What problem does it solve?

Managing AI agents from creation to maintenance can be complex, leading to inconsistent roles, misalignment, and debugging challenges. This skill streamlines the entire agent lifecycle, ensuring agents are well-defined, aligned, and easily maintainable.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Agent Lifecycle Management: Provides a 7-step workflow for creating, reviewing, debugging, and maintaining Claude Code agents.
• Schema Validation: Automatically validates agent frontmatter against the official Claude Code schema from docs.claude.com, preventing errors and ensuring compliance.
• Alignment Framework: Supports custom alignment metadata (objective functions, constraints, termination conditions) to define agent responsibilities and prevent scope creep.
• Thin Wrapper Architecture: Promotes portable agent design where agents are thin wrappers to reusable skill workflows, enhancing maintainability and token efficiency.
• Use Case: When developing a new specialized agent, use this skill to initialize it with a template, validate its structure, define its alignment, and ensure it follows best practices for integration and performance.
