New Agent (Compatibility)

Create mdflow-backed agent files for Script Kit. For new reusable AI work, prefer creating a skill (skills/<name>/SKILL.md) under the appropriate plugin instead — skills are first-class main-menu launchables that open Agent Chat.

Where Agents Live

~/.scriptkit/plugins/main/agents/*.md

Filename Rules

Filename	Meaning
review.claude.md	Claude backend
plan.agy.md	AGY backend

Script Kit Metadata Keys

Use underscore-prefixed keys so Script Kit metadata does not leak to backend CLI flags.

• _sk_name
• _sk_description
• _sk_icon
• _sk_alias
• _sk_shortcut

mdflow System Keys

• _inputs
• _interactive or _i
• _cwd
• _env
• _command

Minimal Template

---
_sk_name: "Review PR"
_sk_description: "Review staged changes and call out risks"
_sk_icon: "git-pull-request"
model: sonnet
---

Review the current git diff.

Return:
1. findings ordered by severity
2. concrete fixes
3. tests to add

Interactive Template

---
_sk_name: "Plan Feature"
_sk_description: "Turn a feature request into an implementation plan"
_sk_icon: "map"
_interactive: true
_inputs:
  feature_name:
    type: text
    message: "Feature name?"
  risk_tolerance:
    type: select
    message: "Risk tolerance?"
    choices: ["low", "medium", "high"]
model: gemini-2.0-flash
---

Create an implementation plan for {{ feature_name }}.

Risk tolerance: {{ risk_tolerance }}.

Include:
- files to change
- data flow
- tests to add
- rollback plan

Common Mistakes

• Do not put agent files in scripts/
• Do not use export const metadata
• Do not omit the backend suffix when you want a specific CLI
