Agent Specification

Defining an agent role requires specifying its explicit responsibilities, inputs, outputs, and forbidden actions. This skill provides discovery questions and formal spec templates to standardize role definitions and reduce multi-agent system (MAS) failures.

The best discovery questions target the agent's explicit role, expected inputs, required outputs, and forbidden actions. Using structured templates aligned with the 12 Factor Agents framework ensures comprehensive coverage and reduces multi-agent system (MAS) failures.

The 12 Factor Agents framework guides system design by providing best-practice patterns for formalizing agent specifications. It enforces explicit definitions for roles, inputs, outputs, and versioning to standardize governance and prevent multi-agent system failures.

Yes, you can generate a formal template for a Planner agent that details its role, inputs, outputs, and success criteria. The skill outputs structured JSON plan templates aligned with the 12 Factor Agents guidelines for comprehensive system design.

An agent specification template for human-in-the-loop workflows must include explicit role definitions, input/output boundaries, forbidden actions, and versioning. These components ensure standardized governance and clear interaction protocols within the multi-agent system.
