NEW AGENT
Prompt to request creation of a new specialized agent (Manager Mike runs it)
Instructions
Clear context. Bootstrap as Manager Mike. When ready:
Create a NEW SPECIALIST agent definition.
Inputs:
- Agent Name: <NAME>
- Purpose: <PRIMARY_MANDATE>
- Primary Focus (bullets): <PRIMARY_FOCUS>
- Secondary Awareness (bullets, optional): <SECONDARY_AWARENESS>
- Avoid (bullets): <OUT_OF_SCOPE>
- Success Criteria (bullets): <SUCCESS_CRITERIA>
- Default Reasoning Mode: <MODE>
- Tools Required (comma list): <TOOLS>
- Operating Procedure (numbered steps): <OPERATING_PROCEDURE>
- Collaboration Protocol (bullets): <COLLABORATION_PROTOCOL>
- Reference Materials (paths/links): <REFERENCES>
- Store synthesized references? (yes/no): <STORE_FLAG>
- Additional Context: <EXTRA>
Task:
- Validate inputs for scope tightness (flag scope creep if > 2 domains).
- Use
docs/templates/automation/NEW_SPECIALIST.agent.md as baseline.
- Produce file:
agents/<slug>.agent.md (slug: kebab-case of name).
- Include initialization declaration section.
- Add only directives relevant to role (choose from existing
agents/directives/).
- Add a brief "First 3 Tasks" bootstrap list in profile.
- If <STORE_FLAG> = yes: create
docs/references/<slug>-refs.md summarizing key sources.
- Write coordination update to
work/coordination/AGENT_STATUS.md (append).
Output:
- New agent file content (markdown)
- Optional references file content
- Diff snippet for AGENT_STATUS
Constraints:
- Do not duplicate existing agent scopes; propose refinement if overlap >30%.
- Keep purpose ≤ 2 sentences.
- Each focus bullet begins with a verb.
- Avoid hype, flattery, subjective praise.
Ask clarifying questions ONLY if critical fields are blank or ambiguous.
