Lord1Egypt 🎭 Agency Agents — AI Specialist Personalities
Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.
A curated collection of 50+ specialized AI agent personalities for Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, Copilot, and more. Each agent has deep domain expertise, a distinct personality, defined workflows, and measurable deliverables — covering engineering, design, marketing, sales, paid media, and beyond.
Installation
Prerequisites
git clone https://github.com/msitarzewski/agency-agents.git
cd agency-agents
Claude Code (Recommended)
# Copy all agents to Claude's agents directory
cp -r agency-agents/* ~/.claude/agents/
# Or symlink for auto-updates
ln -s /path/to/agency-agents ~/.claude/agents/agency
Then in any Claude Code session:
Hey Claude, activate Frontend Developer mode and help me build a React component
All Other Tools (Interactive Installer)
# Step 1: Generate integration files for all supported tools
./scripts/convert.sh
# Step 2: Auto-detect installed tools and install interactively
./scripts/install.sh
# Or target a specific tool
./scripts/install.sh --tool cursor
./scripts/install.sh --tool copilot
./scripts/install.sh --tool aider
./scripts/install.sh --tool windsurf

Using Agents in Claude Code
Activating a Single Agent
# In Claude Code chat:
Activate the Backend Architect agent and help me design a REST API for a multi-tenant SaaS app.
Using Multiple Agents in Sequence
# First, design the system
Activate the Software Architect agent. Design the domain model for an e-commerce platform.
# Then implement
Now activate the Senior Developer agent and implement the Order aggregate in Laravel.
# Then review
Activate the Code Reviewer agent and review the implementation above.
Referencing an Agent File Directly
# Pass an agent as a system prompt in Claude CLI
claude --system-prompt "$(cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-frontend-developer.md)" \
"Build a responsive product card component in React with Tailwind CSS"
Using Agents in Cursor
After running ./scripts/install.sh --tool cursor, agent rules land in .cursor/rules/. Reference them in chat:
@engineering-frontend-developer Build a data table component with sorting and pagination.
Or set a default rule in .cursor/rules/default.mdc:
---
alwaysApply: true
---
You are operating as the Senior Developer agent from The Agency.
Refer to .cursor/rules/engineering-senior-developer.md for your full persona and workflows.
Using Agents with Aider
# Use a single agent as the system prompt
aider --system-prompt "$(cat agency-agents/engineering/engineering-security-engineer.md)"
# Or reference in .aider.conf.yml
echo "system-prompt: agency-agents/engineering/engineering-devops-automator.md" >> .aider.conf.yml
Using Agents in Windsurf
./scripts/install.sh --tool windsurf
# Agents are written to .windsurf/rules/
Activate in chat:
Use the UX Architect agent rules from .windsurf/rules/ to audit my CSS architecture.
Real Workflow Examples
Full-Stack Feature with Multiple Agents
# 1. Architecture phase
cat > task.md << 'EOF'
I need to add real-time notifications to my Node.js + React app.
Users should see in-app alerts and optionally receive email digests.
EOF
# Invoke Software Architect
claude --system-prompt "$(cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-software-architect.md)" < task.md
# 2. Backend implementation
claude --system-prompt "$(cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-backend-architect.md)" \
"Implement the notification service based on the architecture above using PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY and Socket.io"
# 3. Frontend implementation
claude --system-prompt "$(cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-frontend-developer.md)" \
"Build the React notification bell component that connects to the Socket.io feed"
# 4. Security review
claude --system-prompt "$(cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-security-engineer.md)" \
"Review the notification system implementation for security issues"
Code Review Workflow
# Generate a diff and pipe to the Code Reviewer agent
git diff main..feature/payment-integration | \
claude --system-prompt "$(cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-code-reviewer.md)" \
"Review this PR diff. Focus on security, correctness, and maintainability."
Database Optimization
# Paste slow query log and activate Database Optimizer
claude --system-prompt "$(cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-database-optimizer.md)" << 'EOF'
Here is a slow query from our PostgreSQL logs (avg 4200ms):
SELECT u.*, p.*, o.*
FROM users u
LEFT JOIN profiles p ON p.user_id = u.id
LEFT JOIN orders o ON o.user_id = u.id
WHERE u.created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'
ORDER BY o.created_at DESC;
Table sizes: users=2M rows, orders=18M rows. No indexes on created_at columns.
EOF
Incident Response
# Structured incident kick-off
claude --system-prompt "$(cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-incident-response-commander.md)" << 'EOF'
SEV-1 INCIDENT: Payment processing returning 503 errors since 14:32 UTC.
Error rate: 94%. Affected: checkout, subscription renewals.
Recent deploys: payment-service v2.4.1 at 14:15 UTC.
EOF
Creating Custom Agents
Agent files follow a consistent markdown structure:
# 🎯 Agent Name
## Identity
You are [Name], [role] at The Agency...
## Core Mission
[What this agent optimizes for]
## Personality & Communication Style
- [Trait 1]
- [Trait 2]
## Workflows
### [Workflow Name]
1. [Step 1]
2. [Step 2]
## Deliverables
- [Concrete output 1]
- [Concrete output 2]
## Success Metrics
- [Measurable outcome]
Save custom agents to agency-agents/custom/ and re-run ./scripts/convert.sh to generate tool integrations.
Contributing New Agents
# Fork and clone
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/agency-agents.git
# Create your agent in the appropriate division
cp engineering/engineering-senior-developer.md \
engineering/engineering-YOUR-SPECIALTY.md
# Edit the file, then test it
claude --system-prompt "$(cat engineering/engineering-YOUR-SPECIALTY.md)" \
"Give me a sample deliverable to demonstrate your capabilities"
# Submit a PR
git checkout -b agent/your-specialty
git add engineering/engineering-YOUR-SPECIALTY.md
git commit -m "feat: add Your Specialty agent"
git push origin agent/your-specialty
Troubleshooting
Agents not found in Claude Code
ls ~/.claude/agents/
# If empty, re-run:
cp -r /path/to/agency-agents/* ~/.claude/agents/
convert.sh fails with permission error
chmod +x scripts/convert.sh scripts/install.sh
./scripts/convert.sh
Cursor not picking up agent rules
# Rules must be in project root .cursor/rules/
ls .cursor/rules/
# Re-run installer targeting cursor
./scripts/install.sh --tool cursor
Agent personality not activating
- Be explicit: "Activate the Frontend Developer agent" rather than just referencing the topic
- Paste the agent file contents directly into the system prompt if tool integration isn't working
- For Claude Code, confirm agents directory:
claude config get agentsDir
Agent conflicts when using multiple
- Activate one agent per conversation session
- For multi-agent workflows, use separate sessions or Claude Code's subagent feature
- Sequence agents explicitly: architect → implement → review
