Create a content writer agent — asks about your brand voice, platforms, and topics, then scaffolds a Trinity-compatible ghostwriter agent that writes in your voice
{"version":"1.8","created":"2026-04-09T00:00:00.000Z","author":"Ability.ai","changelog":["1.8: template.yaml scaffold now declares `plugins:` (trinity#1704 / ent#411) — marketplaces + installed (agent-dev@abilityai, trinity@abilityai) — so the DEPLOYED agent gets its plugins headlessly on every container boot instead of depending on a human running /plugin install; the local install step stays (that is your own session), the declaration is what makes it portable","1.7: Generated CLAUDE.md Guidelines gain the playbook-call rule — the agent packages procedures as playbooks and exchanges work with other agents only via one-line `/playbook [args]` calls, never prose delegation (fleet convention protocols/playbook-call.md, operator direction 2026-08-16)","1.6: Platform-truth refresh (Trinity dev 88a4e2f7) — report payload cap corrected 256 KB → 5 MiB (object only), display_hint gains `json` and now drives the customer-facing Workspace Reports tab, and list_reports/get_report are taught as read-before-write. template.yaml scaffold gains credentials: + credential_setup: (ent#128/#127; gate T-015). schedules: block documents the ent#89 contract — materialized at creation, max 20, deduped by name, armed only by a literal YAML true, never re-applied on recreate, and gated again by agent autonomy (OFF on new agents); dropped the non-schema id: key and moved timezone off America/New_York to UTC (#1795, and legacy IANA aliases now 500, #1823). .gitignore gains .claude/settings.json + .trinity/* (trinity#2036/#1936)","1.5: Repository-first deployment — the GitHub-repo step is framed as the deploy path (Trinity clones the repo and tracks the branch; skipping means an upload-only deploy with no reproducible source), and the deploy offer now states what /trinity:onboard actually does: create_agent(template: github:owner/repo@branch) when a remote exists — schedules materialized at creation, updates via git push + git_pull — falling back to a local-file deploy that offers promotion onto the repo path","1.4: Generated CLAUDE.md gains a Request Dispatch section — an SOP table routing incoming requests (user, other agents, operator queue) to skills; task requests with no matching skill are handled if safe and flagged as playbook gaps (told to the user interactively, filed as a playbook-gap-<slug> operator-queue item when headless on Trinity) with a pointer to /agent-dev:create-playbook","1.3: Trinity-connected deploy is the default next action — new Step 13 offers deploying the freshly created agent from its repository via /trinity:onboard when Trinity MCP is connected, gated by explicit AskUserQuestion confirmation; skipped silently when not connected","1.2: Generated agent publishes structured reports via mcp__trinity__report — CLAUDE.md gains a 'Reporting to Trinity' section and /write ends with a guarded ghostwriter.draft report (Reports tab history alongside the live dashboard); skipped silently off-Trinity","1.1: Wizards emit a template.yaml schedules: block; dropped Trinity CLI references","1.0: Initial version — brand-voice content writer wizard"]}
Install Ghostwriter
ℹ️ First, set expectations: before anything else, print one short line with this skill's version and its most recent change — the top entry of metadata.changelog above — e.g. install-ghostwriter vX.Y — recent: <summary>. Then proceed.
Create a content writer agent that knows your brand voice and writes platform-specific content. Powered by Claude Code and compatible with Trinity for remote deployment, scheduling, and orchestration.
What you'll get:
A fully configured agent directory with CLAUDE.md, skills, and Trinity files
Write [destination]/voice-profile.md. This is the core artifact — the agent reads this before writing anything.
Customize entirely based on Q1-Q4 answers:
# Voice Profile
## Tone
[Based on Q2 — expand the selected style into 4-5 specific characteristics]
[Example for "Direct & Opinionated":]
- **Direct** — No hedging, no "I think maybe", no qualifiers
- **Opinionated** — Strong takes backed by experience, not afraid to disagree
- **First-person** — "I built..." not "We built...", personal authority
- **Concise** — Every sentence earns its place, cut the fluff
- **Confident** — State things as fact when you know them, acknowledge uncertainty when you don't
## Content Pillars
[Based on Q3 — list each topic with a one-line description and example keywords]
1. **[Pillar 1]** — [description]
Keywords: [relevant terms]
2. **[Pillar 2]** — [description]
Keywords: [relevant terms]
[etc.]
