Guide for creating new DAAF agent definition files with full ecosystem integration. Use when adding a new specialized agent, revising agent structure, or verifying agent integration completeness across documentation. --- # Agent Authoring Create new DAAF agents that conform to the canonical template and are fully wired into the system documentation for discoverability and usability. ## What This Skill Does - Guides creation of agent `.md` files conforming to `agent_reference/AGENT_TEMPLATE.md` (12 mandatory sections) - Ensures cross-agent consistency (standardized confidence model, Learning Signal, STOP format, etc.) - Provides a **complete integration checklist** covering every file that references agents across the codebase to ensure it is discoverable and its invocation patterns are well-understood by the system agents - Complements `skill-authoring`: this skill handles the behavioral protocol file; if the new agent also needs a companion skill, invoke `skill-authoring` separately ## Decision Tree: What Do You Need? ``` What are you doing? │ ├─ Creating a brand-new agent │ └─ Follow "New Agent Workflow" below │ ├─ Revising an existing agent to match the template │ └─ Read: references/template-walkthrough.md │ + agent_reference/AGENT_TEMPLATE.md (the canonical blueprint) │ ├─ Checking if an agent is fully integrated into the ecosystem │ └─ Read: references/integration-checklist.md │ ├─ Understanding what must be identical across all agents │ └─ Read: references/cross-agent-standards.md │ └─ Understanding the current agent landscape before adding to it └─ Read: agents/README.md (Agent Index + "Commonly Confused Pairs") ``` ## New Agent Workflow ### Phase 1: Design (before writing) Before beginning, you MUST have a clear, coherent, and compelling answer to each of the following questions: 1. **Define the role** in one sentence — what does this agent do and why does it exist? 2. **Identify pipeline stage(s)** — which stage(s) does it operate in, or i
Create new AI chat interface components for the ai-elements library following established composable patterns, shadcn/ui integration, and Vercel AI SDK conventions. Use when creating new components in packages/elements/src or when the user asks to add a new component to ai-elements.
Add new GitHub skill repositories to the ASM curated index, audit discovered skills, update the website catalog, and create a PR. Use whenever someone shares GitHub URLs of skill repos to add, says "add this repo to the index", "update the skill catalog", "index these skills", "add new skill source", "new skill repo", or wants to onboard a new skill collection into ASM — even if they just paste a GitHub link without explanation.
Interactively create a new Claude Code skill and add it to the elastic-docs-skills catalog. Use when the user wants to generate a new skill, scaffold a slash command, or build automation for docs tasks.
Create new Claude Code skills for the Karma ecosystem. Use when user says "create a skill", "build a new skill", "scaffold a skill", or "design a skill". Guides through intent capture, SKILL.md writing, validation, and packaging.
Adds a new sub-project to an existing MoxPP workspace. Use when the developer wants to add a new executable, library, or utility project to the build system.
Create a new feature module by duplicating the canonical `tasks` module template. Use when adding a new module to the application, scaffolding a new domain area from scratch, or generating the boilerplate for a new feature.

Implement new MCP prompts in the deno-mcp-template project. Provides the exact file structure, type signatures, registration steps, and patterns for prompts with static arguments or dynamic completions. Use when adding a new prompt, creating MCP prompts, or asking how prompts work in this project.
Create new Agent Skills following the agentskills.io specification. Use when the user wants to create, scaffold, or design a new skill for AI agents. Handles SKILL.md generation, directory structure setup, and validation.
Create a new release for bpmn-to-code and publish to Maven Central, Gradle Plugin Portal, and Docker Hub via GitHub Actions. Use when releasing a new version.
Add a new external skill to the agent-skills project. Scaffolds the skill directory, registers it in the publish workflow, and creates the Claude Code symlink. Use when adding any new skill to skills/.
