FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a production-ready agent directory with config.yaml and AGENTS.md?

Scaffold a production-ready agent directory by applying predefined templates to generate a validated config.yaml, AGENTS.md, and optional nested skills. This ensures required YAML frontmatter and template sections are consistently produced.

What files are required when generating an agent scaffold for multi-agent systems?

Generating an agent scaffold requires a config.yaml and an AGENTS.md file. The config.yaml must include YAML frontmatter fields like name, description, and spec_version, along with template sections for llm, tools, and instructions.

Can I add custom skills to a generated agent directory template?

Yes, you can add custom skills to a generated agent directory. The templates are extensible and include specific guidance for adding nested skills and sub-agents, allowing patterns to scale from simple to complex multi-agent systems.

What is the best way to standardize agent instructions and system prompts across multiple agents?

Standardize agent instructions and system prompts by using template-driven scaffolding to generate directories. This approach provides consistent prompts and sample configurations, accelerating onboarding and ensuring production-readiness across multiple agents.

Does agent scaffolding validate required YAML frontmatter fields automatically?

Yes, agent scaffolding validates required YAML frontmatter fields automatically. It ensures that essential fields like name, description, and spec_version, along with template sections for llm, tools, and instructions, are consistently produced and validated.
