Prompt Agent

What it does

The prompt-agent skill enables AI agents to discover, install, and manage other skills within the TrustedSkills registry. It acts as a dynamic extension loader, allowing an agent's capabilities to expand based on user requirements or task complexity without manual code intervention.

When to use it

• Dynamic Capability Expansion: When an agent encounters a task outside its current knowledge base and needs to acquire specialized tools instantly.
• Modular Workflow Construction: When building agents that must adapt their behavior by loading specific plugins for different domains (e.g., coding, analysis, creative writing).
• User-Driven Customization: When end-users want to tailor an agent's functionality by selecting and installing specific skill modules from the registry.
• Context-Aware Tooling: When an agent needs to verify if a required tool exists in the registry before attempting to execute a complex multi-step operation.

Key capabilities

• Registry discovery of available skills for AI agents.
• Installation and activation of new skill modules.
• Management of installed extensions within the agent environment.
• Integration with the TrustedSkills ecosystem (prompt-security/clawsec).

Example prompts

• "Install the data-analysis skill so you can process my CSV files."
• "Check if a legal-advisor skill is available in the registry and install it."
• "List all currently installed skills and remove the deprecated legacy-parser module."

Tips & gotchas

• Ensure the agent has write permissions to the installation directory, as installing new skills modifies the local environment.
• Verify that the target skill is compatible with your specific AI model version before attempting installation to prevent runtime errors.
