Use when creating a new specialist agent for Gaia, or reviewing whether an existing agent follows the correct structure, tone, and component inventory.

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

# Agent Creation

Every section below is tagged **universal** -- it holds for any agent, the orchestrator included -- or **specialist** -- it holds for an agent dispatched as a subagent, and the orchestrator is exempt from it by role rather than by oversight. The exemptions are structural: the orchestrator carries no `routing:` block because it is what routes, no `skills:` field because the host preloads skills only for a dispatched subagent, and no CANNOT DO -> DELEGATE table in the specialist sense because delegating is its function rather than its edge.

## What is an agent? -- universal

An agent is a contract over project-context plus a small identity. For a specialist that identity points at one domain surface; the orchestrator's points at the conversation and the routing between surfaces. If the component you are building has no distinct contract, no delegation surface, and could work as injected text, it is a skill, not an agent -- that decision belongs upstream and this skill assumes it has been made.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add metraton/gaia/agent-creation@sha256:5cb04a9cb4b1e357

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260820.f78af40, 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.
