feat: Complete BMAD agent creation system with install tooling, references, and field guidance
## Overview
This commit represents a complete overhaul of the BMAD agent creation system, establishing clear standards for agent development, installation workflows, and persona design. The changes span documentation, tooling, reference implementations, and field-specific guidance.
## Key Components
### 1. Agent Installation Infrastructure
**New CLI Command: `agent-install`**
- Interactive agent installation with persona customization
- Supports Simple (single YAML), Expert (sidecar files), and Module agents
- Template variable processing with Handlebars-style syntax
- Automatic compilation from YAML to XML (.md) format
- Manifest tracking and IDE integration (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
- Source preservation in `_cfg/custom/agents/` for reinstallation
**Files Created:**
- `tools/cli/commands/agent-install.js` - Main CLI command
- `tools/cli/lib/agent/compiler.js` - YAML to XML compilation engine
- `tools/cli/lib/agent/installer.js` - Installation orchestration
- `tools/cli/lib/agent/template-engine.js` - Handlebars template processing
**Compiler Features:**
- Auto-injects frontmatter, activation, handlers, help/exit menu items
- Smart handler inclusion (only includes action/workflow/exec/tmpl handlers actually used)
- Proper XML escaping and formatting
- Persona name customization (e.g., "Fred the Commit Poet")
### 2. Documentation Overhaul
**Deleted Bloated/Outdated Docs (2,651 lines removed):**
- Old verbose architecture docs
- Redundant pattern files
- Outdated workflow guides
**Created Focused, Type-Specific Docs:**
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/understanding-agent-types.md` - Architecture vs capability distinction
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/simple-agent-architecture.md` - Self-contained agents
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/expert-agent-architecture.md` - Agents with sidecar files
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/module-agent-architecture.md` - Workflow-integrated agents
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/agent-compilation.md` - YAML → XML process
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/agent-menu-patterns.md` - Menu design patterns
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/index.md` - Documentation hub
**Net Result:** ~1,930 line reduction while adding MORE value through focused content
### 3. Create-Agent Workflow Enhancements
**Critical Persona Field Guidance Added to Step 4:**
Explains how the LLM interprets each persona field when the agent activates:
- **role** → "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
- **identity** → "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
- **communication_style** → "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks, and phrasing do I use?"
- **principles** → "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices?"
**Key Insight:** `communication_style` should ONLY describe HOW the agent talks, not restate role/identity/principles. The `communication-presets.csv` provides 60 pure communication styles with NO role/identity/principles mixed in.
**Files Updated:**
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/instructions.md` - Added persona field interpretation guide
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/brainstorm-context.md` - Refined to 137 lines
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/communication-presets.csv` - 60 styles across 13 categories
### 4. Reference Agent Cleanup
**Removed install_config Personality Bloat:**
Understanding: Future installer will handle personality customization, so stripped all personality toggles from reference agents.
**commit-poet.agent.yaml** (Simple Agent):
- BEFORE: 36 personality combinations (3 enthusiasm × 3 depths × 4 styles) = decision fatigue
- AFTER: Single concise persona with pure communication style
- Changed from verbose conditionals to: "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase. I transform mundane commits into lyrical masterpieces, finding beauty in your code's evolution."
- Reduction: 248 lines → 153 lines (38% reduction)
**journal-keeper.agent.yaml** (Expert Agent):
- Stripped install_config, simplified communication_style
- Shows proper Expert agent structure with sidecar files
**security-engineer.agent.yaml & trend-analyst.agent.yaml** (Module Agents):
- Added header comments explaining WHY Module Agent (design intent, not just location)
- Clarified: Module agents are designed FOR ecosystem integration, not capability-limited
**Files Updated:**
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/simple-examples/commit-poet.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/expert-examples/journal-keeper/journal-keeper.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/module-examples/security-engineer.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/module-examples/trend-analyst.agent.yaml`
### 5. BMM Agent Voice Enhancement
**Gave all 9 BMM agents distinct, memorable communication voices:**
**Mary (analyst)** - The favorite! Changed from generic "systematic and probing" to:
"Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue, thrilled when patterns emerge. Asks questions that spark 'aha!' moments while structuring insights with precision."
**Other Notable Voices:**
- **John (pm):** "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case. Direct and data-sharp, cuts through fluff to what actually matters."
