AI Agents Development — Architecture Hub

Use this skill to decide whether a workflow should be an agent, which agent shape fits, which protocol boundary to use, and what production controls must exist before rollout.

Default posture: explicit control flow, bounded tools, typed contracts, auditable state, human approval for high-risk actions, and telemetry from day one.

Keep this file lean. Load detail from references/index.md, assets/, and sibling skills only when needed.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user asks for:

• agent architecture or operating-model decisions
• build-vs-not-agent assessment
• MCP vs A2A protocol choice
• production readiness review for an existing agent system
• evaluation, observability, rollout, or safety planning
• framework selection after requirements are already clear
• a starting template for a new agent spec
