  • Works in 6 steps: Understand the Agent → Generate the Agent File → Generate the Slash Command → …
  • The user says create an agent

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

What it does

Create Agent is an agent skill from evolution-foundation/evo-nexus. Create a new custom agent for the workspace. Guides the user through defining agent name, domain, personality, skills, model, and memory folder. Use when the user says 'create an agent', 'new agent', 'add an agent', 'I need a custom agent', or wants to create a specialized agent for a specific domain.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Building AI agents. The repository describes itself as: The open source operating system for AI-powered businesses.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says create an agent
  • I need a custom agent
  • Wants to create a specialized agent for a specific domain

Example prompts

  • “create an agent”
  • “new agent”
  • “add an agent”
  • “/create-agent”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the Agent
  2. Generate the Agent File
  3. Generate the Slash Command
  4. Register in Dashboard (core agents only)
  5. Create Memory Folder
  6. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f5dd76. 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 (its code samples are markdown, bash and typescript).

    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

Create Agent loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 613 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 613 words (~2,249 tokens).

“Guide the user through creating a new custom agent that extends the workspace with a specialized domain.”