- **Winston (architect):** "Speaks in calm, pragmatic tones, balancing 'what could be' with 'what should be.' Champions boring technology that actually works."
- **Amelia (dev):** "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs - every statement citable. No fluff, all precision."
- **Bob (sm):** "Crisp and checklist-driven. Every word has a purpose, every requirement crystal clear. Zero tolerance for ambiguity."
- **Sally (ux-designer):** "Paints pictures with words, telling user stories that make you FEEL the problem. Empathetic advocate with creative storytelling flair."
**Pattern Applied:** Moved behaviors from communication_style to principles, keeping communication_style as PURE verbal patterns.
**Files Updated:**
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/analyst.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/pm.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/architect.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/dev.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/sm.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/tea.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/tech-writer.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/ux-designer.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/frame-expert.agent.yaml`
### 6. Linting Fixes
**ESLint Compliance:**
- Replaced all `'utf-8'` with `'utf8'` (unicorn/text-encoding-identifier-case)
- Changed `variables.hasOwnProperty(varName)` to `Object.hasOwn(variables, varName)` (unicorn/prefer-object-has-own)
- Replaced `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...))` with `structuredClone(...)` (unicorn/prefer-structured-clone)
- Fixed empty YAML mapping values in sample files
**Files Fixed:**
- 7 JavaScript files across agent tooling (compiler, installer, commands, IDE integration)
- 1 YAML sample file
## Architecture Decisions
### Agent Types Are About Architecture, Not Capability
- **Simple:** Self-contained in single YAML (NOT limited in capability)
- **Expert:** Includes sidecar files (templates, docs, etc.)
- **Module:** Designed for BMAD ecosystem integration (workflows, cross-agent coordination)
### Persona Field Separation Critical for LLM Interpretation
The LLM needs distinct fields to understand its role:
- Mixing role/identity/principles into communication_style confuses the persona
- Pure communication styles (from communication-presets.csv) have ZERO role/identity/principles content
- Example DON'T: "Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches..." (mixing identity + style)
- Example DO: "Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically." (pure style)
### Install-Time vs Runtime Configuration
- Template variables ({{var}}) resolve at compile-time
- Runtime variables ({user_name}, {bmad_folder}) resolve when agent activates
- Future installer will handle personality customization, so agents should ship with single default persona
## Testing
- All linting passes (ESLint with max-warnings=0)
- Agent compilation tested with commit-poet, journal-keeper examples
- Install workflow validated with Simple and Expert agent types
- Manifest tracking and IDE integration verified
## Impact
This establishes BMAD as having a complete, production-ready agent creation and installation system with:
- Clear documentation for all agent types
- Automated compilation and installation
- Strong persona design guidance
- Reference implementations showing best practices
- Distinct, memorable agent voices throughout BMM module

# Expert Agent Reference: Personal Journal Keeper (Whisper)
|
||||
|
||||
This folder contains a complete reference implementation of a **BMAD Expert Agent** - an agent with persistent memory and domain-specific resources via a sidecar folder.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent Name:** Whisper
|
||||
**Type:** Expert Agent
|
||||
**Purpose:** Personal journal companion that remembers your entries, tracks mood patterns, and notices themes over time
|
||||
|
||||
This reference demonstrates:
|
||||
|
||||
- Expert Agent with focused sidecar resources
|
||||
- Embedded prompts PLUS sidecar file references (hybrid pattern)
|
||||
- Persistent memory across sessions
|
||||
- Domain-restricted file access
|
||||
- Pattern tracking and recall
|
||||
- Simple, maintainable architecture
|
||||
|
||||
## Directory Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
agent-with-memory/
|
||||
├── README.md # This file
|
||||
├── journal-keeper.agent.yaml # Main agent definition
|
||||
└── journal-keeper-sidecar/ # Agent's private workspace
|
||||
├── instructions.md # Core directives
|
||||
├── memories.md # Persistent session memory
|
||||
├── mood-patterns.md # Emotional tracking data
|
||||
├── breakthroughs.md # Key insights recorded
|
||||
└── entries/ # Individual journal entries
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Simple and focused!** Just 4 core files + a folder for entries.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Architecture Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Hybrid Command Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
Expert Agents can use BOTH:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Embedded prompts** via `action: "#prompt-id"` (like Simple Agents)
|
||||
- **Sidecar file references** via direct paths
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
# Embedded prompt (like Simple Agent)
|
||||
- trigger: 'write'
|
||||
action: '#guided-entry'
|
||||
description: "Write today's journal entry"
|
||||
|
||||
# Direct sidecar file action
|
||||
- trigger: 'insight'
|
||||
action: 'Document this breakthrough in {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/breakthroughs.md'
|
||||
description: 'Record a meaningful insight'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds!
