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
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.
