🎭 Agency Agents — AI Specialist Personalities Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection. A curated collection of 50+ specialized AI agent personalities for Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, Copilot, and more. Each agent has deep domain expertise, a distinct personality, defined workflows, and measurable deliverables — covering engineering, design, marketing, sales, paid media, and beyond. Installation Prerequisites git clone https://github.com/msitarzewski/agency-agents.git cd agency-agents Claude Code (Recommended)
Copy all agents to Claude's agents directory
cp -r agency-agents/* ~/.claude/agents/
Or symlink for auto-updates
ln -s /path/to/agency-agents ~/.claude/agents/agency Then in any Claude Code session: Hey Claude, activate Frontend Developer mode and help me build a React component All Other Tools (Interactive Installer)
Step 1: Generate integration files for all supported tools
./scripts/convert.sh
Step 2: Auto-detect installed tools and install interactively
./scripts/install.sh
Or target a specific tool

In Claude Code chat:
Activate the Backend Architect agent and help me design a REST API for a multi-tenant SaaS app. Using Multiple Agents in Sequence
First, design the system
Activate the Software Architect agent. Design the domain model for an e-commerce platform.
Then implement
Now activate the Senior Developer agent and implement the Order aggregate in Laravel.
Then review
Activate the Code Reviewer agent and review the implementation above. Referencing an Agent File Directly
Pass an agent as a system prompt in Claude CLI
claude --system-prompt " $( cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-frontend-developer.md ) " \ "Build a responsive product card component in React with Tailwind CSS" Using Agents in Cursor After running ./scripts/install.sh --tool cursor , agent rules land in .cursor/rules/ . Reference them in chat: @engineering-frontend-developer Build a data table component with sorting and pagination. Or set a default rule in .cursor/rules/default.mdc :
alwaysApply : true
You are operating as the Senior Developer agent from The Agency. Refer to .cursor/rules/engineering-senior-developer.md for your full persona and workflows. Using Agents with Aider
Use a single agent as the system prompt
aider --system-prompt " $( cat agency-agents/engineering/engineering-security-engineer.md ) "
Or reference in .aider.conf.yml
echo "system-prompt: agency-agents/engineering/engineering-devops-automator.md"
.aider.conf.yml Using Agents in Windsurf ./scripts/install.sh --tool windsurf
Agents are written to .windsurf/rules/
Activate in chat: Use the UX Architect agent rules from .windsurf/rules/ to audit my CSS architecture. Real Workflow Examples Full-Stack Feature with Multiple Agents
1. Architecture phase
cat
task.md << 'EOF' I need to add real-time notifications to my Node.js + React app. Users should see in-app alerts and optionally receive email digests. EOF
Invoke Software Architect
claude --system-prompt " $( cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-software-architect.md ) " < task.md
2. Backend implementation
claude --system-prompt " $( cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-backend-architect.md ) " \ "Implement the notification service based on the architecture above using PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY and Socket.io"
3. Frontend implementation
claude --system-prompt " $( cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-frontend-developer.md ) " \ "Build the React notification bell component that connects to the Socket.io feed"
4. Security review
claude --system-prompt " $( cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-security-engineer.md ) " \ "Review the notification system implementation for security issues" Code Review Workflow
Generate a diff and pipe to the Code Reviewer agent
git diff main .. feature/payment-integration | \ claude --system-prompt " $( cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-code-reviewer.md ) " \ "Review this PR diff. Focus on security, correctness, and maintainability." Database Optimization
Paste slow query log and activate Database Optimizer
claude --system-prompt " $( cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-database-optimizer.md ) " << 'EOF' Here is a slow query from our PostgreSQL logs (avg 4200ms): SELECT u., p., o.* FROM users u LEFT JOIN profiles p ON p.user_id = u.id LEFT JOIN orders o ON o.user_id = u.id WHERE u.created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days' ORDER BY o.created_at DESC; Table sizes: users=2M rows, orders=18M rows. No indexes on created_at columns. EOF Incident Response
Structured incident kick-off
claude --system-prompt " $( cat ~/.claude/agents/engineering-incident-response-commander.md ) " << 'EOF' SEV-1 INCIDENT: Payment processing returning 503 errors since 14:32 UTC. Error rate: 94%. Affected: checkout, subscription renewals. Recent deploys: payment-service v2.4.1 at 14:15 UTC. EOF Creating Custom Agents Agent files follow a consistent markdown structure:

[Measurable outcome] Save custom agents to agency-agents/custom/ and re-run ./scripts/convert.sh to generate tool integrations. Contributing New Agents
Fork and clone
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/agency-agents.git
Create your agent in the appropriate division
cp engineering/engineering-senior-developer.md \ engineering/engineering-YOUR-SPECIALTY.md
Edit the file, then test it
claude --system-prompt " $( cat engineering/engineering-YOUR-SPECIALTY.md ) " \ "Give me a sample deliverable to demonstrate your capabilities"
Submit a PR
git checkout -b agent/your-specialty git add engineering/engineering-YOUR-SPECIALTY.md git commit -m "feat: add Your Specialty agent" git push origin agent/your-specialty Troubleshooting Agents not found in Claude Code ls ~/.claude/agents/
If empty, re-run:
cp -r /path/to/agency-agents/* ~/.claude/agents/ convert.sh fails with permission error chmod +x scripts/convert.sh scripts/install.sh ./scripts/convert.sh Cursor not picking up agent rules
Rules must be in project root .cursor/rules/
ls .cursor/rules/
Re-run installer targeting cursor
- ./scripts/install.sh
- --tool
- cursor
- Agent personality not activating
- Be explicit:
- "Activate the Frontend Developer agent"
- rather than just referencing the topic
- Paste the agent file contents directly into the system prompt if tool integration isn't working
- For Claude Code, confirm agents directory:
- claude config get agentsDir
- Agent conflicts when using multiple
- Activate one agent per conversation session
- For multi-agent workflows, use separate sessions or Claude Code's subagent feature
- Sequence agents explicitly: architect → implement → review
