}

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Define Agent Identity

Questions to answer:

What is the agent's core purpose?
Which court does it belong to?
What frequency does it operate at?
What makes it unique?

Example:

const ignitionAgent = {
  id: "ignition",
  name: "Ignition",
  command: "/ignition",
  court: "Draconia",
  element: "fire",
  frequency: "528Hz",
  specialty: "Spark rapid creative ideas"
};

Step 2: Define Capabilities

List what the agent can do:

Generate ideas rapidly
Break creative blocks
Initiate projects
Provide energetic momentum

Map to skills:

/fire ignite
/fire intensify
/foundation begin

Step 3: Create Prompt Template

Template structure:

You are {name} from the {court} Court.
Frequency: {frequency} | Element: {element}
Specialty: {specialty}

Your approach:
- {Characteristic 1}
- {Characteristic 2}
- {Characteristic 3}

Task: {{task}}
Context: {{context}}

Provide your contribution as {name}:

Example for Ignition:

You are Ignition from the Draconia Court.
Frequency: 528Hz | Element: Fire
Specialty: Spark rapid creative ideas

Your approach:
- High-energy, passionate
- Fast generation over perfection
- Bold, unconventional ideas
- Fearless creativity

Task: {{task}}
Context: {{context}}

Ignite creative fire. Generate 10 bold, energetic ideas rapidly.
Don't self-censor. Embrace wild possibilities.

Step 4: Define Triggers

Keywords that activate this agent:

triggers: [
  "stuck",
  "blocked", 
  "can't start",
  "ignite",
  "spark",
  "rapid",
  "brainstorm",
  "ideas"
]

Step 5: Set Parameters

What inputs does the agent need?

parameters: {
  task: {
    type: "string",
    required: true,
    description: "What to generate ideas for"
  },
  count: {
    type: "number",
    required: false,
    default: 10,
    description: "Number of ideas to generate"
  },
  temperature: {
    type: "number",
    required: false,
    default: 0.9,
    description: "Creativity level (0.1-1.0)"
  }
}

Step 6: Register Agent

Add to registry:

// In arcanea-agents/registry.js
const AGENT_REGISTRY = {
  courts: {
    elemental: {
      fire: {
        guardian: "Draconia",
        agents: [
          // ... other agents
          {
            id: "ignition",
            name: "Ignition",
            // ... all properties
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
};

Step 7: Test Agent

Create test cases:

// Test ignition agent
describe('Ignition Agent', () => {
  test('generates ideas for character', async () => {
    const result = await invokeAgent('ignition', {
      task: 'Create a cyberpunk character'
    });
    expect(result.output).toContain('character');
    expect(result.output.split('\n').length).toBeGreaterThan(5);
  });
});

Agent Templates

Fire Court Agent Template

{
  id: "{kebab-name}",
  name: "{TitleCaseName}",
  command: "/{kebab-name}",
  court: "Draconia",
  element: "fire",
  frequency: "{396|528|639|741|852|963}Hz",
  specialty: "{One-line specialty}",
  personality: "{Fiery, passionate, transformative}",
  capabilities: ["{capability1}", "{capability2}"],
  skills: ["/fire {skill1}", "/fire {skill2}"],
  triggers: ["{keyword1}", "{keyword2}"],
  promptTemplate: `You are {name} from the Draconia Court...
  
Task: {{task}}

Approach with fire: intense, passionate, transformative.
{specific_instructions}`,
  examples: ["{example1}", "{example2}"]
}

Water Court Agent Template

{
  id: "{kebab-name}",
  name: "{TitleCaseName}",
  command: "/{kebab-name}",
  court: "Leyla",
  element: "water",
  frequency: "{396|528|639|741|852}Hz",
  specialty: "{One-line specialty}",
  personality: "{Fluid, emotional, nurturing}",
  capabilities: ["{capability1}", "{capability2}"],
  skills: ["/flow {skill1}", "/flow {skill2}"],
  triggers: ["{keyword1}", "{keyword2}"],
  promptTemplate: `You are {name} from the Leyla Court...
  
Task: {{task}}

Approach with water: flowing, emotional, adaptive.
{specific_instructions}`,
  examples: ["{example1}", "{example2}"]
}

Common Patterns

Agent with Sub-agents

For complex agents that need specialized modes:

{
  id: "structure",
  name: "Structure",
  subModes: [
    { id: "structure-architect", name: "Architect Mode" },
    { id: "structure-foundation", name: "Foundation Mode" },
    { id: "structure-refinement", name: "Refinement Mode" }
  ]
}

Agent with Parameters

For agents that need configuration:

{
  id: "depth",
  name: "Depth",
  parameters: {
    depth: {
      type: "enum",
      options: ["surface", "shallow", "deep", "abyssal"],
      default: "deep"
    }
  }
}

Agent with Context Memory

For agents that remember previous interactions:

{
  id: "relationship",
  name: "Relationship",
  contextWindow: 5,  // Remember last 5 interactions
  memory: {
    type: "conversation",
    persistence: "session"
  }
}

Best Practices

Do's

✅ Give each agent a clear, single purpose ✅ Use consistent naming conventions ✅ Document all parameters ✅ Provide example outputs ✅ Test with real tasks ✅ Version your agents

Don'ts

❌ Create agents that overlap too much ❌ Give agents vague or broad purposes ❌ Forget to add to registry ❌ Skip testing ❌ Hardcode without configuration options

Validation Checklist

Before an agent is complete:

[ ] ID is unique and kebab-case
[ ] Name is clear and descriptive
[ ] Court assignment is logical
[ ] Frequency matches gate
[ ] Specialty is one clear sentence
[ ] At least 3 capabilities defined
[ ] At least 3 skills mapped
[ ] At least 5 trigger keywords
[ ] Prompt template is complete
[ ] Examples are provided
[ ] Added to registry
[ ] Tests written and passing
[ ] Documentation complete

Testing Strategy

Unit Tests

test('agent responds correctly', async () => {
  const agent = getAgent('ignition');
  const result = await agent.invoke('Brainstorm ideas');
  expect(result).toBeDefined();
  expect(result.output).toBeTruthy();
});

Integration Tests

test('agent integrates with conductor', async () => {
  const result = await conductor.orchestrate({
    agent: 'ignition',
    task: 'test'
  });
  expect(result.success).toBe(true);
});

User Tests

Real users try the agent
Feedback collected
Iterations made

Conclusion

Implementing agents requires:

Clear definition - Know what the agent does
Proper structure - Follow the template
Thorough testing - Validate functionality
Documentation - Help users understand

Each agent is a specialized creative partner. Build them well.

Use this skill when implementing or modifying agents in the Arcanea ecosystem.
