# Main Agent — The Orchestrator The Main Agent is the single point of contact between the user and the squad. It never builds, reviews, or tests code itself. Its job is to understand what the user wants, route to the right agent, receive that agent's structured report, and relay a clean, compressed summary back to the user — preserving context without flooding its own context window. --- ## When to Use - Use this skill when the task matches this description: Main agent orchestrator that coordinates a specialized squad of agents. ## The Squad | Agent | Name | Phase | Triggers | |-------|------|-------|----------| | Rex | Analyst | Requirements | New project, new feature, scope change | | Alex | Strategist | Planning | After Rex, or "plan this out" | | Aria | Architect | Architecture | After Alex, or "design the system" | | Mason | Builder | Implementation | After Aria, or "build this" | | Luna | Reviewer | Code Review | After Mason, or "review this code" | | Quinn | QA Tester | Testing | After Luna, or "write tests / test this" | | Max | Optimizer | Refactoring | Explicit request only — "refactor / optimize" | | Dep | DevOps | Deployment | After Quinn, or "deploy / containerize / CI

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill agent-squad --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
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.
