nw-agent-creation-workflow
Detailed 5-phase workflow for creating agents - from requirements analysis through validation and iterative refinement
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill nw-agent-creation-workflow --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Agent Creation Workflow ## Overview Create agents through 5 phases: ANALYZE -> DESIGN -> CREATE -> VALIDATE -> REFINE. Each phase has clear inputs, outputs, and quality gates. Follow "start minimal, add based on failure." ## Phase 1: ANALYZE **Goal**: Understand requirements and determine agent architecture. **Inputs**: User requirements, use case description, existing codebase context. **Steps**: 1. Identify single clear responsibility 2. Determine new agent or modification of existing 3. Check overlap with existing agents (avoid duplication) 4. Classify agent type: - **Specialist**: Single-domain expert (most common) - **Reviewer**: Validates outputs from another agent (Reflection pattern) - **Orchestrator**: Coordinates multiple agents 5. Identify required tools (start with Read, Glob, Grep -- add only what's needed) 6. Determine if Skills needed (domain knowledge > 50 lines) **Gate**: Single responsibility identified. Agent type classified. No overlap. **Output**: Requirements summary with agent type, tools list, skill needs. ## Phase 2: DESIGN **Goal**: Design agent architecture and structure. **Inputs**: Requirements summary from Phase 1. **Steps**: 1. Select design pattern

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill nw-agent-creation-workflow --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 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.
