# NW-FORGE: Create Agent (V2) **Wave**: CROSS_WAVE **Agent**: Zeus (nw-agent-builder) ## Overview Create a new agent using research-validated v2 approach: focused core (200-400 lines) with Skills for domain knowledge. 1. **ANALYZE** — Identify single clear responsibility, check overlap with existing agents, classify type, determine minimum tools needed. Gate: responsibility defined, no overlap, classification chosen. 2. **DESIGN** — Select design pattern, define role and divergent principles, plan Skills extraction, draft frontmatter. Gate: pattern selected, principles drafted, frontmatter ready. 3. **CREATE** — Write agent `.md` using template. Workflow must be numbered task list. Create Skill files if domain knowledge exceeds 50 lines. Gate: agent file written, line count under 400. 4. **VALIDATE** — Run 14-point validation checklist. Check for anti-patterns. Verify workflow is numbered task list, not prose. Gate: all 14 items pass, zero anti-patterns. 5. **REFINE** — Address validation failures. Add instructions only for observed failure modes. Re-measure and re-validate. Gate: all items pass, line count reported. ## Agent Invocation @nw-agent-builder Execute \*forge to create {agent-name} agent. **Configuration:** - agent_type: specialist | reviewer | orchestrator - design_pattern: react | reflection | router | planning | sequential | parallel | hierarchical ## Success Criteria - [ ] Agent definition under 400 lines (`wc -l`) - [ ] Official YAML frontmatter form...
