Contributions
Agency Agents is a collection of agent definitions that specify a role’s mission, communication style, workflow, and deliverables. A developer can inspect the underlying Markdown and adapt selected roles instead of adopting the whole collection. Installation tools translate the definitions for different coding assistants, and a separate desktop app provides a browsing and installation interface. The role descriptions are instructions to a model, rather than independently credentialed specialists or evidence that every claimed skill performs reliably.[3]
