# Agent Creation Skill ## Overview Provides actionable instructions for creating standards-compliant agent definitions using templates. Agents are defined in markdown files (AGENTS.md) with YAML frontmatter specifying metadata and a clear, readable structure. This skill enforces context gathering before agent creation to ensure robust and well-defined agents. ## Objective Enable agents and users to generate agent definitions that strictly follow the required structure and conventions using the provided template. Ensure sufficient context is gathered through clarifying questions before proceeding with agent creation. Validate each agent against the JSON schema and provide a compliance checklist to ensure all requirements are met. --- ## When to Use Use this skill when: - Creating a new agent definition from scratch - Setting up project-specific agents - Documenting agent workflows and responsibilities - Defining agent context and skill requirements Don't use this skill for: - Creating individual skills (use skill-creation instead) - Creating context prompts (use prompt-creation instead) - Modifying existing agents without full context --- ## References - https://agents.md/ - https:/

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
