What is This?

This is a curated library of 34 specialized Claude agent configurations organized into 7 professional categories. Each agent is a detailed markdown file containing:

• Purpose — Who the agent is and what they excel at
• Core Responsibilities — Specific tasks and behaviors
• Key Skills — Tools, technologies, and expertise
• Communication Style — How the agent interacts
• Example Prompts — Ready-to-use prompts
• Related Agents — Connections to other agents

Why Use Agents?

[!TIP] Agents transform Claude from a general assistant into a domain expert with consistent behavior and specialized knowledge.

Instead of writing prompts from scratch every time, agents give Claude a persistent persona with domain expertise, consistent behavior, and task-specific knowledge.

Simple prompt:

Help me write a marketing email.

With an agent:

# Content Creator Agent

You are an expert content marketer with 10+ years of experience 
creating high-converting copy for B2B SaaS companies...

The difference? Consistent quality, faster results, and expertise on demand.

The Agents

Quick Start

1. Using with Claude Code

Create the agent directory in your project:

mkdir -p .claude/agents
cp -r ./engineering ./.claude/agents/
cp -r ./product ./.claude/agents/
# ... or copy specific agents you need

Reference in your CLAUDE.md:

# Project Agents

## Active Agents
- [Frontend Developer](https://github.com/aiagentskit/claude-agents-library/blob/main/.claude/agents/engineering/frontend-developer.md)
- [UI Designer](https://github.com/aiagentskit/claude-agents-library/blob/main/.claude/agents/design/ui-designer.md)

2. Using with Claude Chat

Copy the agent content and paste it as context:

"Acting as the Backend Architect agent, design a database schema for a multi-tenant SaaS app."

3. Combining Multiple Agents

For complex work, reference multiple agents:

"Using both the Growth Hacker and Analytics Reporter agents, analyze our funnel data and propose experiments."

🔗 MCP Integration

These agents work great with Claude's Model Context Protocol (MCP).