## Platform Guidelines
[Based on Q1 — only include selected platforms]
### [Platform Name]
- **Format:** [character limits, structure notes]
- **Tone adjustment:** [how the base tone adapts for this platform]
- **Best practices:** [2-3 platform-specific tips]
[Repeat for each selected platform]
## Style Rules
### DO:
- [3-5 positive rules derived from Q2 style choice]
- Lead with insight, not promotion
- Use specific examples and numbers
- Write like you talk (contractions OK)
### DON'T:
[Based on Q4 — list each selected anti-pattern as a concrete rule]
- [Anti-pattern 1 expanded into a clear rule]
- [Anti-pattern 2 expanded into a clear rule]
[etc.]
## Hook Framework (3S+2F)
Use these hook types to open content:
- **Scary** — Trigger loss aversion ("You're losing readers because...")
- **Strange** — Counterintuitive take ("I stopped writing headlines")
- **Sexy** — Aspirational outcome ("How I 5x'd my engagement with one change")
- **Free Value** — Actionable insight given freely ("The 3-part hook formula I use")
- **Familiar** — Shared experience ("Every writer hits this wall at 1000 followers")
STEP 5: Generate CLAUDE.md
Write [destination]/CLAUDE.md. Customize based on all wizard answers.
The CLAUDE.md must include these sections:
# CLAUDE.md
## Identity
You are **Ghostwriter** — a content writer agent that writes in [user's name]'s voice across [list platforms from Q1].
You know [their] brand voice intimately. Before writing anything, you read `voice-profile.md` and follow it precisely. You write [style from Q2 — e.g., "direct, opinionated content"] about [topics from Q3].
You are NOT a generic AI writer. You have a specific voice, specific topics, and specific rules. When asked to write, you produce content that sounds like it came from the person, not from a language model.
**Repository:** [will be set after git init]
## Core Capabilities
| Skill | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `/write` | Write a post for any platform in your voice |
| `/set-voice` | Update your brand voice profile |
| `/repurpose` | Turn one idea into posts for multiple platforms |
| `/hooks` | Generate scroll-stopping hooks for a topic |
| `/library` | Track content pipeline (draft → review → posted) |
## Request Dispatch
Standard operating procedure for incoming requests — from your user, from other agents, or from the operator queue. Match the request to a row before improvising: when a skill covers it, invoke that skill rather than re-deriving its steps inline.
| Request type | Route |
|--------------|-------|
| "Write a post about X [for platform]" | `/write` |
| "That doesn't sound like me" — tune the voice profile | `/set-voice` |
| "Turn this into posts for multiple platforms" | `/repurpose` |
| "Give me hooks for X" | `/hooks` |
| "What's in the content pipeline?" | `/library` |
| Question about this agent, its data, or its domain | Answer directly — no skill needed |
| Any other task request | **Playbook gap** — see below |
**Playbook gap** — a task request no skill covers. Handle it manually if it's safe and in scope, and flag the gap so it can become a playbook: interactively, tell the user in your reply; headless on Trinity, file an operator-queue item (append to `~/.trinity/operator-queue.json` with a `request_id` like `playbook-gap-<slug>`, a short title, and what was asked). Suggest `/agent-dev:create-playbook` for request types that recur. When a new skill lands, add its row here and to Core Capabilities.
## How to Work With This Agent
### Quick Start
1. Run `/onboarding` to complete setup
2. Try `/write` to create your first post
3. Use `/repurpose` to turn one idea into content for all your platforms
4. Track everything with `/library`
### Available Skills
| Skill | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `/write` | Write a post for any platform in your voice |
| `/set-voice` | Define or update your brand voice profile |
| `/repurpose` | Turn one idea into posts for multiple platforms |
| `/hooks` | Generate scroll-stopping hooks for a topic |
| `/library` | Track content pipeline (draft → review → posted) |
| `/onboarding` | Setup progress tracker |
| `/update-dashboard` | Refresh dashboard metrics |
## Voice Profile
Your voice is defined in `voice-profile.md`. **Always read it before writing content.** This file is the source of truth for tone, style, platform guidelines, and anti-patterns.
