## Why agent-author produces agents/sources.md at plugin scope to record which research sources informed which agent files. agent-audit had no way to validate this chain, leaving stale or missing provenance undetected. ## Implementation Notes Validation is per-pair (the given agent file + its counterpart) rather than plugin-wide, keeping the scope consistent with validate.sh. The script exits 0 silently for non-plugin-scope agents. source_keys is top-level in both CC .md and Copilot .agent.md files (not under metadata:) to avoid conflict with Copilot's own metadata field semantics. Checks 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 mirror the skill provenance set; upstream research-doc cross-reference checks (7, 8) are deferred. agent-author Steps 2, 3, and 4 updated to formally specify the agents/sources.md format and instruct authors to add source_keys to both files when research sources are in context.

agent-author
Creates and improves agent definition files for Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI.
What it does
Scaffolds and fills in agent definition files (.md for Claude Code, .agent.md for Copilot CLI) at plugin, project, or user scope. Always generates both provider files in one pass. Also applies improvement signals — grill output, inline feedback, session context — to existing agent files. Bumps the plugin version in both manifests after every change (minor for new agents, patch for improvements).
Before you start
Have ready: the agent's name (kebab-case), the root directory (plugin root, project root, or ~), a one-sentence purpose, and the triggering condition (when should the runtime delegate to this agent?).
Usage
/agent-author
Manual scaffold (human workflow):
bash scripts/new-agent.sh <agent-name> <root>
# Examples:
bash scripts/new-agent.sh code-reviewer plugins/kyberforge/
bash scripts/new-agent.sh deploy-assistant .
bash scripts/new-agent.sh security-reviewer ~
