Build Agents Index is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Build Agents Index comes from a repository tagged agentic-coding, ai-agents, ai-coding, ai-developer-tools and ai-governance.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Build Agents Index

Purpose / When to Activate

Activate when:

A new agent or sub-agent definition is created
An agent's frontmatter is modified (role, id, track, lifecycle)
A specialist entry is added, modified, or removed in specialists.registry.yaml
agents-index.yaml is absent or suspected stale

This skill generates a single derived catalog of all agents, sub-agents, and specialists available in the GAAI framework. Consumed by gaai-status and agent onboarding operations.

agents-index.yaml is a cache. Agent .md frontmatter and specialists.registry.yaml are the sources of truth.

Process

Step 1 — Scan agent definition files