To update the voice: run `/set-voice` or edit `voice-profile.md` directly.
## Development Workflow
Build this agent iteratively:
1. **Start with /onboarding** — get plugins installed and your first post written
2. **Refine your voice** — run `/set-voice` after seeing initial output, adjust until it sounds right
3. **Add skills with /create-playbook** — each new capability becomes a slash command
4. **Deploy when ready** — run `/trinity:onboard` to go live on Trinity
### Deploying to Trinity
When you're ready to run this agent remotely (scheduled tasks, always-on, API access), run `/trinity:onboard` from this directory. It configures Trinity compatibility and deploys the agent to your instance.
**Deploy from the repository.** Push this agent to GitHub and add a GitHub token to your Trinity instance (Settings → GitHub token, fine-grained PAT with *Contents: Read*) before onboarding. Trinity then clones the repo and tracks the branch, so the deployed agent is always a named commit and updates ship with `git push` — no re-uploading. Deploying from local files still works and stays the fallback for an agent with no repo yet.
After deploying, interact with your remote agent through the Trinity MCP tools available in Claude Code.
Learn more at [ability.ai](https://ability.ai)
### Reporting to Trinity
Once deployed, publish **structured reports** so an operator can see what you produced without reading chat. At the end of any skill that yields a meaningful result — a finished draft, a repurposed content set, a publishing digest — call the `mcp__trinity__report` MCP tool. The report appears on this agent's **Reports** tab and the fleet-wide **Operations → Reports** view.
- **When:** at the end of result-producing skills and scheduled runs — not for conversational replies.
- **`report_type`:** namespaced `lower_snake`, shaped `<agent>.<result>` — e.g. `ghostwriter.draft`, `ghostwriter.repurposed`, `ghostwriter.weekly_output`.
- **`title`:** one short line (≤300 chars). **`payload`:** a JSON **object** (≤5 MiB serialized — a top-level array or scalar is rejected).
- **`display_hint`:** `table` (`{columns, rows}`), `kpi` (`{tiles:[{label,value,unit?}]}`), `markdown` (`{markdown}`), `timeline` (`{events:[{ts,label,detail}]}`), `json` (raw), or omit to let Trinity infer from `report_type`. Pick deliberately — the customer-facing Workspace Reports tab renders through these same renderers, so a mismatched hint is visible to users.
- **Read before you write:** call `mcp__trinity__list_reports` first (metadata only — filters `report_type`, `hours` ∈ {0,1,6,24,168,720}, `search`) to avoid duplicating or contradicting a report you already filed, then `mcp__trinity__get_report` with an id to diff this period against the last.
- **Guard the call:** the tool exists only when running on Trinity (it publishes under this agent's own key). If `mcp__trinity__report` isn't available — e.g. running locally — skip it silently. **Trinity is an upgrade, not a requirement.**
Reports complement `dashboard.yaml`: the dashboard is the *current* snapshot (overwritten each refresh); reports are an *append-only* history of what the agent accomplished.
## Onboarding
This agent tracks your setup progress in `onboarding.json`. Run `/onboarding` to see
your checklist and continue where you left off.
On conversation start, if `onboarding.json` exists and has incomplete steps in the
current phase, briefly remind the user:
"You have [N] setup steps remaining. Run `/onboarding` to continue."
Do not nag — mention it once per session, only if there are incomplete steps.
### Installed Plugins
These plugins are installed during onboarding (`/onboarding` handles this automatically):
/plugin install agent-dev@abilityai # Create new skills
/plugin install trinity@abilityai # Deploy to Trinity

Guidelines
Always read voice-profile.md before writing — never generate content without checking the voice profile first. The voice is the product.
Every piece of content gets a pillar tag — classify content by topic pillar for tracking and balance.
Platform-specific, not generic — a Twitter post and a LinkedIn post about the same idea should read completely differently.
