# kai-agents-skill

> Dynamic agent composition system - create specialized agents with unique personalities and voices, composed from traits on-the-fly

Create custom agents by combining expertise, personality, and approach traits. 800 unique agent combinations possible.

## Features

- **28 Composable Traits** - 10 expertise, 10 personality, 8 approach
- **Hybrid Agent Model** - Named agents (persistent) + Dynamic agents (task-specific)
- **Voice Mapping** - Each trait combination maps to a distinct voice
- **AgentFactory CLI** - Compose agents programmatically with trait inference

**Core Philosophy:** Cognitive diversity through composable agent personalities. Every analysis benefits from multiple perspectives.

## Installation

### Option 1: Marketplace (Recommended)

```bash
# From Claude Code, run:
/plugin marketplace add rafaelcalleja/kai-agents-skill
/plugin install kai-agents-skill@rafaelcalleja-kai-agents-skill
```

### Option 2: Development/Testing

```bash
# Clone and use directly
git clone https://github.com/rafaelcalleja/kai-agents-skill.git
claude --plugin-dir ./kai-agents-skill
```

### Option 3: CLI Tools Only

```bash
cd kai-agents-skill/skills/Agents/Tools
bun install
```

## Verify Installation

Once installed, test with:

- Ask: *"create custom agents to research this topic"* → activates the agents skill
- Ask: *"what agent traits are available?"* → lists all 28 composable traits
- Ask: *"spin up custom security agents"* → creates specialized security agents

## Components

### Skill: Agents

Provides dynamic agent composition. Triggers on:
- "create custom agents", "spin up agents"
- "specialized agents", "agent personalities"
- "list available traits", "agent voices"

### Trait Categories

| Category | Count | Options |
|----------|-------|---------|
| **Expertise** | 10 | security, legal, finance, medical, technical, research, creative, business, data, communications |
| **Personality** | 10 | skeptical, enthusiastic, cautious, bold, analytical, creative, empathetic, contrarian, pragmatic, meticulous |
| **Approach** | 8 | thorough, rapid, systematic, exploratory, comparative, synthesizing, adversarial, consultative |

**Total combinations:** 10 x 10 x 8 = **800 unique agents**

## Usage

### Natural Language

Just ask naturally:
- "Create a custom security agent"
- "I need a skeptical legal expert"
- "Spin up 3 research agents with different approaches"

### AgentFactory CLI

```bash
cd skills/Agents/Tools

# List all available traits
bun run AgentFactory.ts --list

# Compose agent by traits
bun run AgentFactory.ts --traits "security,skeptical,thorough"

# Infer traits from task
bun run AgentFactory.ts --task "Review this API for vulnerabilities"
```
