How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Agent Tools

Five tools for managing agents on the host, called via bash.

agent_list

List available agents. Returns ID, name, description, and capabilities for each agent.

tai tool agent_list '{}'
tai tool agent_list '{"namespace": "smith"}'

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-------------|--------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------| | `namespace` | string | no | Filter by namespace (e.g. `yao`, `smith`). Omit for all. |

agent_download

Download a **smith-namespace** agent into the development directory for editing. **Restricted to `smith` namespace only** — for other agents, use `agent_reference`.

tai tool agent_download '{"id": "smith.weather"}'

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|--------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------| | `id` | string | yes | Agent ID in dot notation. Must be `smith.*`. |

Downloaded code lands in `agent-smith-dev/assistants/smith/<name>/`.

agent_reference

Download agent source code from the host into `.references/` for **read-only study**. Any agent across all namespaces can be referenced.

tai tool agent_reference '{"id": "yao.slides"}'
tai tool agent_reference '{"id": "yao.keeper"}'

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|--------|----------|----------------------------------------------------| | `id` | string | yes | Agent ID in dot notation (e.g. `yao.slides`) |

Referenced code lands in `agent-smith-dev/.references/<namespace>/<name>/`.

agent_deploy

Deploy agent source code from the sandbox development directory to the host. **Restricted to the `smith` namespace only** — attempts to deploy to other namespaces will be rejected.

tai tool agent_deploy '{"id": "smith.weather"}'
tai tool agent_deploy '{"id": "smith.weather", "message": "add SUI page"}'

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|--------|----------|--------------------------------------------------------| | `id` | string | yes | Agent ID in dot notation. Must use `smith` namespace. | | `message` | string | no | Optional deploy message for logging. |

agent_connectors

Get the current user's LLM connector matrix. Returns metadata for each role (default, heavy, light, vision, etc.) **without API keys**. Use this to understand which models are available and their capabilities.

tai tool agent_connectors '{}'

No parameters required.

Guidelines

  • Use `agent_list` to discover agents before downloading or referencing
  • `agent_download` is for editing smith agents — code lands in `agent-smith-dev/assistants/smith/<name>/`
  • `agent_reference` is for studying any agent — code lands in `agent-smith-dev/.references/<namespace>/<name>/`
  • Deploy is restricted to the `smith` namespace for safety
  • Connector data never includes API keys, secrets, or tokens
  • All output is JSON
