role-creator（角色创造者）

role-creator

Generate a role skill package in a fixed contract:

• <target>/SKILL.md
• <target>/references/role.yaml
• <target>/system.md

Target directory options:

• skills/<role-name>/ — for open-source publishing (default)
• .agent-team/teams/<role-name>/ — for team use with agent-team
• <custom-path>/<role-name>/ — for custom local output paths

Required Workflow

1. Normalize Input — validate role name as kebab-case.
2. Generate Role Fields — auto-generate fields, delegate to /brainstorming on rejection.
3. Select Skills — find-skills recommendations, user selection, manual additions.
4. Execute CLI — run agent-team role create with approved parameters.
5. Validate Output — verify three managed files match expected template structure.

Step 1: Normalize Input

• role-name must be kebab-case. The current CLI requires it as a positional argument.
• If the input is not kebab-case, suggest a normalized version and confirm with user.

Step 2: Generate Role Fields

1. Auto-generate the following fields (do not ask user to draft them by default):

- description - system goal - in-scope (comma-separated) - out-of-scope (comma-separated)

1. Present generated fields for user approval.
2. If user rejects, or AI confidence is low (ambiguous scope, conflicting boundaries, vague goals), delegate to /brainstorming skill for structured refinement.
3. After fields are approved, ask user for target directory (skills, .agent-team/teams, or a custom path).
4. If target is skills or .agent-team/teams, note that the CLI checks matching global roles in ~/.agents/roles/ unless --force is passed. If matches are found, the CLI prompts whether to continue creating the local role.

Step 3: Select Skills

1. Run find-skills to get recommendation candidates.
2. Show recommendation list and let user select desired skills.
3. Ask for manual additions after selection.
4. When confirming the final skill identifiers, prefer the full remote identifier if the skill is known from a remote source (for example jsonlee12138/prompts@design-patterns-principles).
5. Only use a local short name (for example design-patterns-principles) when no matching remote skill is found and the skill exists only locally.
6. Merge selected + manual additions with de-duplication, then confirm final list.
7. Final skills may be empty — will be persisted as skills: [] in references/role.yaml; otherwise persist skills[{name, description}] using the preferred identifier rule above.

If find-skills is unavailable or returns empty, skip recommendations and ask for manual additions only. In that fallback path, still prefer a full remote identifier if the user already provides one; otherwise use a local short name only for local-only skills.

Step 4: Execute CLI

CLI Reference

Skills resolution priority: --skills > --recommended-skills > --manual-skills, then --add-skills appended, --remove-skills excluded.

Examples

For open-source publishing (default):

agent-team role create frontend-dev \
  --description "Frontend role for UI implementation" \
  --system-goal "Ship accessible and maintainable UI work" \
  --in-scope "Build components,Improve accessibility" \
  --out-of-scope "Database migrations,Backend API ownership" \
  --skills "ui-ux-pro-max,better-icons"

For team use (agent-team integration):

agent-team role create frontend-dev \
  --target-dir .agent-team/teams \
  --description "Frontend role for UI implementation" \
  --system-goal "Ship accessible and maintainable UI work" \
  --in-scope "Build components,Improve accessibility" \
  --out-of-scope "Database migrations,Backend API ownership" \
  --skills "ui-ux-pro-max,better-icons"

Empty skills example:

agent-team role create product-manager \
  --description "Product role for roadmap and PRD work" \
  --system-goal "Define clear product requirements and priorities"

Step 5: Validate Output

Verify three files against actual template structure:

1. SKILL.md — contains the role name, generated description frontmatter, and links to references/role.yaml and system.md.
2. references/role.yaml — must contain:

- name — role name - description — role description - system_prompt_file: system.md - scope.in_scope — list of in-scope items - scope.out_of_scope — list of out-of-scope items - constraints.single_role_focus: true - skills — selected skills as objects with name and description (or empty [])

1. system.md — contains system goal and operating constraints.

If any file is missing or contains unexpected content relative to the current templates, report the discrepancy and offer to regenerate.

Overwrite Behavior

• Controlled by --overwrite flag (ask/yes/no).
• Current CLI does not create a backup directory when overwriting.
• Only managed files are overwritten (SKILL.md, references/role.yaml, system.md); other files in the role directory are preserved.
• Legacy root-level role.yaml is removed if present after generation.

Runtime Skill Discovery (Role Usage Guideline)

Generated roles should follow this behavior at runtime:

1. When a role receives a task that requires a skill not listed in its references/role.yaml, it should invoke find-skills to search for a matching skill.
2. If a suitable skill is found, it may only attempt project-level installation or use an already available local/project-cached skill.
3. Global installation is not allowed for worker/runtime resolution.
4. If the skill is still unavailable locally, emit a warning with the reason and suggested next step, then continue with best-effort execution.
5. After successful use, suggest adding the skill to the role's references/role.yaml for future sessions by regenerating the role.
6. If find-skills is unavailable or returns no match, the role should notify the user and proceed with best-effort execution.
