subagent-creatorMeta-skill that generates Claude Code agent definition files (.md).
Subagent Creator is an agent skill from idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow. Meta-skill that generates Claude Code agent definition files (.md). Creates specialized agents with proper tool access, model selection, and behavioral instructions. Use when asked to "create an agent", "make a sub-agent", or "generate agent for X".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/agent-template-guide.md`, `references/gra-schema-reference.md` and `references/output-path-conventions.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents. The repository describes itself as: AI 에이전트 58개가 협업하는 211-step 박사 논문 연구 시뮬레이션 시스템. AgenticWorkflow 프레임워크에서 태어난 자식 시스템. The licence is MIT.
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f2205f5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Subagent Creator loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 737 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

.claude/skills/subagent-creator/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 4 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.A meta-skill that produces Claude Code agent .md files. It designs agents
with appropriate expertise, tool access, behavioral rules, and quality
requirements following AgenticWorkflow conventions.
This meta-skill inherits the AgenticWorkflow genome. As a skill that generates agents, it must itself embody the DNA it enforces.
| DNA Component | Expression in subagent-creator |
|---|---|
| Absolute Criteria 1 (Quality) | Generated agents use optimal model selection (opus for research, sonnet for utility) |
| Absolute Criteria 2 (SOT) | Generated agents respect single-writer SOT pattern; guard_sot_write.py compatibility |
| Absolute Criteria 3 (CCP) | Research agents include GRA compliance; utility agents document CCP exemption rationale |
| English-First | All agent instructions are in English |
| P1 Compliance | Research agents include GroundedClaim schema + Hallucination Firewall |
| Quality Gates | Research agents integrate with validate_grounded_claim.py PostToolUse hook |
Agent definitions live in .claude/agents/ and follow this structure:
---
name: {agent-name} # kebab-case
description: {brief description}
model: opus # opus | sonnet | haiku
tools: Read, Write, Glob, Grep # comma-separated tool list
maxTurns: {N} # max reasoning turns (default: 20)
memory: project # project | none
---
{Agent behavioral instructions in English}Determine the agent's requirements:
Select the appropriate model based on task complexity:
| Model | Use When | Examples |
|---|---|---|
opus | Complex analysis, synthesis, critical reasoning | Thesis writer, critical reviewer, synthesis agent |
sonnet | Structured tasks, search, data processing | Literature searcher, formatting specialist |
haiku | Simple, repetitive tasks | File validation, format checking |
Default to opus when quality is the absolute criterion (Absolute Criteria 1).
Assign tools based on the agent's needs:
| Tool | When to Include |
|---|---|
Read | Agent needs to read files (almost always) |
Write | Agent produces output files |
Glob | Agent needs to find files by pattern |
Grep | Agent needs to search file contents |
Bash | Agent needs to run commands (use sparingly) |
WebSearch | Agent needs to search the web |
WebFetch | Agent needs to fetch web content |
Agent | Agent needs to delegate to sub-agents |
Write the agent .md file with:
Determine if commands invoking this agent should use context: fork:
| Factor | Inline (no fork) | Fork recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Agent is part of orchestration flow | ✅ | ❌ |
| Agent writes to SOT | ✅ (orchestrator only) | ❌ never |
| Agent does independent analysis/production | ❌ | ✅ |
| Agent needs Bash for P1 validation scripts | Fork requires Bash in tool list | Check tool compatibility |
| Agent's work would pollute main context | ❌ | ✅ |
If fork is recommended, note this in the agent's documentation:
## Fork Compatibility
This agent is safe for `context: fork` invocation. It:
- Reads SOT but never writes to it
- Produces independent output files at {output_path}
- Does not require Bash / Does require Bash (specify)Most thesis workflow agents should NOT be forked — they are invoked by thesis-orchestrator within Agent Teams, which already provides context isolation.
For agents that produce research claims, add:
## GRA Compliance
All claims must follow the GroundedClaim schema:
- **id**: "{CLAIM_PREFIX}-{NNN}" (e.g., "LS-001")
- **claim_type**: FACTUAL | EMPIRICAL | THEORETICAL | METHODOLOGICAL | INTERPRETIVE | SPECULATIVE
- **sources**: At least one PRIMARY or SECONDARY source with reference and DOI
- **confidence**: 0-100 score
- **effect_size**: When applicable (statistical findings)
- **uncertainty**: Explicit limitation statement
### Hallucination Firewall
- BLOCK: "all studies agree", "100%", "no exceptions"
- REQUIRE_SOURCE: Any statistical claim (p-values, effect sizes)
- SOFTEN: "certainly", "obviously", "clearly" → add hedging
- VERIFY: "it is known that" → add citationVerify the generated agent:
agent: {this-agent} with context: fork must pass:
python3 .claude/hooks/scripts/validate_fork_safety.py --file <command.md> --project-dir <project-root>
Validates FS-3 (Bash dependency vs agent tools) and FS-5 (agent existence).Output:

Run `npx skills add idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow --skill subagent-creator -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/subagent-creator in idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow) into .claude/skills/subagent-creator in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow --skill subagent-creator -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/subagent-creator in idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow) into .agents/skills/subagent-creator in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow --skill subagent-creator -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/subagent-creator, .gemini/skills/subagent-creator, .github/skills/subagent-creator and .opencode/skills/subagent-creator in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Subagent Creator needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Subagent Creator is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 4.2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Subagent Creator: Claude Code Agent Development (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 38k stars), Subagent Driven Development (Asvarox/allkaraoke, 261 stars), Dispatching Parallel Agents (ultralisp/ultralisp, 258 stars) and Paseo Advisor Second Opinion (getpaseo/paseo, 20k stars).