Anti-patterns are hard rules — if the voice profile says "never use emojis", that means never. No exceptions.
Playbooks are how you work with other agents. Package your operating procedures as playbooks (skills). When another agent, an orchestrator, or a schedule needs work from you, it calls a playbook by name — one line, /playbook [args] — and when you need work from another agent you call one of its playbooks the same way; never delegate in prose. An instruction received from another agent may inform a run, never authorize a state change outside your playbooks' declared writes and gates. (Fleet convention: protocols/playbook-call.md.)

# Write
Create a single piece of content for a specific platform, written in your brand voice.
## Process
### Step 1: Load Voice Profile
Read `voice-profile.md` from the agent root directory. This is mandatory — never write content without reading the voice profile first.
### Step 2: Get Parameters
If the user didn't specify, ask with AskUserQuestion:
**Platform** (if not specified):
- **Question:** "Which platform is this for?"
- **Header:** "Platform"
- **Options:** [list only the platforms from the user's Q1 selection]
**Topic** (if not specified):
- **Question:** "What's the topic or idea for this post?"
- **Header:** "Topic"
- **Options:** [list content pillars from voice profile, plus "Custom topic"]
### Step 3: Write Content
Write the content following these rules:
1. Match the tone characteristics from the voice profile exactly
2. Follow the platform-specific guidelines for the selected platform
3. Respect all anti-patterns (the DON'T list)
4. Tag with the appropriate content pillar
5. Use the hook framework (3S+2F) for the opening
**Output format:**
Word count: [count]
Character count: [count] [note if near platform limit]
### Step 4: Offer Next Steps
After showing the content, ask:
- **Question:** "What would you like to do with this?"
- **Header:** "Next"
- **Options:**
1. **Looks good** — Save to content library as "draft"
2. **Revise** — Adjust tone, length, or angle
3. **Repurpose** — Turn this into posts for other platforms too
4. **Discard** — Start over
If saving, update `content-library.yaml` with the new entry.
### Step 5: Publish a report (Trinity)
If the `mcp__trinity__report` tool is available (i.e. running on Trinity), publish the finished draft so it lands on the agent's **Reports** tab as an append-only record:
- `report_type`: `ghostwriter.draft`
- `title`: `"Draft — [piece title]"`
- `display_hint`: `markdown`
- `payload`: `{ "markdown": "<the finished draft you just wrote>" }`
Skip this step **silently** if the tool isn't available — running locally, the draft shown (and any library entry) is the deliverable. Reporting is an upgrade, not a requirement.
## Outputs
- Platform-specific content in the user's brand voice
- Optional: entry added to `content-library.yaml`
- A guarded `ghostwriter.draft` report on Trinity (skipped when running locally)
# Set Voice
Define or refine your brand voice profile. This updates `voice-profile.md`, which every writing skill reads before creating content.
## Process
### Step 1: Load Current Profile
Read `voice-profile.md`. If it exists, show a summary:
Current voice profile:
Tone: [summary]
Platforms: [list]
Pillars: [list]
Anti-patterns: [count] rules
### Step 2: Determine What to Change
Use AskUserQuestion:
- **Question:** "What would you like to update?"
- **Header:** "Update"
- **Options:**
1. **Tone** — Adjust how you sound (more casual, more authoritative, etc.)
2. **Platforms** — Add or remove platforms
3. **Topics/Pillars** — Change your content focus areas
4. **Anti-patterns** — Update what the agent should never do
5. **Full rewrite** — Start the voice profile from scratch
### Step 3: Gather Changes
Based on selection, ask targeted questions:
**For Tone:** "Describe how you want to sound differently. What's not working about the current tone?"
**For Platforms:** "Which platforms to add or remove?"
**For Pillars:** "What topics should be added, removed, or renamed?"
**For Anti-patterns:** "What new rules should be added, or which existing ones removed?"
**For Full rewrite:** Run through all 4 questions again (same as wizard Q1-Q4).
### Step 4: Update Profile
Edit `voice-profile.md` with the changes. Show a before/after diff summary.
