agent-add
Create a new Claude Code agent file (review or team type) following the official sub-agent schema and token-efficiency budgets. Use when the user wants to add a new review agent, detect a new category of code issue, create a team agent persona, or says things like "add an agent for X", "create a reviewer for Y", "new team agent for Z". Also use when given a URL to a coding standard that should become a review agent.

# Agent Add
Role: implementation.
## Implementation constraints
1. Follow the official sub-agent schema and token budgets.
2. Delegate the build to the agent-create skill; do not improvise structure.
3. **Be concise.** Report the created agent file, no narration.
## Steps
### 1. Parse arguments
Capture the agent name/spec or URL from `$ARGUMENTS`.
### 2. Delegate
Invoke the agent-create skill with the arguments.
### 3. Report
Output the created file path.
Apply the guidelines defined in skills/agent-create/SKILL.md to the current
task. Read the skill file and follow its steps exactly.
If `$ARGUMENTS` starts with `http://` or `https://`, fetch the URL with
WebFetch first and extract the relevant guidance, then use that content as
the agent description.
Pass these flags through to the skill as context:
- `--plugin <dir>` → target plugin directory (resolved by agent-create Step 0)
- `--name <name>` → set agent name (skips name prompt)
- `--type review|team` → set agent type (skips type prompt)
- `--model sonnet|opus|haiku|fable|inherit|<full model ID>` → sets the agent's model (invalid values rejected against agent-contract.json)
- `--effort low|medium|high|xhigh|max` → sets the agent's reasoning effort (invalid values rejected against agent-contract.json)
- `--memory user|project|local` / `--isolation worktree` / `--color <color>` / `--max-turns <int>` / `--background true|false` / `--skills <name1,name2,...>` → optional native fields, no forced defaults
- `--context diff-only|full-file|project-structure` → sets `Context needs:` field
- `--lang <exts>` → adds language scope declaration to the body
- `--dry` → show generated content without writing to disk or updating registry
