[H1][AGENT-BUILDER]

Dictum: Structured frontmatter and scoped tools enable discoverable agents.

Specialized execution contexts for Claude Code subagent delegation. Frontmatter controls discovery and capabilities; markdown body encodes behavior.

Location: .claude/agents/ (project) or ~/.claude/agents/ (user). Higher priority wins: CLI flag > project > user > plugin.

Tasks:

1. Read frontmatter.md — Complete schema (11 fields), triggers, syntax.
2. Read prompt.md — Structure patterns, constraint markers.
3. Read workflow.md — 5-phase creation process.
4. (prose) Load style-standards skill — Voice, formatting, constraints.
5. Execute per workflow — UNDERSTAND, ACQUIRE, RESEARCH, AUTHOR, VALIDATE.
6. Validate — Quality gate; see §VALIDATION.
