create-agent（创建 Agent）

Create Agent

Creates and registers new Overstory agents so Overclaw can recognize and use them. Automates the steps documented in .overstory/CREATING_AGENTS.md.

When to use

• You want to add a new agent type (e.g. troubleshooter, docs-writer) to Overclaw.
• You want to ensure all seven integration points are updated consistently.
• You want to suggest new agents from Overclaw logs, TROUBLESHOOTING.md, mulch, or project structure.

Scripts

create_agent.py

Main CLI for creating or validating agents.

Manual creation:

python3 scripts/create_agent.py \
  --name "troubleshooter" \
  --description "Analyzes logs and troubleshoots issues" \
  --capabilities "troubleshoot,debug,analyze" \
  --model "sonnet" \
  --tools "Read,Glob,Grep,Bash" \
  --can-spawn false \
  --constraints "read-only"

Options: --dry-run (preview only), --no-regenerate (skip gateway context regeneration), --rollback-on-fail (revert changes if validation fails).

Analysis mode (suggestions only):

python3 scripts/create_agent.py \
  --analyze-from-logs \
  --analyze-from-troubleshooting \
  --suggest-only

analyze_agent_needs.py

Helper for analysis mode: parses logs, TROUBLESHOOTING.md, mulch, and project tree to suggest new agent definitions. Can be run standalone or via create_agent.py --analyze-*.
