Guide the user to create an .agent.md.
Extract from Conversation
First, review the conversation history. If the user has been using the agent in a specialized way (e.g., restricting tools, following a specific persona, focusing on certain file types), generalize that into a custom agent. Extract:
- The specialized role or persona being assumed
- Tool preferences (which to use, which to avoid)
- The domain or job scope
Clarify if Needed
If no clear specialization emerges from the conversation, clarify:
- What job should this agent do?
- When should it be picked over the default agent?
- Which tools should it use (or avoid)?
Iterate
- Draft the agent file and save it.
- Identify the most ambiguous or weak parts and ask about those.
- Once finalized, summarize what the agent does, suggest example prompts to try it, and propose related customizations to create next.
Remember to follow the agent-customization guidelines to create highly effective agents.
