scripts/ — Executable scripts the skill can referencereferences/ — Reference documentsassets/ — Images, static filesagents/ — Skill-specific sub-agentsCreates and configures agent.yaml files, writes SOUL.md personality definitions, and sets up agent directory structures with skills, tools, and knowledge. Use when the user wants to configure an agent, create agent.yaml, write SOUL.md, set up agent directory structure, or customize agent settings.
Converts agent definitions between frameworks — exports to Claude Code, OpenAI, CrewAI, Lyzr, and GitHub Models formats, and imports from Claude, Cursor, and CrewAI projects. Use when the user wants to convert an agent, migrate to another framework, export to LangChain/AutoGen/CrewAI, or import from existing automation tools.
Guides installation of gitagent and creation of first agent with scaffolding, configuration, and validation. Use when the user is new to gitagent, asks how to get started, wants to install gitagent, set up their first agent, or says 'how do I start?'
Configures and runs agents with different adapters including Claude, OpenAI, CrewAI, Lyzr, and GitHub Models. Supports local execution, remote git repos, and one-shot prompts. Use when the user wants to run an agent, switch LLM providers, configure adapter settings, or launch agents from git repositories.
Model selection by provider health, not task complexity. Tier 0 (local) handles most tasks. Paid models are break-glass only. Fallbacks activate on 429 or timeout — never on perceived task difficulty.
Memory integrity audit. Detects hallucinations, circular confirmations, and state poisoning. Runs automatically after 2 consecutive failures or at nightly deep dive. Uses Opus 4.6 as the auditor model.
