What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a structured approach to designing, validating, and deploying autonomous agents for Claude Code plugins, ensuring consistency across frontmatter, system prompts, and triggering patterns.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Frontmatter guidance: defines required fields (name, description) and optional ones (model, color, tools, dependencies, components).
- System prompt design: templates and best practices for creating effective agent system prompts.
- Triggering guidance: examples and commentary to demonstrate explicit, proactive, and edge-case triggers.
- Validation and testing: patterns for validating agent files and testing triggering scenarios.
- CLAUDE.md alignment: ensures agents follow project-specific standards and conventions.
Quick Start
Start by drafting a minimal agent file in agents/your-agent.md with the required frontmatter, then write a concise, second-person system prompt that defines core responsibilities and a clear output format. Add 2-3 triggering examples in the description to guide Claude on when to use the agent, and run the provided validation script to verify structure.