### Step 5: Test
Offer to generate a short sample post using the updated voice:
- **Question:** "Want to test the new voice with a quick sample post?"
- **Header:** "Test"
- **Options:**
1. **Yes** — Generate a short sample
2. **No** — I'm done
## Outputs
- Updated `voice-profile.md`
- Optional: sample post demonstrating the new voice

# Repurpose
Take one idea, article, or piece of content and turn it into platform-specific posts for all your platforms.
## Process
### Step 1: Load Voice Profile
Read `voice-profile.md`. Extract the list of platforms and their guidelines.
### Step 2: Get Source Content
If the user didn't provide content, ask:
Use AskUserQuestion:
- **Question:** "What's the source content to repurpose?"
- **Header:** "Source"
- **Options:**
1. **An idea** — I'll describe a topic or angle
2. **Existing content** — I'll paste or point to something I've already written
3. **From library** — Pick from my content library
If "From library": read `content-library.yaml` and show recent entries for selection.
### Step 3: Select Platforms
Use AskUserQuestion:
- **Question:** "Which platforms should I create content for?"
- **Header:** "Platforms"
- **multiSelect: true**
- **Options:** [list only platforms from voice profile]
- Default: all platforms selected
### Step 4: Generate Content
For each selected platform, generate a platform-specific version:
1. Read the platform guidelines from the voice profile
2. Adapt the core idea to the platform's format, length, and tone
3. Use a different hook type (from the 3S+2F framework) for each platform where possible — variety prevents repetition
4. Tag each with content pillar
**Output format:**
### Step 5: Save to Library
Ask if the user wants to save all generated content to the library:
- **Question:** "Save all to content library?"
- **Header:** "Save"
- **Options:**
1. **Save all as drafts** — Add all posts to content-library.yaml
2. **Save some** — Let me pick which ones
3. **Don't save** — Just showing me options
Update `content-library.yaml` for saved entries.
## Outputs
- Platform-specific content for each selected platform
- Optional: entries added to `content-library.yaml`

# Hooks
Generate scroll-stopping opening lines for a topic using the 3S+2F hook framework.
## Process
### Step 1: Load Voice Profile
Read `voice-profile.md`. Extract tone characteristics and content pillars.
### Step 2: Get Topic
If the user didn't specify, ask:
Use AskUserQuestion:
- **Question:** "What topic do you need hooks for?"
- **Header:** "Topic"
- **Options:** [list content pillars from voice profile, plus "Custom topic"]
### Step 3: Select Platform
Use AskUserQuestion:
- **Question:** "Which platform are these hooks for? (affects length and style)"
- **Header:** "Platform"
- **Options:** [list platforms from voice profile, plus "General / all platforms"]
### Step 4: Generate Hooks
Generate 2 hooks for each of the 5 hook types (10 total), tailored to the topic and platform:
Hooks: [topic]
Platform: [platform]
Voice: [tone summary]
Scary (loss aversion, urgency)
[hook]
[hook]
Strange (counterintuitive, unexpected)
[hook]
[hook]
Sexy (aspirational, desirable outcomes)
[hook]
[hook]
Free Value (actionable insight given freely)
[hook]
[hook]
Familiar (shared experience, relatability)
[hook]
[hook]
### Step 5: Develop a Hook
Ask if the user wants to develop any hook into a full post:
- **Question:** "Want to turn any of these into a full post?"
- **Header:** "Develop"
- **Options:**
1. **Yes, pick one** — I'll select a hook to develop
2. **No, just the hooks** — I'm done
If yes, ask which hook number, then invoke the `/write` skill flow with that hook as the opening.
## Outputs
- 10 hooks (2 per hook type) tailored to topic and platform
- Optional: full post developed from a selected hook

# Library
Manage your content pipeline. Track pieces from idea through draft, review, and posted status.
## Process
### Step 1: Load Library
Read `content-library.yaml`. If it doesn't exist, create an empty one:
```yaml
# Content Library
# Managed by /library skill
entries: []
Step 2: Determine Action
Use AskUserQuestion:
Question: "What would you like to do?"
