agent-designer

agent-designer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from seaworld008/Commonly-used-high-value-skills. It costs 27 tokens per session (2,564 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-designer, MIT.

A design guide for systems made of multiple AI agents, where each agent has a specific role and agents work together. It covers architecture patterns, tool boundaries, communication, safety, scaling, and evaluation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design agent roles, orchestration patterns, communication protocols, tool access, safety measures, scaling plans, and evaluations.
Why use it?
It helps turn a vague multi-agent idea into a defined system with clear responsibilities, interfaces, and ways to handle failures.

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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 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.

Agent Designer - Multi-Agent System Architecture

When to Use

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • design a multi-agent system or agent topology
  • compare orchestration patterns for agents
  • define agent roles, tool boundaries, or communication protocols
  • evaluate safety, scaling, and failure-handling trade-offs in an agent architecture

Usage

Recommended flow:

analyze requirements
-> choose architecture pattern
-> define agent roles and interfaces
-> design communication and safety mechanisms
-> specify evaluation and scaling strategy

Minimal Design Skeleton

system:
  pattern: supervisor
  agents:
    - name: coordinator
      role: routes work and aggregates results
    - name: researcher
      role: gathers evidence
    - name: implementer
      role: executes bounded changes

Overview

Agent Designer is a comprehensive toolkit for designing, architecting, and evaluating multi-agent systems. It provides structured approaches to agent architecture patterns, tool design principles, communication strategies, and performance evaluation frameworks for building robust, scalable AI agent systems.

Core Capabilities

1. Agent Architecture Patterns

Single Agent Pattern
  • Use Case: Simple, focused tasks with clear boundaries
  • Pros: Minimal complexity, easy debugging, predictable behavior
  • Cons: Limited scalability, single point of failure
  • Implementation: Direct user-agent interaction with comprehensive tool access
Supervisor Pattern
  • Use Case: Hierarchical task decomposition with centralized control
  • Architecture: One supervisor agent coordinating multiple specialist agents
  • Pros: Clear command structure, centralized decision making
  • Cons: Supervisor bottleneck, complex coordination logic
  • Implementation: Supervisor receives tasks, delegates to specialists, aggregates results

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.