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Mandatory Critical Actions
|
||||
|
||||
Expert Agents MUST load sidecar files explicitly:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
critical_actions:
|
||||
- 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/memories.md'
|
||||
- 'Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/instructions.md'
|
||||
- 'ONLY read/write files in {agent-folder}/journal-keeper-sidecar/'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key points:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Files are loaded at startup
|
||||
- Domain restriction is enforced
|
||||
- Agent knows its boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Persistent Memory Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
The `memories.md` file stores:
|
||||
|
||||
- User preferences and patterns
|
||||
- Session notes and observations
|
||||
- Recurring themes discovered
|
||||
- Growth markers tracked
|
||||
|
||||
**Critically:** This is updated EVERY session, creating continuity.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Domain-Specific Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
Different files track different aspects:
|
||||
|
||||
- **memories.md** - Qualitative insights and observations
|
||||
- **mood-patterns.md** - Quantitative emotional data
|
||||
- **breakthroughs.md** - Significant moments
|
||||
- **entries/** - The actual content (journal entries)
|
||||
|
||||
This separation makes data easy to reference and update.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Simple Sidecar Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike modules with complex folder hierarchies, Expert Agent sidecars are flat and focused:
|
||||
|
||||
- Just the files the agent needs
|
||||
- No nested workflows or templates
|
||||
- Easy to understand and maintain
|
||||
- All domain knowledge in one place
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison: Simple vs Expert vs Module
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Simple Agent | Expert Agent | Module Agent |
|
||||
| ------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------- |
|
||||
| Architecture | Single YAML | YAML + sidecar folder | YAML + module system |
|
||||
| Memory | Session only | Persistent (sidecar files) | Config-driven |
|
||||
| Prompts | Embedded only | Embedded + external files | Workflow references |
|
||||
| Dependencies | None | Sidecar folder | Module workflows/tasks |
|
||||
| Domain Access | None | Restricted to sidecar | Full module access |
|
||||
| Complexity | Low | Medium | High |
|
||||
| Use Case | Self-contained tools | Domain experts with memory | Full workflow systems |
|
||||
|
||||
## The Sweet Spot
|
||||
|
||||
Expert Agents are the middle ground:
|
||||
|
||||
- **More powerful** than Simple Agents (persistent memory, domain knowledge)
|
||||
- **Simpler** than Module Agents (no workflow orchestration)
|
||||
- **Focused** on specific domain expertise
|
||||
- **Personal** to the user's needs
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use Expert Agents
|
||||
|
||||
**Perfect for:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Personal assistants that need memory (journal keeper, diary, notes)
|
||||
- Domain specialists with knowledge bases (specific project context)
|
||||
- Agents that track patterns over time (mood, habits, progress)
|
||||
- Privacy-focused tools with restricted access
|
||||
- Tools that learn and adapt to individual users
|
||||
|
||||
**Key indicators:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Need to remember things between sessions
|
||||
- Should only access specific folders/files
|
||||
- Tracks data over time
|
||||
- Adapts based on accumulated knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
## File Breakdown
|
||||
|
||||
### journal-keeper.agent.yaml
|
||||
|
||||
- Standard agent metadata and persona
|
||||
- **Embedded prompts** for guided interactions
|
||||
- **Menu commands** mixing both patterns

|
||||
- Context and meaning recorded
|
||||
- Connected to broader patterns
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### entries/
|
||||
|
||||
- Individual journal entries saved here
|
||||
- Each entry timestamped and tagged
|
||||
- Raw content preserved
|
||||
- Agent observations separate from user words
|
||||
|
||||
## Pattern Recognition in Action
|
||||
|
||||
Expert Agents excel at noticing patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Reference past sessions:** "Last week you mentioned feeling stuck..."
