Creating a Claude Code agent involves designing a minimal agent file (~150 lines) with proper YAML frontmatter, defining skill invocations, and following a 6-phase structured workflow. This Skill guides you through discovery, validation, and scaffolding to ensure compliance with Anthropic standards and automatic handoff to skill-creator for complete agent+skill packages.

A minimal agent structure requires approximately 150 lines with mandatory YAML frontmatter, skill invocations, proper metadata design, and validation checkpoints. This Skill automates scaffolding of agent directories, references, and the complete skeleton, ensuring your agent meets architectural requirements without manual boilerplate.

Yes. This Skill transforms verbose, monolithic agent files into clean, minimal structures by applying the 6-phase workflow and separating concerns into companion skills. The refactoring process maintains functionality while reducing complexity and establishing best-practice compliance.

The workflow progresses through structured phases: discovery, design, validation, scaffolding, skill integration, and handoff. Each phase includes Context7 checkpoints to ensure correctness, with bash, grep, sed, and awk utilities automating validation and metadata generation throughout.

You need bash, grep, sed, and awk available in your environment. These command-line utilities power the automated validation, scaffolding, and metadata processing that enforce best practices and generate agent and skill directories during creation.

No. This Skill automates YAML frontmatter design and validation as part of the scaffolding process, so you focus on agent logic and skill definition rather than syntax details. The Skill handles mandatory metadata fields and structure compliance.
