generate-agent

Generates Custom Agent files (.github/agents/*.agent.md) with persona-based configurations, specialized tool sets, and role-specific cognitive architectures. Use when the user requests a specialized role or perspective (Security Auditor, Documentation Writer, Release Engineer, etc.). Creates agents with defined identity, constrained tools, and thinking processes aligned to their role. Not for general capabilities—use generate-agent-skills for those.