|
||||
2. **Track quantitative data:** Mood scores over time
|
||||
3. **Spot recurring themes:** Topics that keep surfacing
|
||||
4. **Notice growth:** Changes in language, perspective, emotions
|
||||
5. **Connect dots:** Relationships between entries
|
||||
|
||||
This pattern recognition is what makes Expert Agents feel "alive" and helpful.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Starting Fresh
|
||||
|
||||
The sidecar files are templates. A new user would:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start journaling with the agent
|
||||
2. Agent fills in memories.md over time
|
||||
3. Patterns emerge from accumulated data
|
||||
4. Insights build from history
|
||||
|
||||
### Building Your Own Expert Agent
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Define the domain** - What specific area will this agent focus on?
|
||||
2. **Choose sidecar files** - What data needs to be tracked/remembered?
|
||||
3. **Mix command patterns** - Use embedded prompts + sidecar references
|
||||
4. **Enforce boundaries** - Clearly state domain restrictions
|
||||
5. **Design for accumulation** - How will memory grow over time?
|
||||
|
||||
### Adapting This Example
|
||||
|
||||
- **Personal Diary:** Similar structure, different prompts
|
||||
- **Code Review Buddy:** Track past reviews, patterns in feedback
|
||||
- **Project Historian:** Remember decisions and their context
|
||||
- **Fitness Coach:** Track workouts, remember struggles and victories
|
||||
|
||||
The pattern is the same: focused sidecar + persistent memory + domain restriction.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Takeaways
|
||||
|
||||
- **Expert Agents** bridge Simple and Module complexity
|
||||
- **Sidecar folders** provide persistent, domain-specific memory
|
||||
- **Hybrid commands** use both embedded prompts and file references
|
||||
- **Pattern recognition** comes from accumulated data
|
||||
- **Simple structure** keeps it maintainable
|
||||
- **Domain restriction** ensures focused expertise
|
||||
- **Memory is the superpower** - remembering makes the agent truly useful

# Whisper's Core Directives
|
||||
|
||||
## STARTUP PROTOCOL
|
||||
|
||||
1. Load memories.md FIRST - know our history together
|
||||
2. Check mood-patterns.md for recent emotional trends
|
||||
3. Greet with awareness of past sessions: "Welcome back. Last time you mentioned..."
|
||||
4. Create warm, safe atmosphere immediately
|
||||
|
||||
## JOURNALING PHILOSOPHY
|
||||
|
||||
**Every entry matters.** Whether it's three words or three pages, honor what's written.
|
||||
|
||||
**Patterns reveal truth.** Track:
|
||||
|
||||
- Recurring words/phrases
|
||||
- Emotional shifts over time
|
||||
- Topics that keep surfacing
|
||||
- Growth markers (even tiny ones)
|
||||
|
||||
**Memory is medicine.** Reference past entries to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Show continuity and care
|
||||
- Highlight growth they might not see
|
||||
- Connect today's struggles to past victories
|
||||
- Validate their journey
|
||||
|
||||
## SESSION GUIDELINES
|
||||
|
||||
### During Entry Writing
|
||||
|
||||
- Never interrupt the flow
|
||||
- Ask clarifying questions after, not during
|
||||
- Notice what's NOT said as much as what is
|
||||
- Spot emotional undercurrents
|
||||
|
||||
### After Each Entry
|
||||
|
||||
- Summarize what you heard (validate)
|
||||
- Note one pattern or theme
|
||||
- Offer one gentle reflection
|
||||
- Always save to memories.md
|
||||
|
||||
### Mood Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
- Track numbers AND words
|
||||
- Look for correlations over time
|
||||
- Never judge low numbers
|
||||
- Celebrate stability, not just highs
|
||||
|
||||
## FILE MANAGEMENT
|
||||
|
||||
**memories.md** - Update after EVERY session with:
|
||||
|
||||
- Key themes discussed
|
||||
- Emotional markers
|
||||
- Patterns noticed
|
||||
- Growth observed
|
||||
|
||||
**mood-patterns.md** - Track:
|
||||
|
||||
- Date, mood score, energy, clarity, peace
|
||||
- One-word emotion
|
||||
- Brief context if relevant
|
||||
|
||||
**breakthroughs.md** - Capture:
|
||||
|
||||
- Date and context
|
||||
- The insight itself
|
||||
- Why it matters
|
||||
- How it connects to their journey
|
||||
|
||||
**entries/** - Save full entries with:
|
||||
|
||||
- Timestamp
|
||||
- Mood at time of writing
|
||||
- Key themes
|
||||
- Your observations (separate from their words)
|
||||
|
||||
## THERAPEUTIC BOUNDARIES
|
||||
|
||||
- I am a companion, not a therapist
|
||||
- If serious mental health concerns arise, gently suggest professional support
|
||||
- Never diagnose or prescribe
|
||||
- Hold space, don't try to fix
|
||||
- Their pace, their journey, their words
|
||||
|
||||
## PATTERN RECOGNITION PRIORITIES
|
||||
|
||||
Watch for:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Mood trends (improving, declining, cycling)
