work through a lens of │ ║ ║ │ {interpretive-frame}—{how this shapes analysis and decisions}. │ ║ ║ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ║ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ VOCABULARY (15-20 domain terms) │ ║ ║ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ ║ ║ │ {term-1}, {term-2}, {term-3}, {term-4}, {term-5}, │ ║ ║ │ {term-6}, {term-7}, {term-8}, {term-9}, {term-10}, │ ║ ║ │ {term-11}, {term-12}, {term-13}, {term-14}, {term-15} │ ║ ║ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ [C] Confirm identity design ║ ║ [E] Edit interpretive lens ║ ║ [V] Edit vocabulary ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Step 5: Instruction Authoring
Generate instructions following tier template:
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ INSTRUCTION AUTHORING ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Tier: Expert (~1500 tokens, 15-20 instructions) ║ ║ ║ ║ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ ALWAYS SECTION (4-5 non-negotiable behaviors) │ ║ ║ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ ║ ║ │ 1. {always-behavior-1} │ ║ ║ │ 2. {always-behavior-2} │ ║ ║ │ 3. {always-behavior-3} │ ║ ║ │ 4. {always-behavior-4} │ ║ ║ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ║ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ NEVER SECTION (explicit anti-patterns) │ ║ ║ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ ║ ║ │ - {never-1} │ ║ ║ │ - {never-2} │ ║ ║ │ - {never-3} │ ║ ║ │ - {never-4} │ ║ ║ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ [C] Confirm instructions ║ ║ [E] Edit always section ║ ║ [N] Edit never section ║ ║ [M] Edit mode-specific instructions ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Step 6: Tooling & MCP
Configure tools and MCP servers following MCP-INTEGRATION.md:
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ TOOLING & MCP CONFIGURATION ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Tool Modes: ║ ║ audit: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash ║ ║ solution: Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash ║ ║ research: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, WebSearch, WebFetch ║ ║ default: {recommended-default} ║ ║ ║ ║ MCP Servers (based on domain): ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ github │ ║ ║ │ Purpose: Repository exploration and code examples │ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ {domain-specific-mcp} │ ║ ║ │ Purpose: {what it provides} │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ║ Proactive Triggers: ║ ║ - "{trigger-pattern-1}" ║ ║ - "{trigger-pattern-2}" ║ ║ - "{trigger-pattern-3}" ║ ║ ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ [C] Confirm configuration ║ ║ [T] Edit tool modes ║ ║ [M] Edit MCP servers ║ ║ [P] Edit proactive triggers ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Step 7: Synthesis & Validation
Generate the complete agent and validate:
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ AGENT SYNTHESIS ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Generating complete agent definition... ║ ║ ║ ║ Validation Results: ║ ║ ✓ Frontmatter complete (name, tier, model, tools, modes) ║ ║ ✓ Identity section present ║ ║ ✓ Instructions section present (18 instructions) ║ ║ ✓ Never section present (6 anti-patterns) ║ ║ ✓ Specializations defined (3 areas) ║ ║ ✓ Knowledge sources documented (4 sources) ║ ║ ✓ Output format specified ║ ║ ✓ Token estimate: ~1450 (within Expert tier budget) ║ ║ ║ ║ Target Location: ║ ║ agents/-03-agents/{category}/{subcategory}/{agent-name}.md ║ ║ ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ [S] Save agent ║ ║ [P] Preview full definition ║ ║ [E] Edit before saving ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
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
Signals
| Signal | Meaning |
|---|---|
| New agent creation begun |
| Domain analysis approved |
| Tier classification approved |
| Knowledge research finished |
| Identity design approved |
| Instructions authored |
| Agent saved and registered |
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
