agent-designer

agent-designer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Morningstar202604/awesome-skillkit. It costs 121 tokens per session (1,173 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for designing systems where several AI agents share work, pass results between steps, or work in parallel. It also helps choose the right arrangement and create tool descriptions for AI providers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan agent roles and communication, choose patterns such as pipelines or supervisors, generate tool schemas, and assess execution logs.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork when deciding whether one agent or several are needed and how they should coordinate. It can also reveal slow steps, costs, and other problems in recorded runs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-designer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (agent_evaluator.py, agent_planner.py, tool_schema_generator.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent Designer — Multi-Agent System Architecture

Design, schema-generate, and evaluate multi-agent systems with three deterministic tools. The scripts are the workflow — do not freehand an architecture when the planner can score one from requirements.

When to use

  • Designing a new multi-agent system from requirements (pattern choice, roles, comms)
  • Generating provider-ready tool schemas (Anthropic + OpenAI formats) from plain tool descriptions
  • Evaluating execution logs: success rate, latency distribution, cost, bottlenecks

When NOT to use: Claude Code Workflow-tool automations → workflow-builder; multi-agent fan-out at runtime → agenthub.

Pattern decision table

Choose When Watch out for
Single agent One bounded task, < ~5 tools Don't add agents you don't need
Supervisor Central decomposition, specialists report back Supervisor becomes the bottleneck
Pipeline Strictly sequential stages with handoffs Rigid order; slowest stage gates throughput
Hierarchical Multiple org layers, > ~8 agents Communication overhead per level
Swarm Parallel peers, fault tolerance over predictability Hard to debug; needs consensus rules

The planner applies this scoring deterministically — run it rather than picking by feel.

Workflow scaffolding (quick start)

For a fast skeleton before running the full planner pipeline:

# Sequential / parallel / router / orchestrator / evaluator skeletons
python3 workflow_scaffolder.py sequential --name content-pipeline
python3 workflow_scaffolder.py orchestrator --name incident-triage --output workflows/incident-triage.json

Pattern templates and the minimum handoff contract (workflow_id, step_id, task, constraints, upstream_artifacts, budget_tokens, timeout_seconds) → See references/workflow_patterns.md for details

Workflow discipline: start with the smallest pattern that satisfies the requirements; keep handoff payloads explicit and bounded; add retry/timeout policy to every external-model call; validate intermediate outputs before fan-in synthesis; dry-run with small context budgets before scaling.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

agent-designer is a skill published in the GitHub repository Morningstar202604/awesome-skillkit (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 1,173 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
