What it does

This is an index-style workflow that tells the assistant how to structure a project for building AI agents, from single autonomous agents to multi-agent systems with orchestration, tools, memory and evaluation. It points to other skills (such as CrewAI and LangGraph guides) for each phase and suggests copy-paste prompts to invoke them. It does not run code itself; it shapes how the assistant plans and works through an agent-building task.

Great for

  • Developers starting a new AI agent project who want a structured sequence of steps
  • Teams choosing between single-agent and multi-agent designs with CrewAI or LangGraph
  • People who want a checklist covering tools, memory and evaluation for an agent

Skip it if

  • Simple one-off coding questions, since the workflow is broad and adds process overhead
  • Tasks that need actual CrewAI or LangGraph implementation details, because this file only points to other skills that are not included here
  • Production deployment decisions, since the file itself warns it is not a substitute for environment-specific validation or expert review

Try asking

  • “Help me design the architecture for an agent that answers customer support tickets using tools and memory”
  • “Walk me through building a multi-agent research system with CrewAI roles”
  • “Plan the evaluation criteria and test scenarios for my existing agent”

Install in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Download the skill

    The ZIP contains the 1 original files, the MIT licence and an attribution note.

    ai-agent-development.zip
  2. 2

    Add it to your agent

    Claude Code (all projects)

    mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && unzip ai-agent-development.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/

    Claude Code / Agent SDK (this project only)

    mkdir -p .claude/skills && unzip ai-agent-development.zip -d .claude/skills/

    Claude apps (web/desktop): Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload skill, and choose the ZIP.

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Name the phase you need (for example Phase 4 orchestration) so the assistant loads only the relevant sub-skill
  • State explicitly whether you want the assistant to build agents or only plan them, since the file says multi-agent phases do not authorize the assistant to spawn agents itself
  • Ask for recorded evaluation inputs and limitations, as the workflow recommends
