Harness Agent Team Designer
revfactory/harness
Designs a project-specific agent harness: defines specialist agents, writes the skills they follow, picks an execution mode and model for each, and keeps the setup maintained.
Decides whether a request wants a full agent team, one agent, or one skill, then follows the matching flow file to generate it.

At a glance
Decides whether a request wants a full agent team, one agent, or one skill, then follows the matching flow file to generate it.
- Works in 2 steps: Detect Intent → Load and Execute Flow
- Setting up a complete set of agents for a new project type
- SKILL.md covers Auto-Detected Context, Step 1: Detect Intent and Step 2: Load and Execute Flow
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Given a free-text request, this skill first works out which of three modes applies: a complete team of agents suited to a project type, one individual agent such as a reviewer or deployment handler, or a single slash-command skill. Wording in the request points to the mode, and it asks the user to pick when that wording is ambiguous.
Once a mode is settled, it reads the matching flow file from the detected skill base directory and follows those instructions exactly, treating the original request as context for whatever gets generated for Claude Code, Kimi, or Codex.
When your agent uses it
- Setting up a complete set of agents for a new project type
- Creating one individual agent, such as a security reviewer or deployment agent
- Creating a single custom skill or slash command for a project
Example prompts
- “Build a full agent team for a fullstack web app.”
- “Create a code reviewer agent for our Go services.”
- “Make a skill that runs our test suite on request.”
Requirements
- Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch, and AskUserQuestion tool access
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch, AskUserQuestion
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 916637e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditBashGlobGrepWebSearchWebFetchAskUserQuestion
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
Agent Team And Skill Builder loads about 628 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 258 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.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch, AskUserQuestion
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.

You are an elite AI agent architect. You can create complete agent teams, individual agents, or custom skills — all through a single command.
User request: $ARGUMENTS
Auto-Detected Context
Working directory: !pwd
Existing subdirectories: !ls -d */ 2>/dev/null | head -20 || echo "empty directory"
Skill base: !for d in ".codex/skills/metaskill" ".claude/skills/metaskill" "$HOME/.codex/skills/metaskill" "$HOME/.claude/skills/metaskill"; do [ -d "$d/flows" ] && echo "$d" && break; done 2>/dev/null || echo "$HOME/.codex/skills/metaskill"
Step 1: Detect Intent
Analyze $ARGUMENTS to determine the mode:
Team mode (default): The user wants a complete agent team for a project type. Trigger words: "app", "project", "team", "fullstack", "pipeline", "game dev", or any domain/technology without explicit "agent" or "skill" keywords. Examples: "ios app", "fullstack web", "data science pipeline", "game dev with Unity"
Agent mode: The user wants to create a single agent. Trigger words: "agent", "reviewer", "engineer" (as a role), or phrases like "create an agent that..." Examples: "a security reviewer agent", "code reviewer for Go", "create an agent that handles deployments"
Skill mode: The user wants to create a single skill (slash command). Trigger words: "skill", "command", "slash command", or phrases like "create a skill that..." Examples: "a deploy skill", "slash command to run tests", "create a skill for linting"
If the intent is ambiguous, use AskUserQuestion to ask the user which mode they want.
Step 2: Load and Execute Flow
Based on the detected mode, read the corresponding flow file from the Skill base path detected above:
- Team mode → Read
<skill-base>/flows/team.md - Agent mode → Read
<skill-base>/flows/agent.md - Skill mode → Read
<skill-base>/flows/skill.md
Then follow the instructions in that flow file exactly, using the user's request as context.

Questions about Agent Team And Skill Builder
What does Agent Team And Skill Builder do?
Decides whether a request wants a full agent team, one agent, or one skill, then follows the matching flow file to generate it. Given a free-text request, this skill first works out which of three modes applies: a complete team of agents suited to a project type, one individual agent such as a reviewer or deployment handler, or a single slash-command skill. Wording in the request points to the mode, and it asks the user to pick when that wording is ambiguous.
When should I use Agent Team And Skill Builder?
Agent Team And Skill Builder fits situations like: setting up a complete set of agents for a new project type; creating one individual agent, such as a security reviewer or deployment agent; creating a single custom skill or slash command for a project.
How do I install Agent Team And Skill Builder in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add xvirobotics/metabot --skill metaskill -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (src/skills/metaskill in xvirobotics/metabot) into .claude/skills/metaskill in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Agent Team And Skill Builder in Codex?
Run `npx skills add xvirobotics/metabot --skill metaskill -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (src/skills/metaskill in xvirobotics/metabot) into .agents/skills/metaskill in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Agent Team And Skill Builder in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add xvirobotics/metabot --skill metaskill -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/metaskill, .gemini/skills/metaskill, .github/skills/metaskill and .opencode/skills/metaskill in your project.
What does Agent Team And Skill Builder need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Agent Team And Skill Builder is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch, and AskUserQuestion tool access. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch, AskUserQuestion.
Does Agent Team And Skill Builder access the network?
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.
Is Agent Team And Skill Builder safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Agent Team And Skill Builder use?
Agent Team And Skill Builder is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Agent Team And Skill Builder use?
About 628 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
