FAQPage Schema
How do I automate rebuilding AI agents from a specification file?

To automate rebuilding AI agents, define your agent specifications in `the-plan.md` and use the skill to parse these specs, build `AGENT.md` files, and cross-check consistency automatically.

What is the best way to check for outdated AI agents in my orchestration workflow?

Checking for outdated AI agents involves comparing current agent versions against the versions defined in your `the-plan.md` specification file, identifying mismatches that require regeneration.

How does agent regeneration work when specifications are updated?

Agent regeneration works by researching the updated specifications in `the-plan.md`, rebuilding the targeted agent `AGENT.md` files, and cross-checking the outputs to ensure consistency across the orchestration management system.

Can I force-rebuild all agents at once instead of updating specific ones?

Yes, you can force-rebuild all agents at once; the skill supports rebuilding specific agents based on `the-plan.md` updates or executing a complete force-rebuild of every agent.

Do I need any dependencies to manage agent versions with this approach?

No dependencies are required to manage agent versions; the skill operates independently using your `the-plan.md` specification file to determine and orchestrate the necessary agent rebuilds.