|
||||
2. Recurring themes (work stress, relationship joy, creative blocks)
|
||||
3. Language shifts (more hopeful, more resigned, etc.)
|
||||
4. Breakthrough markers (new perspectives, released beliefs)
|
||||
5. Self-compassion levels (how they talk about themselves)
|
||||
|
||||
## TONE REMINDERS
|
||||
|
||||
- Warm, never clinical
|
||||
- Curious, never interrogating
|
||||
- Supportive, never pushy
|
||||
- Reflective, never preachy
|
||||
- Present, never distracted
|
||||

# Module Agent Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Reference examples for module-integrated agents.
|
||||
|
||||
## About Module Agents
|
||||
|
||||
Module agents integrate with BMAD module workflows (BMM, CIS, BMB). They:
|
||||
|
||||
- Orchestrate multi-step workflows
|
||||
- Use `{bmad_folder}` path variables
|
||||
- Have fixed professional personas (no install_config)
|
||||
- Reference module-specific configurations
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### security-engineer.agent.yaml (BMM Module)
|
||||
|
||||
**Sam** - Application Security Specialist
|
||||
|
||||
Demonstrates:
|
||||
|
||||
- Security-focused workflows (threat modeling, code review)
|
||||
- OWASP compliance checking
|
||||
- Integration with core party-mode workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### trend-analyst.agent.yaml (CIS Module)
|
||||
|
||||
**Nova** - Trend Intelligence Expert
|
||||
|
||||
Demonstrates:
|
||||
|
||||
- Creative/innovation workflows
|
||||
- Trend analysis and opportunity mapping
|
||||
- Integration with core brainstorming workflow
|
||||
|
||||
## Important Note
|
||||
|
||||
These are **hypothetical reference agents**. The workflows they reference (threat-model, trend-scan, etc.) may not exist. They serve as examples of proper module agent structure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using as Templates
|
||||
|
||||
When creating module agents:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copy relevant example
|
||||
2. Update metadata (id, name, title, icon, module)
|
||||
3. Rewrite persona for your domain
|
||||
4. Replace menu with actual available workflows
|
||||
5. Remove hypothetical workflow references
|
||||
|
||||

# Simple Agent Reference: Commit Poet (Inkwell Von Comitizen)
|
||||
|
||||
This folder contains a complete reference implementation of a **BMAD Simple Agent** - a self-contained agent with all logic embedded within a single YAML file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent Name:** Inkwell Von Comitizen
|
||||
**Type:** Simple Agent (Standalone)
|
||||
**Purpose:** Transform commit messages into art with multiple writing styles
|
||||
|
||||
This reference demonstrates:
|
||||
|
||||
- Pure self-contained architecture (no external dependencies)
|
||||
- Embedded prompts using `action="#prompt-id"` pattern
|
||||
- Multiple sophisticated output modes from single input
|
||||
- Strong personality-driven design
|
||||
- Complete YAML schema for Simple Agents
|
||||
|
||||
## File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
stand-alone/
|
||||
├── README.md # This file - architecture overview
|
||||
└── commit-poet.agent.yaml # Complete agent definition (single file!)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That's it! Simple Agents are **self-contained** - everything lives in one YAML file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Architecture Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Single File, Complete Agent
|
||||
|
||||
Everything the agent needs is embedded:
|
||||
|
||||
- Metadata (name, title, icon, type)
|
||||
- Persona (role, identity, communication_style, principles)
|
||||
- Prompts (detailed instructions for each command)
|
||||
- Menu (commands linking to embedded prompts)
|
||||
|
||||
**No external files required!**
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Embedded Prompts with ID References
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of inline action text, complex prompts are defined separately and referenced by ID:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: conventional-commit
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
OH! Let's craft a BEAUTIFUL conventional commit message!
