Use when choosing between workflow vs agent patterns, structuring orchestrator/subagent pipelines, or writing a Claude Code agent template.
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
<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. </objective> # Agent Design Skill for designing high-performance AI agents following 2025 patterns. ## References - [patterns.md](references/patterns.md) - Load when: choosing an agent architecture (Single Agent, Agent+Tools, Orchestrator, Pipeline, Network, Supervisor, Hierarchical, Meta-Prompting) or comparing their trade-offs …

How to install
mdr add fusengine/agents/agent-design@sha256:228fd8672e5e7dc5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.3b91eed, 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.
