Agent Creator

What it does

This skill guides a user through a six-phase process to design well-scoped sub-agents. It produces a ready-to-commit agent markdown file with clear triggers, least-privilege tool selections, a system-prompt contract, and placement guidance. The output is intended to be portable across agent platforms and suitable for marketplace registration.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need to create a new sub-agent or refactor an existing one: designing specialists, role agents, or team-leads; scoping responsibilities; choosing tool permissions; or preparing an agent for production and marketplace listing. It’s triggered by requests to "create an agent", "scaffold a sub-agent", or "design an agent definition".

What’s included

• Scripts: none bundled, but the skill references phase files and references/ guidance.
• References: includes a references/ folder with archetypes, frontmatter field docs, and validation guidance.
• Instructions: a six-phase, gate-locked workflow covering purpose & trigger, naming, capabilities, system prompt, placement, and validation. Each phase contains checklists and examples to produce a high-quality agent file.

Compatible agents

Best suited for Claude Code and other Agent Skills-compatible assistants (Cursor, Copilot-style orchestrators); the guidance is platform-agnostic but mentions Claude Code and Cursor explicitly.
