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:

1. Validate inputs for scope tightness (flag scope creep if > 2 domains).
2. Use docs/templates/automation/NEW_SPECIALIST.agent.md as baseline.
3. Produce file: agents/<slug>.agent.md (slug: kebab-case of name).
4. Include initialization declaration section.
5. Add only directives relevant to role (choose from existing agents/directives/).
6. Add a brief "First 3 Tasks" bootstrap list in profile.
7. If <STORE_FLAG> = yes: create docs/references/<slug>-refs.md summarizing key sources.
8. 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.
