Agent Creator
Overview
This skill provides a standardized workflow for designing and implementing specialized agents within the Gemini CLI ecosystem. It ensures that agents have clear roles, precise mandates, optimized toolsets, and consistent configuration.
Workflow
- Define the Scope: Identify the specific domain or task the agent will handle.
- Draft the Frontmatter: Write a clear
name and a single-line description for triggering.
- Configure the Agent: Select necessary
tools and set model, temperature, and max_turns based on the task complexity.
- Design the Persona: Use references/design-principles.md to define a focused role.
- Use the Template: Populate the references/agent-definition-template.md with mandates and guidelines.
- Verify Wiring: Ensure the agent is correctly registered and reachable by the orchestrator.
Quick Start
1. Identify the need
"I need an agent that specifically handles refactoring our gRPC proto files."
2. Use the template
Read references/agent-definition-template.md and copy its content to a new file in .gemini/agents/grpc-expert.md.
3. Apply design principles
Consult references/design-principles.md to ensure the description, tools, and mandate are optimized for agentic orchestration.
Advanced Usage
For complex multi-agent systems, ensure that mandates are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive (MECE) to avoid confusion during delegation.
