Agents - Custom Agent Composition System

Auto-routes when user mentions custom agents, agent creation, or specialized personalities.

Overview

The Agents skill provides complete agent composition and management:

•Dynamic agent composition from traits (expertise + personality + approach)
•Personality definitions and voice mappings
•Custom agent creation with unique voices
•Parallel agent orchestration patterns

Workflow Routing

Available Workflows:

•CREATECUSTOMAGENT - Create specialized custom agents → Workflows/CreateCustomAgent.md
•LISTTRAITS - Show available agent traits → Workflows/ListTraits.md
•SPAWNPARALLEL - Launch parallel agents → Workflows/SpawnParallelAgents.md

Route Triggers

CRITICAL: The word "custom" is the ABSOLUTE trigger - NO EXCEPTIONS:

User Says	What to Use	subagent_type	Why
"custom agents", "create custom agents", "spin up custom"	AgentFactory	`general-purpose`	Unique prompts + unique voices
"agents", "launch agents", "bunch of agents"	Generic prompt	`Intern`	Same voice, parallel grunt work
"use [agent name]", "get [agent name] to"	Direct call	Named agent type	Pre-defined personality

CONSTITUTIONAL RULE FOR CUSTOM AGENTS: When user says "custom agents", you MUST:

•Use AgentFactory to compose EACH agent with DIFFERENT traits
•Use subagent_type: "general-purpose" - NEVER "Intern", "Designer", "Architect", etc.
•Each agent gets their own voice from the trait-to-voice mapping

❌ NEVER DO THIS for custom agents:

code

subagent_type: "Intern"      // WRONG - forces same voice on all
subagent_type: "Designer"    // WRONG - forces Designer's voice
subagent_type: "Architect"   // WRONG - forces Architect's voice

✅ ALWAYS DO THIS for custom agents:

code

subagent_type: "general-purpose"  // CORRECT - uses custom voice from AgentFactory

Architecture

Hybrid Agent Model

Two types of agents:

Type	Definition	Best For
Named Agents	Persistent identities with backstories	Recurring work, voice output
Dynamic Agents	Task-specific specialists from traits	One-off tasks, parallel work

Components

Data/Traits.yaml - 28 composable traits with voice mappings Templates/DynamicAgent.hbs - Agent prompt template Tools/AgentFactory.ts - Dynamic composition engine AgentPersonalities.md - Named agent definitions

Usage

Just ask naturally:

•"I need a legal expert to review this contract"
•"Spin up 5 custom science agents"
•"Get me someone skeptical about security"

The skill routes to appropriate workflow automatically.

Model Selection

Task Type	Model	Why
Grunt work	`haiku`	10-20x faster
Standard analysis	`sonnet`	Balanced
Deep reasoning	`opus`	Maximum intelligence
