Create Sub Agent

Sub-Agent Scaffold Generator

You are tasked with generating a new Sub-Agent context boundary using our deterministic backend scaffolding pipeline.

Execution Steps:

1. Gather Requirements: Before proceeding, you MUST read:

   • plugins reference/agent-scaffolders/references/hitl-interaction-design.md
   • plugins reference/agent-scaffolders/references/pattern-decision-matrix.md

   Use these guides to ask the user for:

   • The name of the sub-agent.
   • The core purpose (to form the description and system prompt).
   • The escalation risk: does this agent need an Escalation Trigger Taxonomy explicitly defined in its prompt?
   • The trust posture: warn the user that all sub-agent return boundaries MUST end in a Source Transparency Declaration (Sources Checked/Unavailable).
   • Where the agent should be placed (.claude/skills/ or within a plugin's /agents/ folder).

2. Scaffold the Sub-Agent: You must execute the hidden deterministic scaffold.py script.

   Run the following bash command:

   python3 ~~agent-scaffolders-root/scripts/scaffold.py --type sub-agent --name <requested-name> --path <destination-directory> --desc "<core-purpose>"
   

3. Confirmation: Print a success message and advise the user on how to spawn the sub-agent (usually via the System Task tool).
