Specialist AI personas with deep expertise in specific domains.
What are Agents?
Section titled “What are Agents?”Agents are specialist AI personas configured with domain-specific expertise, tools, and behavioral patterns. Each agent is designed to excel in a particular area of software development.
When you make a request, AG Kit’s Intelligent Routing system automatically detects which agents are needed and activates them for you. You can also mention them by name to force a specific perspective.
How to Use Agents
Section titled “How to Use Agents”No need to mention agents explicitly! The system automatically detects and applies the right specialist(s) based on your request:

Use the security-auditor agent to review authentication...Teamwork & Orchestration
Agents can work together! Use the orchestrator agent to coordinate multiple specialists on complex tasks.
