Generate an agent across the host AI tools a project uses. An agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Refactor an agent

What it does

06 Agent Generate is an agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework. Generate an agent across the host AI tools a project uses. Use when the user wants to create, scaffold, or refactor an agent, subagent or specialized role. Not for other artifacts like skills, rules, commands, hooks.

Its SKILL.md is about 330 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `actions/01-capture-agent.md`, `actions/02-write-agent.md` and `actions/03-validate.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents. The repository describes itself as: Marketplace Framework AI-Driven Dev : Context Engineering, Plugins, Agents, Skills, Hooks, Templates, SDLC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to create
  • Refactor an agent
  • Specialized role

Example prompts

  • “/06-agent-generate”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30640. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

06 Agent Generate loads about 327 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 109 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~327
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Agent Generate

Write one canonical agent from intent and render it per confirmed host tool, or once as a plugin source.

Actions

Run the actions in order, 01 → 03, and run each action's ## Test before the next. Before running an action, read its file in actions/, not only the table or assets.
