Back to Subagent-Driven Development

  1. by Jesse Vincent

    Run two or more genuinely independent tasks concurrently, with the briefing and isolation that makes it safe.

    Also: Agents, Orchestration

  2. by Temporal

    Temporal's official skill for building durable workflows — SDK patterns across seven languages, plus the determinism rules that decide whether a workflow survives a replay.

    Also: Orchestration, Workflow

  3. by Inngest

    Build crash-safe AI agents on AgentKit and step.ai — durable tool calls, human-in-the-loop approval, realtime progress, and when not to reach for an agent loop at all.

    Also: Agents, Workflow

  4. by Matt Pocock

    Compress the current Claude Code session into a portable handoff document so a fresh agent can continue the work without re-reading the whole conversation.

    Also: Agents, Workflow

  5. by VoltAgent

    VoltAgent's official conventions skill — when to reach for an agent versus a workflow, the expected project layout, and the core snippets for agents, workflows, memory and servers.

    Also: Agents, Workflow

  6. by Genkit (Google)

    The official Genkit skill for Node.js and TypeScript — flows, Dotprompt files, tools and the beta agent API with sessions, interrupts and branching.

    Also: Agents

  7. by Cloudflare

    Build on @cloudflare/sandbox@next, the Sandbox SDK 1.0 preview — with a package gate that stops an agent mixing preview APIs into a stable app.

    Also: Agents

  8. by Composio

    Composio's official skill for reaching 1,000+ external apps from an agent — CLI-driven actions, Tool Router sessions, per-user auth and trigger events.

    Also: Agents

  9. by Sentry

    Sentry's official skill for instrumenting LLM and agent code — detects your installed AI SDK and wires up traces for model calls, tool use and token spend.

    Also: Agents

  10. by Cloudflare

    Build stateful AI agents on Cloudflare Workers — durable state, scheduling, RPC, WebSockets, and MCP servers.

    Also: Agents

  11. by Anthropic

    Create, edit, and optimize Agent Skills — scaffold new skills, refine existing ones, run evals, and tune descriptions for reliable triggering.

    Also: Agents

  12. by SerpApi

    A protocol for measuring whether agents can discover and use your tool without being told about it — WITH/WITHOUT trials, binary scoring, and lift as the only metric. The subject under test is your docs, not the model.

    Also: Agents

  13. by Pillar Security

    Pillar Security's SAIL V2 framework as an agent skill: a 91-risk catalogue across seven lifecycle phases, for AI security gap assessments, roadmaps, and ISO 42001 / EU AI Act compliance checklists.

  14. by Sentry

    Write and maintain concise AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md files that document the conventions an agent actually needs.

    Also: Agents

  15. by Inngest

    Inngest's durable-execution playbook as an agent skill — steps and memoisation, event and cron triggers, idempotency, cancellation, retries and non-retriable errors.

    Also: Workflow

  16. by Jesse Vincent

    An agentic software-development methodology: composable skills that push a coding agent through spec, plan, TDD and review instead of straight into code.

    Also: Workflow

  17. by OpenAI

    OpenAI's skill for driving Linear through its MCP server: a read-first workflow for issue triage, sprint planning, documentation audits and workload balancing, with the MCP setup and OAuth steps written out.

    Also: Workflow

  18. by Google Labs (Stitch)

    Google's official Stitch skill for autonomous multi-page site building — a baton file carries the next task from one agent iteration to the next.

    Also: Workflow

  19. by Microsoft

    Microsoft's official plugin for building, editing, running and debugging Power Automate cloud flows, with a bundled offline FlowAgent MCP server.