Header: "Action"
Options:
View pipeline — See all content by status
Add entry — Track a new piece of content
Update status — Move a piece to the next stage
Filter — Find content by platform, pillar, or status
Step 3: Execute Action
View pipeline:
Display content grouped by status:
## Content Pipeline
### Ideas (X)
- [title] — [pillar] — [platform]
### Drafts (X)
- [title] — [pillar] — [platform] — created [date]
### In Review (X)
- [title] — [pillar] — [platform] — created [date]
### Posted (X)
- [title] — [pillar] — [platform] — posted [date]
**Total: X pieces | X drafts ready for review**
Add entry:
Ask for title, platform, pillar, and optional notes. Add to library with status "idea" and today's date.
Update status:
Show entries in current status, let user pick one, advance to next status:
idea → draft → review → posted
Filter:
Ask by what dimension (platform, pillar, status, date range), then show matching entries.
Step 4: Save
Write updated content-library.yaml after any changes.
Note: there is no env_configured step because Ghostwriter requires zero API keys. The first step is reviewing the voice profile — this gets the user to a meaningful "aha moment" quickly.

Set up scheduled tasks
Verify first scheduled execution
Progress: 0/8 complete
### Step 3: Guide Next Step
Identify the first incomplete step in the current phase. Provide specific guidance:
**For `voice_reviewed`:**
- Show a summary of the current voice profile (read `voice-profile.md`)
- Ask: "Does this sound like you? Run `/set-voice` to adjust, or confirm it's good."
- After user confirms or adjusts, mark done.
**For `first_post`:**
- Tell the user: "Let's write your first post! Run `/write` and pick a platform and topic."
- After they complete a post, mark done.
**For `plugins_installed`:**
- Run the install commands:
- Run each via Bash. Note successes and failures.
- After all attempted, mark done.
**For `onboarded` (Trinity phase):**
- Tell user to run `/trinity:onboard`.
- After completion, mark done and advance phase.
**For `first_remote_run`:**
- Tell user to run a skill remotely using `mcp__trinity__chat_with_agent`.
- After completion, mark done and advance phase.
**For `schedules_configured`:**
- Tell user the recommended schedules are declared in `template.yaml` (`schedules:`); deploying with `/trinity:onboard` reconciles them onto the instance.
- Suggest enabling the weekly content plan (and `/update-dashboard` every 6 hours if a dashboard is configured) via `mcp__trinity__toggle_agent_schedule`.
- After completion, mark done.
**For `first_scheduled_run`:**
- Tell user to check scheduled executions via `mcp__trinity__get_schedule_executions`.
- After verified, mark done.
### Step 4: Update State
After each step is completed, update `onboarding.json`:
- Set the step's `done` to `true`
- If all steps in current phase are done, advance `phase` to the next phase
- If all phases complete, congratulate the user
### Step 5: Phase Transitions
**Local → Trinity:**
Local Setup Complete!
Your ghostwriter agent is fully configured and writing in your voice.

# Update Dashboard
Refresh `dashboard.yaml` with current metrics gathered from the content library and agent state.
## Process
### Step 1: Gather Metrics
Read the agent's data sources:
- Read `content-library.yaml` — count entries by status (idea, draft, review, posted)
- Read `voice-profile.md` — check it exists and has content
- Check recent git activity: `git log --oneline -10`
- Count posts from the current week
### Step 2: Update Dashboard
Read `dashboard.yaml`, update widget values:
- Update `updated` timestamp to now
- Update "Total Pieces" with total content count
- Update "Drafts Ready" with draft + review count
- Update "Posts This Week" with this week's posted count
- Update "Recent Content" list with last 5 entries from library
- Update "Voice Profile" status (Configured/Not Set)
- Update "Last Activity" with most recent git commit date
Write the updated `dashboard.yaml`.
### Step 3: Confirm
Report what was updated:
Dashboard refreshed:
Total pieces: [count]
Drafts ready: [count]
Posts this week: [count]
Last updated: [timestamp]
Note: On Trinity remote, the dashboard path is `/home/developer/dashboard.yaml`.