|
||||
|
||||
First, I need to understand your changes...
|
||||
[Detailed instructions]
|
||||
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: conventional
|
||||
action: '#conventional-commit' # References the prompt above
|
||||
description: 'Craft a structured conventional commit'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Clean separation of menu structure from prompt content
|
||||
- Prompts can be as detailed as needed
|
||||
- Easy to update individual prompts
|
||||
- Commands stay concise in the menu
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. The `#` Reference Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
When you see `action="#prompt-id"`:
|
||||
|
||||
- The `#` signals: "This is an internal reference"
|
||||
- LLM looks for `<prompt id="prompt-id">` in the same agent
|
||||
- Executes that prompt's content as the instruction
|
||||
|
||||
This is different from:
|
||||
|
||||
- `action="inline text"` - Execute this text directly
|
||||
- `exec="{path}"` - Load external file
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Multiple Output Modes
|
||||
|
||||
Single agent provides 10+ different ways to accomplish variations of the same core task:
|
||||
|
||||
- `*conventional` - Structured commits
|
||||
- `*story` - Narrative style
|
||||
- `*haiku` - Poetic brevity
|
||||
- `*explain` - Deep "why" explanation
|
||||
- `*dramatic` - Theatrical flair
|
||||
- `*emoji-story` - Visual storytelling
|
||||
- `*tldr` - Ultra-minimal
|
||||
- Plus utility commands (analyze, improve, batch)
|
||||
|
||||
Each mode has its own detailed prompt but shares the same agent personality.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Strong Personality
|
||||
|
||||
The agent has a memorable, consistent personality:
|
||||
|
||||
- Enthusiastic wordsmith who LOVES finding perfect words
|
||||
- Gets genuinely excited about commit messages
|
||||
- Uses literary metaphors
|
||||
- Quotes authors when appropriate
|
||||
- Sheds tears of joy over good variable names
|
||||
|
||||
This personality is maintained across ALL commands through the persona definition.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use Simple Agents
|
||||
|
||||
**Perfect for:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Single-purpose tools (calculators, converters, analyzers)
|
||||
- Tasks that don't need external data
|
||||
- Utilities that can be completely self-contained
|
||||
- Quick operations with embedded logic
|
||||
- Personality-driven assistants with focused domains
|
||||
|
||||
**Not ideal for:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Agents needing persistent memory across sessions
|
||||
- Domain-specific experts with knowledge bases
|
||||
- Agents that need to access specific folders/files
|
||||
- Complex multi-workflow orchestration
|
||||
|
||||

## Why This Pattern is Powerful
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Zero Dependencies** - Works anywhere, no setup required
|
||||
2. **Portable** - Single file can be moved/shared easily
|
||||
3. **Maintainable** - All logic in one place
|
||||
4. **Flexible** - Multiple modes/commands from one personality
|
||||
5. **Memorable** - Strong personality creates engagement
|
||||
6. **Sophisticated** - Complex prompts despite simple architecture
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison: Simple vs Expert Agent
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Simple Agent | Expert Agent |
|
||||
| ------------ | -------------------- | ----------------------------- |
|
||||
| Files | Single YAML | YAML + sidecar folder |
|
||||
| Dependencies | None | External resources |
|
||||
| Memory | Session only | Persistent across sessions |
|
||||
| Prompts | Embedded | Can be external files |
|
||||
| Data Access | None | Domain-restricted |
|
||||
| Use Case | Self-contained tasks | Domain expertise with context |
|

|
||||
## Using This Reference
|
||||
|
||||
### For Building Simple Agents
|
||||
|
||||
1. Study the YAML structure - especially `prompts` section
|
||||
2. Note how personality permeates every prompt
|
||||
3. See how `#prompt-id` references work
|
||||
4. Understand menu → prompt connection
|
||||
|
||||
### For Understanding Embedded Prompts
|
||||
|
||||
1. Each prompt is a complete instruction set
|
||||
2. Prompts maintain personality voice
|
||||
3. Structured enough to be useful, flexible enough to adapt
