SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Streamlines and governance-maps the end-to-end process for creating new Guild specialists, ensuring new domains are incubated with proper boundary checks, gating, and live registration only after passing all evaluation gates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 7-step incubation workflow (Interview, Draft, Boundary scan, Proposed boundary edits, Gate boundary edits, Gate new specialist, Register) to mint new shipping specialists.
  • Generates incubation artifacts under agents/proposed/ and skills/specialists/proposed-<role>-*/ for review, testing, and eventual live deployment.
  • Performs adjacent-boundary analysis to prevent triggers from overlapping with existing specialists and ensures boundary clauses are in place.
  • Enforces gate checks via evolution-evaluation (guild:evolve-skill) and paired evals with shadow-mode before live registration.
  • Maintains auditable extraction signals and reflections in the guild metadata to justify the new role's creation.
  • Tracks handoffs and provides a structured handoff payload on success or rejection.

Quick Start

Provide the new role details and start the create-specialist workflow to mint a live Guild specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions about guild-create-specialist

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create domain-specific agents with evaluation gates before going live?

You can create domain-specific agents by running a gated 7-step workflow that enforces boundary checks and evaluation gates before live registration. This incubation process ensures new specialists pass boundary scans and paired evals in shadow-mode before deployment.

What is a gated workflow for minting new specialists?

A gated workflow for minting specialists is a 7-step process—Interview, Draft, Boundary scan, Proposed boundary edits, Gate boundary edits, Gate new specialist, and Register. It ensures traceable governance by enforcing evaluation gates and boundary checks before a new agent goes live.

How do I prevent trigger overlaps when adding new domain agents?

You prevent trigger overlaps by performing adjacent-boundary analysis during the specialist creation workflow. This analysis ensures new triggers do not overlap with existing specialists and verifies that boundary clauses are properly in place before gating.

Can I use this workflow to generate proposed artifacts for review and testing?

Yes, the workflow generates incubation artifacts under agents/proposed/ and skills/specialists/proposed-<role>-*/ directories. These proposed artifacts are specifically generated for review, testing, and eventual live deployment after passing all evaluation gates.

What happens if a new specialist fails the boundary or evaluation gates?

If a new specialist fails the boundary or evaluation gates, the workflow tracks the handoff and provides a structured handoff payload on rejection. It maintains auditable extraction signals and reflections in the guild metadata to justify the new role's creation or rejection.

Does minting a new specialist require shadow-mode evaluation?

Yes, minting a new specialist requires paired evals with shadow-mode before live registration. The workflow enforces gate checks via evolution-evaluation to ensure the agent meets all governance and boundary requirements before going live.
