[H1][AGENT-BUILDER]

Dictum: Structured frontmatter and scoped tools enable discoverable agents.

Specialized execution contexts for main Claude agent invocation. Frontmatter controls discovery; markdown body encodes behavior.

Location: .claude/agents/ (project) or ~/.claude/agents/ (user). Project agents override user agents on name collision.

Tasks:

1. Read index.md — Reference file listing for navigation
2. Read frontmatter.md — Schema, triggers, syntax validation
3. Read prompt.md — Structure patterns, constraint markers
4. Read workflow.md — 5-phase creation process
5. (prose) Load style-standards skill — Voice, formatting, constraints
6. Execute per workflow — UNDERSTAND, ACQUIRE, RESEARCH, AUTHOR, VALIDATE
7. Validate — Quality gate; see §VALIDATION

Templates: →agent.template.md — Standard agent scaffold.