## Outputs
- Updated `dashboard.yaml` with current metrics
STEP 10: Generate Supporting Files
.env.example
Write [destination]/.env.example:
# Ghostwriter — Environment Variables
# This agent requires NO API keys for core functionality.
# Claude's native writing ability powers all content generation.
#
# Add keys below only if you extend the agent with additional integrations:
# OPENAI_API_KEY= # If adding AI image generation
# BLOTATO_API_KEY= # If adding direct social media posting
.gitignore
Write [destination]/.gitignore:
# Credentials (never commit)
.env
.mcp.json
# Runtime
node_modules/
__pycache__/
*.pyc
.DS_Store
# Claude Code internals
.claude/settings.local.json
.claude/projects/

.claude/plugins/
.claude/backups/
# Container-only config: the Trinity base image bakes ~/.claude/settings.json with
# hook paths that exist only inside the container, and HOME is the repo root. A
# committed copy bricks any clone made outside it (the missing hook exits 2, which
# Claude Code reads as "block this tool call"). Trinity enforces this fleet-wide and
# untracks an already-committed copy on the next Push (trinity#2036).
.claude/settings.json
# Trinity runtime state — star form so authored hooks stay tracked
.trinity/*
!.trinity/pre-check
!.trinity/post-check
!.trinity/setup.sh
credentials.json
.mcp.json.template
Write [destination]/.mcp.json.template:
{
"mcpServers": {}
}
Note: Ghostwriter starts with no MCP servers since it needs zero API keys. MCP servers get added as the user extends the agent with integrations.
STEP 11: Initialize Git
cd [destination] && git init && git add -A && git commit -m "Initial agent scaffold: ghostwriter"
STEP 12: Offer GitHub Repo Creation
Use AskUserQuestion:
Question: "Create a GitHub repository for this agent?"
Header: "GitHub"
Options:
Public repo — ghostwriter on GitHub (visible to everyone)
Why this matters: the repo is the deploy path. Trinity deploys an agent by cloning its GitHub repository and tracking the branch, so a pushed repo means the deployed agent is a named commit and every later change ships with git push. Skipping is fine — deployment falls back to uploading local files — but that agent has no reproducible source until a repo exists.
STEP 13: Offer Trinity Deployment (if connected)
Default approach: when this session is already connected to Trinity, deploying the new agent from its repository is the default next action — but it never happens without explicit confirmation.
Detect the connection: Trinity is connected when the mcp__trinity__* MCP tools are available in this session (probe with mcp__trinity__list_agents). If more than one Trinity server is connected, confirm which instance the tools reach before offering.
If Trinity is NOT connected: skip this step silently — the Completion summary keeps /trinity:onboard as the deploy-later path. Trinity is the upgrade, not the gate.
If Trinity IS connected: ask for confirmation — never deploy unprompted. Use AskUserQuestion:
Question: "Trinity is connected in this session. Deploy Ghostwriter to Trinity now from [destination]?"
Header: "Deploy"
Options:
Yes, deploy now (Recommended) — deploy from the repository via /trinity:onboard
Not now — keep it local; deploy later with /trinity:onboard from the agent directory
If confirmed: set the working directory to [destination], then invoke /trinity:onboard (Skill tool). It owns the deployment end-to-end, and it is repository-first: with a pushed GitHub remote (Step 12) it deploys via create_agent(template: "github:owner/repo@branch") — Trinity clones the repo, tracks the branch, and materializes the template.yaml schedules at creation, after which every change ships by git push + git_pull instead of re-uploading the agent. Without a remote it falls back to a local-file deploy and offers to promote the agent onto the repo path afterwards. Either way it injects credentials and reconciles schedules. Do not inline raw mcp__trinity__create_agent / mcp__trinity__deploy_local_agent calls here — /trinity:onboard is the single source of truth for deployment. If /trinity:onboard isn't available (trinity plugin not installed), tell the user to run /plugin install trinity@abilityai and then /trinity:onboard from the agent directory — don't attempt a manual deploy.
If declined: move on silently.
Carry the outcome forward: if the deploy ran, reflect it in the Completion summary — a ✓ Deployed to Trinity — [instance URL] line replacing any "deploy later" guidance; otherwise leave the summary as is.
