ai-agent-development – Agents & Automation skill for AI agents

AI Agent Development Workflow

Overview

Specialized workflow for building AI agents including single autonomous agents, multi-agent systems, agent orchestration, tool integration, and human-in-the-loop patterns.

When to Use This Workflow

Use this workflow when:

• Building autonomous AI agents
• Creating multi-agent systems
• Implementing agent orchestration
• Adding tool integration to agents
• Setting up agent memory

Scope and execution

Choose the phases that match the user’s task; this document is an index, not an instruction to run every listed skill. Read a selected skill before using it. Respect repository and user constraints. Cloud calls, host configuration, publishing, destructive operations and spending require the applicable authorization; a workflow checklist does not grant it.

Multi-agent phases describe the product being built. They do not authorize the assistant to spawn or delegate to agents during this task. Use an existing single-agent architecture when appropriate and record evaluation inputs, observed results and limitations.

• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
