What files are required when generating an agent scaffold for multi-agent systems?▼

Generating an agent scaffold requires a config.yaml and an AGENTS.md file. The config.yaml must include YAML frontmatter fields like name, description, and spec_version, along with template sections for llm, tools, and instructions.

Can I add custom skills to a generated agent directory template?▼

Yes, you can add custom skills to a generated agent directory. The templates are extensible and include specific guidance for adding nested skills and sub-agents, allowing patterns to scale from simple to complex multi-agent systems.

What is the best way to standardize agent instructions and system prompts across multiple agents?▼

Standardize agent instructions and system prompts by using template-driven scaffolding to generate directories. This approach provides consistent prompts and sample configurations, accelerating onboarding and ensuring production-readiness across multiple agents.

Does agent scaffolding validate required YAML frontmatter fields automatically?▼

Yes, agent scaffolding validates required YAML frontmatter fields automatically. It ensures that essential fields like name, description, and spec_version, along with template sections for llm, tools, and instructions, are consistently produced and validated.
