Does it automatically create new agents without permission?

No, it proposes new agents in AGENT_PROPOSALS.md and waits for user approval before scaffolding them from the standard template.

How is 'drift' detected in the registry?

Drift is detected by comparing the timestamps of scope files against the agent instructions to identify stale agents or those needing updates.

What formats are used for the agent registry?

The skill maintains the registry in both Markdown for human readability and JSON for programmatic access and internal tracking.

How does the agent_manager detect missing agents?

It compares existing agent files against your repository's index and architecture maps to identify gaps, then lists suggestions in a proposals file.

Productivity & Workflow

Manages the automated registry, proposal system, and lifecycle of specialized AI agents within a local-first workstation.

The Agent Lifecycle Manager (agent_manager) is a specialized skill for Claude Code designed to maintain an organized ecosystem of AI agents within the Codex quant-lab environment. It automatically synchronizes agent registries, detects documentation drift, and identifies gaps in agent coverage based on your repository architecture. By scaffolding new agent instructions from templates and maintaining a detailed action log, it ensures that your quantitative research workspace remains scalable, well-documented, and consistently managed without manual overhead.
