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What is the best way to check for outdated AI agents in my orchestration workflow?▼

Checking for outdated AI agents involves comparing current agent versions against the versions defined in your `the-plan.md` specification file, identifying mismatches that require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