What it does
Agent management expert. ALWAYS invoke this skill when you need to list available agents, download or reference agent source code, deploy agent code to the host, or query the LLM connector matrix. Do not guess agent structures, use this skill first.
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.
