# Custom Agent Creator
## Overview
This skill guides the creation of custom agents for either VS Code Copilot or OpenCode. It helps users define agent properties like name, description, tools, models, and permissions, then generates the appropriate configuration file in the correct format.
## Workflow
1. **Determine Target Platform**: If not specified, ask the user whether they want to create an agent for Copilot or OpenCode.
2. **Gather Agent Details**: Collect information about the agent:
- Name
- Description
- Tools and permissions
- Model (optional)
- Additional configuration options
3. **Generate Configuration**: Create the agent file following the platform's specifications.
## Copilot Agents
Custom agents for VS Code Copilot are defined in `.agent.md` files with YAML frontmatter.
**File Structure**:
- Frontmatter: YAML with fields like `description`, `name`, `tools`, `model`, `handoffs`
- Body: Markdown instructions for the agent
**Common Fields**:
- `description`: Brief description shown in chat input
- `tools`: List of available tools
- `model`: AI model to use
- `handoffs`: Suggested next steps for workflow transitions
See [references/copilot-agents.md](references/copilot-agents.md) for complete documentation.
## OpenCode Agents
Agents for OpenCode can be defined in JSON config or Markdown files.
**Configuration Options**:
- `description`: Required description
- `mode`: "primary" or "subagent"
- `model`: Model identifier
- `tools`: Tool permissions (true/false)
- `permissions`: Granular control over actions
- `temperature`: Response creativity (0.0-1.0)
See [references/opencode-agents.md](references/opencode-agents.md) for complete documentation.
