NW-FORGE: Create Agent (V2)

Wave: CROSS_WAVE

Agent: Zeus (nw-agent-builder)

Overview

Create a new agent using research-validated v2 approach: focused core (200-400 lines) with Skills for domain knowledge.

ANALYZE — Identify single clear responsibility, check overlap with existing agents, classify type, determine minimum tools needed. Gate: responsibility defined, no overlap, classification chosen.
DESIGN — Select design pattern, define role and divergent principles, plan Skills extraction, draft frontmatter. Gate: pattern selected, principles drafted, frontmatter ready.
CREATE — Write agent .md using template. Workflow must be numbered task list. Create Skill files if domain knowledge exceeds 50 lines. Gate: agent file written, line count under 400.
VALIDATE — Run 14-point validation checklist. Check for anti-patterns. Verify workflow is numbered task list, not prose. Gate: all 14 items pass, zero anti-patterns.
REFINE — Address validation failures. Add instructions only for observed failure modes. Re-measure and re-validate. Gate: all items pass, line count reported.

Agent Invocation

@nw-agent-builder

Execute \*forge to create {agent-name} agent.

Configuration:

agent_type: specialist | reviewer | orchestrator
design_pattern: react | reflection | router | planning | sequential | parallel | hierarchical

Success Criteria

[ ] Agent definition under 400 lines (wc -l)
[ ] Official YAML frontmatter format (name, description, tools, maxTurns)
[ ] 11-point validation checklist passes
[ ] Only divergent behaviors specified (no Claude defaults)
[ ] 3-5 canonical examples included
[ ] Domain knowledge extracted to Skills if >50 lines
[ ] No aggressive language (no CRITICAL/MANDATORY/ABSOLUTE)
[ ] Safety via platform features (frontmatter/hooks), not prose

Declarative Agents

by github

vendor ×1

Complete development kit for Microsoft 365 Copilot declarative agents with three comprehensive workflows (basic, advanced, validation), TypeSpec support, and Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit integration

Format and structurally validate local treatment-plan documentation after clinical decisions have already been supplied and verified by authorized licensed professionals. Use for source traceability, clinician-authored intervention records, goals and checkpoints, shared-decision records, reconciliation handoffs, and release gates—not for clinical decision-making.

Prior Auth Review Skill

by anthropics

vendor ×1

Automate payer review of prior authorization (PA) requests. This skill should be used when users say "Review this PA request", "Process prior authorization for [procedure]", "Assess medical necessity", "Generate PA decision", or when processing clinical documentation for coverage policy validation and authorization decisions.

Expert in designing and building autonomous AI agents. Masters tool use, memory systems, planning strategies, and multi-agent orchestration.

Autonomous agents are AI systems that can independently decompose goals, plan actions, execute tools, and self-correct without constant human guidance. The challenge isn't making them capable - it's making them reliable. Every extra decision multiplies failure probability.

Orchestrates design workflows by routing work through brainstorming, multi-agent review, and execution readiness in the correct order.

Structured persuasion for tech leads, PMs, and founders—not activity logs. Five scenarios (kickoff, status update, wrap-up, investor pitch, solution selling) on one 5-part framework (Hook→Context→Proposal→Evidence→Ask). AI prompts for missing materials and audience context; pre-submit checklist. Claude Code plugin; Cursor, Codex, and chat via prompts.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take nwave-ai/nw-forge from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
