SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Adding a new agent to an AgentOS platform normally requires writing the agent file, registering it in the app entrypoint, updating the manifest, restarting containers, and verifying it works — a multi-step process prone to import errors and misconfiguration. This Skill automates that entire workflow, including building knowledge-only product agents grounded in a product's documentation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided agent creation: Runs discovery or takes a concrete idea, then generates agents/slug.py, registers it in app/main.py, adds a manifest entry with quick prompts, restarts the container, and smoke-tests the result. - Product agent pattern: Ingests a product's website or docs into a product knowledge base and builds a knowledge-only agent with strict anti-hallucination guarantees (citation-only answers, grounded refusals). - Verified toolkit grounding: Searches Agno docs for toolkit imports and verifies every import inside the Docker container before writing code, preventing dead platforms from missing packages. - Use Case: A user says "build me an agent for Acme's docs" — the Skill ingests up to 50 documentation pages, generates the agent file, registers it, and validates it with covered, out-of-scope, and off-topic probes. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a new agent for a named task or product, for example by saying "create an agent that reviews GitHub pull requests" or "build an agent for https://docs.example.com".

Frequently Asked Questions about create-agent

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add a new agent to an Agno AgentOS platform?▼

Describe the agent you want or name a product, and the Skill generates the agent file in agents/, registers it in app/main.py, adds a manifest entry, restarts the backend container, and smoke-tests it with a real run request.

How do I build a product knowledge agent from documentation?▼

Provide the product's docs URL and the Skill ingests up to 50 sitemap pages into the product knowledge base using the platform's ingestion function, then creates a knowledge-only agent with instructions that enforce citation-only answers and grounded refusals.

Does the agent creation verify toolkit imports before writing code?▼

Yes, every toolkit import is verified inside the Docker container with a python import check before being written, since a missing package breaks the whole platform because app/main.py imports every agent at module scope.

Why does my new agent return a 404 after creation?▼

A 404 means the agent was not registered, the container was not restarted, or the container is bound to a different checkout. Check the mounts with docker inspect and confirm the agent id appears in the /agents endpoint.

What toolkits work without API keys in Agno agents?▼

HackerNewsTools is available in the image without a key, and web search works through the keyless Parallel MCP server exposing web_search and web_fetch. Many other key-free toolkits like ArxivTools and WikipediaTools fail to import in the container.
