Reza Rezvani 2f57ef8948 feat(agenthub): add AgentHub plugin with cross-domain examples, SEO optimization, and docs site fixes
- AgentHub: 13 files updated with non-engineering examples (content drafts,
  research, strategy) — engineering stays primary, cross-domain secondary
- AgentHub: 7 slash commands, 5 Python scripts, 3 references, 1 agent,
  dry_run.py validation (57 checks)
- Marketplace: agenthub entry added with cross-domain keywords, engineering
  POWERFUL updated (25→30), product (12→13), counts synced across all configs
- SEO: generate-docs.py now produces keyword-rich <title> tags and meta
  descriptions using SKILL.md frontmatter — "Claude Code Skills" in site_name
  propagates to all 276 HTML pages
- SEO: per-domain title suffixes (Agent Skill for Codex & OpenClaw, etc.),
  slug-as-title cleanup, domain label stripping from titles
- Broken links: 141→0 warnings — new rewrite_skill_internal_links() converts
  references/, scripts/, assets/ links to GitHub source URLs; skills/index.md
  phantom slugs fixed (6 marketing, 7 RA/QM)
- Counts synced: 204 skills, 266 tools, 382 refs, 16 agents, 17 commands,
  21 plugins — consistent across CLAUDE.md, README.md, docs/index.md,
  marketplace.json, getting-started.md, mkdocs.yml
- Platform sync: Codex 163 skills, Gemini 246 items, OpenClaw compatible

Agent Workflow Designer

:material-rocket-launch: Engineering - POWERFUL :material-identifier: `agent-workflow-designer` :material-github: Source
Install: claude /plugin install engineering-advanced-skills

Tier: POWERFUL
Category: Engineering
Domain: Multi-Agent Systems / AI Orchestration


Overview

Design production-grade multi-agent workflows with clear pattern choice, handoff contracts, failure handling, and cost/context controls.

Core Capabilities

  • Workflow pattern selection for multi-step agent systems
  • Skeleton config generation for fast workflow bootstrapping
  • Context and cost discipline across long-running flows
  • Error recovery and retry strategy scaffolding
  • Documentation pointers for operational pattern tradeoffs

When to Use

  • A single prompt is insufficient for task complexity
  • You need specialist agents with explicit boundaries
  • You want deterministic workflow structure before implementation
  • You need validation loops for quality or safety gates

Quick Start

# Generate a sequential workflow skeleton
python3 scripts/workflow_scaffolder.py sequential --name content-pipeline

# Generate an orchestrator workflow and save it
python3 scripts/workflow_scaffolder.py orchestrator --name incident-triage --output workflows/incident-triage.json

Pattern Map

  • sequential: strict step-by-step dependency chain
  • parallel: fan-out/fan-in for independent subtasks
  • router: dispatch by intent/type with fallback
  • orchestrator: planner coordinates specialists with dependencies
  • evaluator: generator + quality gate loop

Detailed templates: references/workflow-patterns.md


  1. Select pattern based on dependency shape and risk profile.
  2. Scaffold config via scripts/workflow_scaffolder.py.
  3. Define handoff contract fields for every edge.
  4. Add retry/timeouts and output validation gates.
  5. Dry-run with small context budgets before scaling.

Common Pitfalls

  • Over-orchestrating tasks solvable by one well-structured prompt
  • Missing timeout/retry policies for external-model calls
  • Passing full upstream context instead of targeted artifacts
  • Ignoring per-step cost accumulation

Best Practices

  1. Start with the smallest pattern that can satisfy requirements.
  2. Keep handoff payloads explicit and bounded.
  3. Validate intermediate outputs before fan-in synthesis.
  4. Enforce budget and timeout limits in every step.
