How do I install the Spoon Agent Development skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add xspoonai/spoon-agent-development in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Spoon Agent Development safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Agent Development

Build AI agents using the Spoon AI ReAct framework.

Agent Hierarchy

SpoonReactSkill  → Skills + x402 Payments

SpoonReactAI    → Base ReAct + Tool Calling
    ↓
ToolCallAgent   → Tool Execution

BaseAgent       → Pydantic Foundation

Quick Start

from spoon_ai.agents import SpoonReactMCP
from spoon_ai.chat import ChatBot
from spoon_ai.tools import ToolManager
from spoon_ai.tools.mcp_tool import MCPTool

# Create agent with MCP tool
agent = SpoonReactMCP(
    name="my_agent",
    llm=ChatBot(model_name="gpt-4o"),
    tools=ToolManager([MCPTool(...)]),
    max_steps=15
)

await agent.initialize()
result = await agent.run("Your query here")

Scripts

Script	Purpose
basic_agent.py	Simple SpoonReactAI agent
mcp_agent.py	MCP-enabled agent
custom_tool.py	Custom BaseTool implementation
concurrent_agents.py	Multi-agent parallel execution

References

Reference	Content
prompts.md	System prompt templates
mcp_config.md	MCP configuration options

Configuration

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`name`	str	"spoon_react"	Agent identifier
`max_steps`	int	10	Max ReAct iterations
`tool_choice`	str	"required"	"auto", "required", "none"
`system_prompt`	str	None	Custom system prompt

Best Practices

Pre-load MCP tool parameters before use
Use concurrent execution for independent tools
Implement retry with exponential backoff
Keep system prompts focused and specific
Never hardcode API keys
