agent-design skillA

agent-design is agent-read markdown (skill) from fusengine/agents: Use when choosing between workflow vs agent patterns, structuring orchestrator/subagent pipelines, or writing a Claude Code agent template..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

<objective>
Agent Design covers the architectural decisions behind building a high-performance AI agent: the workflow-vs-agent distinction (code-orchestrated vs LLM-directed control), the minimal agent structure (identity, capabilities, tools, constraints, workflow), and the "fresh eyes" principle -- each sub-agent gets only the context it needs, never the full orchestrator history.

It routes to four references depending on the task: `patterns.md` for architecture choice (Single Agent, Orchestrator, Pipeline, Network, Supervisor, Hierarchical, Meta-Prompting), `workflows.md` for implementing APEX/TDD/Explore-Plan-Code/Review/Debug patterns inside an agent, `templates.md` for the full production frontmatter and Claude Code agent template, and `anti-patterns.md` for reviewing a design against common mistakes.
