SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables Swarm to autonomously research, draft, and install new sub-agents when a capability is missing, reducing manual intervention and accelerating capability expansion.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discovers capability gaps across Swarm deployments and proposes new skill designs
  • Researches, drafts, and installs a complete Skill (frontmatter, markdown body, and optional resources)
  • Validates installation by writing to the local skill store and prompting Swarm to reload

Quick Start

Autonomously research, draft, and install a new Swarm skill when a capability is missing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I autonomously create and install new Swarm skills when a capability is missing?

To autonomously create Swarm skills, this skill researches, drafts, and installs a valid SKILL.md file with frontmatter and operational behavior directly into the local skill store, prompting Swarm to reload without manual intervention.

What is the required file structure and frontmatter for a valid Swarm skill installation?

A valid Swarm skill installation requires a SKILL.md file under ~/.config/swarm/skills/<skill_name>/, containing frontmatter with name, description, model, and tools, alongside a Markdown body defining operational behavior and error handling.

Can I use this skill-generation process to expand my Swarm sub-agent catalog across any domain?

Yes, you can use this skill-generation process to expand your Swarm sub-agent catalog across any domain, as it automatically discovers capability gaps, proposes new skill designs, and enables on-demand runtime adaptation.

Does the automated skill-generation process include built-in error handling and self-healing mechanisms?

Yes, the automated skill-generation process includes built-in error handling by drafting a Markdown body that explicitly defines operational behavior and error handling protocols for the newly installed sub-agent.

What's the best way to ensure Swarm reloads after automatically drafting and installing a new sub-agent?

To ensure Swarm reloads after installing a new sub-agent, this skill validates the local skill store installation and automatically prompts Swarm to reload its runtime environment to apply the new capabilities.
