Create a new agent definition file following the agent-almanac agent template and registry conventions. Covers persona design, tool selection, skill assignment, model choice, frontmatter schema, required sections, registry integration, and discovery symlink verification. Use when adding a new specialized agent to the library, defining a persona for a Claude Code subagent, or creating a domain-specific assistant with curated skills and tools.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Create a New Agent Define a Claude Code subagent persona with a focused purpose, curated tools, assigned skills, and complete documentation following the agent template and registry conventions. ## When to Use - Adding a new specialist agent to the library for a domain not yet covered - Converting a recurring workflow or prompt pattern into a reusable agent persona - Creating a domain-specific assistant with curated skills and constrained tools - Splitting an overly broad agent into focused, single-responsibility agents - Designing a new team member before composing a multi-agent team ## Inputs - **Required**: Agent name (lowercase kebab-case, e.g., `data-engineer`) - **Required**: One-line description of the agent's primary purpose - **Required**: Purpose statement explaining the problem the agent solves - **Optional**: Model choice (default: `sonnet`; alternatives: `opus`, `haiku`) - **Optional**: Priority level (default: `normal`; alternatives: `high`, `low`) - **Optional**: List of skills from `skills/_registry.yml` to assign - **Optional**: MCP servers the agent requires (e.g., `r-mcptools`, `hf-mcp-server`) ## Procedure ### Step 1: Design the Agent Persona …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/create-agent@sha256:2f4e2aad7dafe219The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
