Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# BuildAgent Scaffold, validate, and audit agent markdown files following forge conventions. Agents are markdown files with frontmatter that deploy to provider-specific directories via `install-agents`. ## Workflow Routing | Workflow | Trigger | Section | |----------|---------|---------| | **Create** | "create agent", "new agent", "build agent" | [Create Workflow](#create-workflow) | | **Validate** | "validate agent", "check agent" | [Validate Workflow](#validate-workflow) | | **Audit** | "audit agents", "check all agents" | [Audit Workflow](#audit-workflow) | ## Agent Conventions ### Naming All agent identifiers use **PascalCase** with no spaces, hyphens, or abbreviations: | Field | Format | Example | |-------|--------|---------| | `name` | PascalCase | `SecurityArchitect` | | Source filename | PascalCase.md | `SecurityArchitect.md` | | Deployed filename | PascalCase.md | `~/.claude/agents/SecurityArchitect.md` | | Task subagent_type | PascalCase | `subagent_type: "SecurityArchitect"` | Rules: - No spaces: `GameMaster` not `Game Master` - No hyphens: `SecurityArchitect` not `security-architect` - No abbreviations: `DocumentationWriter` not `DocWriter` - Compound terms keep interna

Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