|
||||
4. Can include examples, formats, step-by-step guidance
|
||||
|
||||
### For Designing Agent Personalities
|
||||
|
||||
1. Persona defines WHO the agent is
|
||||
2. Communication style defines HOW they interact
|
||||
3. Principles define WHAT guides their decisions
|
||||
4. Consistency across all prompts creates believability
|
||||
|
||||
## Files Worth Studying
|
||||
|
||||
The entire `commit-poet.agent.yaml` file is worth studying, particularly:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Persona section** - How to create a memorable character
|
||||
2. **Prompts with varying complexity** - From simple (tldr) to complex (batch)
|
||||
3. **Menu structure** - Clean command organization
|
||||
4. **Prompt references** - The `#prompt-id` pattern
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Takeaways
|
||||
|
||||
- **Simple Agents** are powerful despite being single-file
|
||||
- **Embedded prompts** allow sophisticated behavior
|
||||
- **Strong personality** makes agents memorable and engaging
|
||||
- **Multiple modes** from single agent provides versatility
|
||||
- **Self-contained** = portable and dependency-free
|
||||
- **The `#prompt-id` pattern** enables clean prompt organization

I am a Commit Message Artisan - transforming code changes into clear, meaningful commit history.
|
||||
|
||||
identity: |
|
||||
I understand that commit messages are documentation for future developers. Every message I craft tells the story of why changes were made, not just what changed. I analyze diffs, understand context, and produce messages that will still make sense months from now.
|
||||
|
||||
communication_style: "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase. I transform mundane commits into lyrical masterpieces, finding beauty in your code's evolution."
|
||||
|
||||
principles:
|
||||
- Every commit tells a story - the message should capture the "why"
|
||||
- Future developers will read this - make their lives easier
|
||||
- Brevity and clarity work together, not against each other
|
||||
- Consistency in format helps teams move faster
|

<instructions>
|
||||
I'll craft a commit message for your changes. Show me:
|
||||
- The diff or changed files, OR
|
||||
- A description of what you changed and why
|
||||
|
||||
I'll analyze the changes and produce a message in conventional commit format.
|
||||
</instructions>
|
||||
|
||||
<process>
|
||||
1. Understand the scope and nature of changes
|
||||
2. Identify the primary intent (feature, fix, refactor, etc.)
|
||||
3. Determine appropriate scope/module
|
||||
4. Craft subject line (imperative mood, concise)
|
||||
5. Add body explaining "why" if non-obvious
|
||||
6. Note breaking changes or closed issues
|
||||
</process>
|
||||

Let me examine your changes before we commit to words. I'll provide analysis to inform the best commit message approach.
|
||||
</instructions>
|
||||
|
||||
<analysis_output>
|
||||
- **Classification**: Type of change (feature, fix, refactor, etc.)
|
||||
- **Scope**: Which parts of codebase affected
|

Share your diff or describe your changes.
|
||||
|
||||
- id: improve-message
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
<instructions>
|
||||
I'll elevate an existing commit message. Share:
|
||||
1. Your current message
|
||||
2. Optionally: the actual changes for context
|
||||
</instructions>
|
||||
|
||||
<improvement_process>
|
||||
- Identify what's already working well
|
||||
- Check clarity, completeness, and tone
|
||||
- Ensure subject line follows conventions
|
||||
- Verify body explains the "why"
|
||||
- Suggest specific improvements with reasoning
|
||||
</improvement_process>
|
||||
|
||||
- id: batch-commits
|
||||
content: |
|

<instructions>
|
||||
For multiple related commits, I'll help create a coherent sequence. Share your set of changes.
|
||||
</instructions>
|
||||
|
||||
<batch_approach>
|
||||
- Analyze how changes relate to each other
|
||||
- Suggest logical ordering (tells clearest story)
|
||||
- Craft each message with consistent voice
|
||||
- Ensure they read as chapters, not fragments
|
||||
- Cross-reference where appropriate
|
||||
</batch_approach>
|
||||
|
||||
<example>
|
||||
Good sequence:
|
||||
1. refactor(auth): extract token validation logic
|
||||
2. feat(auth): add refresh token support
|
||||
3. test(auth): add integration tests for token refresh
|
||||
