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.
