Agent Creator

This skill provides a structured process for designing and configuring specialized AI Agents.

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:
  1. Create a New Agent: Define a purpose-built agent with specific expertise (e.g., "Make a Frontend Specialist Agent").
  2. Generate System Prompts: Create robust, effective system instructions for an agent.
  3. Assemble Capabilities: Select the right combination of Skills, Workflows, and Rules for a specific domain.
  4. Refine Agent Behavior: specialized tuning of an existing agent's operational guidelines.

Agent Architecture

An Agent in the Antigravity system is defined by a markdown file in
.agent/agents/{name}.md
containing:

1. Frontmatter (Metadata)

  • name
    : Kebab-case identifier (e.g.,
    backend-specialist
    ).
  • description
    : Short summary and trigger keywords.
  • tools
    : List of tools the agent has access to (e.g.,
    Read, Write, Bash
    ).
  • model
    : The model usage strategy (usually
    inherit
    ).
  • skills
    : Comma-separated list of skills from
    .agent/skills/
    this agent needs.

2. Identity & Charter

  • Role: Who the agent is.
  • Philosophy: Core beliefs driving decisions.
  • Mindset: Operational mode and priorities.

3. Critical Guidelines (The "Stop & Ask" Protocol)

  • CRITICAL: CLARIFY BEFORE CODING: A mandatory section forcing the agent to ask clarifying questions before making assumptions about stack, runtime, or tools.

4. Decision Frameworks

  • Tables and logic guides to help the agent make technical decisions (e.g., "Node vs Python", "SQL vs NoSQL").

5. Capabilities & specialized Lists

  • Expertise Areas: Deep dive into specific techs.
  • Quality Control Loop: Mandatory steps to run after every edit.

Workflow: Creating an Agent

Follow these steps to create a new Agent.

Step 1: Define the Goal

Ask the user for the Agent's primary purpose.
  • Prompt: "What is the primary goal of this agent? What domain does it specialize in?"

Step 2: Select Capabilities (Skills)

Analyze the available Skills in
.agent/skills/
to recommend the best set to include in the
skills
frontmatter.
  • Example: A Backend Agent needs
    nodejs-best-practices
    ,
    database-design
    .

Step 3: Draft the Agent Definition

Use the Agent Template in
assets/agent_template.md
as the mandatory base.
  1. Frontmatter: Fill in name, tools, and required skills.
  2. Philosophy & Mindset: Define how the agent thinks, not just what it does.
  3. Critical Clarifications: Define what the agent MUST ask users before starting (e.g., "Which framework?", "Which DB?").
  4. Decision Frameworks: Populate tables with current best practices for the domain.

Step 4: Save the Artifact

Save the file to
.agent/agents/{name}.md
.
  • Ensure the filename matches the
    name
    in frontmatter.

Tools & Resources

Agent Template

Use
assets/agent_template.md
to structure the agent definition. Strictly follow this structure.

Best Practices for specialized Agents

  • Opinionated Defaults: Agents should have strong opinions (Philosophy) but flexible execution (Clarification).
  • Mandatory Checks: Include a "Quality Control Loop" that forces the agent to validate its own work (Lint, Test, Security).
  • Anti-Patterns: Explicitly list what the agent should AVOID.
