AI Agent Development Workflow

Overview

Specialized workflow for building AI agents including single autonomous agents, multi-agent systems, agent orchestration, tool integration, and human-in-the-loop patterns.

When to Use This Workflow

Use this workflow when:

• Building autonomous AI agents
• Creating multi-agent systems
• Implementing agent orchestration
• Adding tool integration to agents
• Setting up agent memory

Workflow Phases

Phase 1: Agent Design

Skills to Invoke

• `ai-agents-architect` - Agent architecture
• `autonomous-agents` - Autonomous patterns

Actions

1. Define agent purpose 2. Design agent capabilities 3. Plan tool integration 4. Design memory system 5. Define success metrics

Copy-Paste Prompts

Use @ai-agents-architect to design AI agent architecture

Phase 2: Single Agent Implementation

Skills to Invoke

• `autonomous-agent-patterns` - Agent patterns
• `autonomous-agents` - Autonomous agents

Actions

1. Choose agent framework 2. Implement agent logic 3. Add tool integration 4. Configure memory 5. Test agent behavior

Copy-Paste Prompts

Use @autonomous-agent-patterns to implement single agent

Phase 3: Multi-Agent System

Skills to Invoke

• `crewai` - CrewAI framework
