create-agent

Skill0 starsChanged 7 months agoMITView on GitHub

Use this skill when creating, modifying, or debugging a custom Copilot agent (.agent.md file). Provides detailed patterns for agent orchestration, handoffs, sub-agent invocation, tool configuration, variable extraction, and prompt structure. Invoke when the user says "create an agent", "add a new agent", "agent handoffs", "sub-agent", or "orchestrate agents".

    deploy-platform

    Deploy this AgentOS using its own provider instructions, configure JWT verification, and verify the public service. Use for first deployment, redeployment, or production configuration changes.

  • agno-agiSkill

    setup-platform

    Set up this AgentOS from a fresh clone — confirm Docker, configure .env, boot the containers, prove the MCP endpoint live, connect the AgentOS UI, then build the user's first agent. Use when the user asks to set up the platform, get started, or bring this repo up on a new machine.

  • ElasticSkill

    create-integration

    Use when creating a new Elastic integration package, scaffolding data streams, answering package layout or structure questions, or running the end-to-end integration build workflow. Covers package topology, scaffold commands, post-scaffold edits, and full orchestration of CEL/pipeline/test subagents.

    improve

    Survey any codebase as a senior advisor and produce prioritized, self-contained implementation plans for OTHER models/agents to execute. Strictly read-only on source code — never implements, fixes, or refactors anything itself. Use when asked to audit a codebase, find improvement opportunities (bugs, security, performance, test coverage, tech debt, migrations, DX), suggest features or where to take the project next (roadmap, product direction), or generate handoff plans for another agent to implement.

  • ElasticSkill

    create-skill

    Interactively create a new Claude Code skill and add it to the elastic-docs-skills catalog. Use when the user wants to generate a new skill, scaffold a slash command, or build automation for docs tasks.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 35 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Create .github/agents/my-agent.agent.md with frontmatter

    line 27
  2. Distinctive:

    Write the body following the Role → Responsibilities → Constraints pattern

    line 28
  3. Very specific:

    Add entry to .github/copilot-catalog.yml with skill_refs and workflow_refs

    line 29

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 35 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Create Agent

Detailed reference for building custom Copilot agents in TTA.dev. For atomic rules (naming, frontmatter, registration), see the agents instruction.

When to Use This Skill

  • Creating a new .agent.md file from scratch
  • Adding handoffs between agents for workflow transitions
  • Setting up sub-agent orchestration (multi-step pipelines)
  • Configuring tool access and MCP server integration
  • Designing agent prompt structure with dynamic variables

Prerequisites

  • Understand the composition model
  • Know which skills and workflows your agent needs (check .github/copilot-catalog.yml)
  • Have the target agent's role and responsibilities defined

Quick Start

  1. Create .github/agents/my-agent.agent.md with frontmatter
  2. Write the body following the Role → Responsibilities → Constraints pattern
  3. Add entry to .github/copilot-catalog.yml with skill_refs and workflow_refs
  4. Validate: uv run python scripts/validate-catalog.py

Reference Docs

  • Handoffs and Orchestration — workflow transitions, sub-agent patterns
  • Tool Configuration — aliases, MCP namespaces, strategies

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
