create-agent

To scaffold a specialized subagent for a one-off migration task, you specify the agent name, domain boundaries, and required tools. This generates a reusable agent template with a research-first operational protocol for immediate deployment.

You need to create a new specialist agent when existing agents do not cover the requested task domain. This applies to specialized one-off complex work like codebase configuration, documentation, performance, or framework migrations.

A research-first operational protocol is a workflow that enforces prioritizing researching existing codebase patterns before writing code. When creating a specialist subagent, this protocol is built into the generated template to guide its operational boundaries.

Yes, you can generate an agent template for specific codebase configuration tasks. The scaffolding process requires defining clear responsibilities, domain boundaries, specified tools, and the model to create a SKILL-aligned configuration file.

The best way to define domain boundaries when scaffolding a new agent is to specify exactly what the agent handles and its triggers. This ensures the generated subagent template has clear responsibilities and does not overlap with existing agents.

Yes, the generated subagent template includes predefined tools and model specifications. When you scaffold a new specialized agent, the output configuration explicitly defines the tools, model, responsibilities, and workflow sections required for execution.
