Scaffolding a multi-agent role plugin involves generating all required components, including agent reference docs, skills, Jinja2 templates, and test files. This skill automates that process by applying canonical template patterns and updating project registry files automatically.

Adding specialized roles like data-modeler or dq-engineer requires creating role-specific skills, hooks, and validation scripts. This skill collects role-specific details via guided prompts and applies substitutions automatically to ensure consistency across the artifact chain.

Automated plugin generation handles project integration by automatically updating existing project files like marketplace.json, CLAUDE.md, and the Makefile. It then runs pytest and linting checks to validate the new plugin configuration.

Yes, you can use this scaffolding tool to generate validation scripts and test files for new workflow roles. It creates all required plugin components from canonical templates and runs validation tests to ensure the generated roles are immediately usable.

To generate a functional role plugin, you need to provide the desired role name, artifact abbreviation, and full artifact name. The skill then uses these inputs to guide you through role-specific details like upstream artifacts and agent responsibilities.

Manually scaffolding role plugins leads to configuration errors due to repetitive template copying and manual updates to project configuration files. Automating this process enforces canonical template patterns and standardizes the artifact workflow to eliminate manual effort and errors.
