What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the challenge of designing and implementing complex AI agents that can scale, remain maintainable, and adapt to evolving business needs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Capability-First Design: Organizes agents around business capabilities rather than technical implementation, promoting modularity and flexibility.
- Bounded Contexts: Ensures each agent has a clear, well-defined scope, reducing cognitive load and enabling independent evolution.
- Cognitive Load Management: Offers guidelines for determining the optimal number of tools and subagents to avoid overwhelming the main agent.
- Agent-Native Principles: Promotes parity between UI features and agent capabilities, granular tool design, and composability for emergent capability.
- Data Architecture: Provides guidance on when to use files versus databases and how to manage context with AGENTS.md files.
- Agent Topologies: Offers patterns for organizing agents into orchestrators, platforms, specialized subsystems, and enabling agents.
- Validation Checklist: Ensures that the architecture meets all necessary criteria before finalization.
- Quick Patterns: Provides templates for common agent architecture patterns, including simple stream-aligned, platform-supported, and domain-specialized.
- Design Process: Guides through mapping business capabilities, defining bounded contexts, designing subagent topology, and defining interaction modes.
- Real-World Examples: Offers practical examples of agent architecture in different domains.
- Capability Maturity: Helps map capability maturity to agent sophistication for continuous improvement.
- Template: Offers a template for new mappings to simplify the process.
Quick Start
Use the create_deep_agent function to design your AI agent, defining its capabilities, bounded contexts, and tools based on the principles outlined in this Skill.
