tool-creator

Create tool specifications for the Strands SDK by defining tool anatomy, input parameters, and implementation logic. The skill guides you through automatic tool type detection, validation, and code scaffolding to generate ready-to-run Python tool modules in src/tools with supporting prompts in src/prompts.

Agent-as-a-Tool wraps complex, multi-step agents as reusable tools for other agents, enabling hierarchical automation. Regular tools are simple function-based implementations for direct operations like API calls or file handling. The skill detects your use case and generates the appropriate structure automatically.

Yes. Define your tool's purpose, input parameters (like file paths), and output format. The skill scaffolds the Python module and generates prompts to guide the agent's extraction logic, producing ready-to-deploy tools that integrate directly into your Strands SDK agent system.

No. The skill enforces automatic code scaffolding and template generation. You specify tool metadata and requirements; it produces ready-to-run Python modules and supporting prompts without manual boilerplate, reducing errors and setup time.

Custom tools add specialized functions—like data extraction, API integration, or file handling—to agents. The skill simplifies tool creation and deployment so agents access the right capabilities to automate diverse complex tasks without building functionality from scratch.
