# agent-builder — build any goal-declared agent This skill is the meta-system that generalizes the proven diligence agent ("Atlas") into a reusable pipeline: declare a goal, and out comes a portable, self-hardening, publishable agent. Atlas shipped to prod using the patterns this skill reuses; agent-builder turns those patterns from "build one diligence agent" into "build any agent". You build the builder, not the agent's output. ## Explicit goal Take a user's declared goal ("an agent that does X") and produce a **portable git repo** on the OpenClaw/Claude-Code harness that achieves it, ships its own adversarial safeguards by default, survives a fresh no-memory publish gauntlet twice with zero CRITICALs before it is allowed to ship, and serializes to a `.af` agent-file for handover. Refuse to declare an agent publishable until the gate says so. ## Lifecycle ``` [1] DECLARE — resolve the goal to ONE testable sentence. Ask 2-3 clarifying Qs only if it is too vague to test. Write it to agent.config.json. [2] CHOOSE — pick runtime/model/tools + write policies/hooks/safeguards. The decision table below drives every choice from the goal. [3] SCAFFOLD — scripts/scaffold_agent.py emits the portable repo (CLAUDE.md, .claude/skills/ incl. the self-adversarial critic BY DEFAULT, .claude/hooks/, .mcp.json, policies/, tests/, manifest). [4] BUILD — flesh out the domain skills/prompts so it achieves the goal;
