PROCEDURE — create a NEW agent via the 5-phase workflow (ANALYZE→DESIGN→CREATE→VALIDATE→REFINE). Trigger: build a new AI agent. Composes nw-ab-validate-spec.
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
# nw-ab-create-agent (PROCEDURE) **Kind**: PROCEDURE | **One job**: create one new agent | **One trigger**: a new AI agent must be built. ## Deterministic step-sequence (run every time, in order) Run these steps in order: 1. **ANALYZE** — Apply the resident `nw-agent-creation-workflow`, including its source-aware Skill addressing procedure. Identify single clear responsibility. Check overlap with existing agents (Glob `nWave/agents/`). Classify specialist | reviewer | orchestrator. Determine minimum tools. Gate: responsibility defined, no overlap, classification chosen. 2. **DESIGN** — Apply the resident `nw-design-patterns`. Select design pattern. Define role, goal, divergent principles. Plan skills extraction. Draft frontmatter. Gate: pattern selected, principles drafted, frontmatter ready. 3. **CREATE** — Apply the resident `nw-ab-agent-template` and `nw-ab-house-style`. Write agent `.md` from the template, caveman-curated. Inject the Reasoning Mandate verbatim. Extract skills if domain knowledge >50 lines. Gate: file written and identity metadata present. …

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-ab-create-agent@sha256:d5a236c7968c78b7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.c67d57b, 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.
