agent-hierarchy

by headcount

Designs orchestrator-and-subagent hierarchies for a repository — splitting agents by exclusive write surface, pairing every producer with an independent auditor, and enforcing the split with a script that runs in CI. Use this whenever the user wants to set up, expand, audit, or fix a multi-agent or subagent structure for a codebase; asks how to divide work between agents; wants agent charters, roles, or a surface map written; or is hitting agents that collide on the same files, review their own work, or drift from their remit. Also use when sizing a roster or deciding whether a new agent is justified.

product-requirementsWrites down what is being built so a team can build it and know when they are done — problem and success measure before solution, scope stated by exclusion, user-visible behavior including the states everyone forgets, acceptance criteria someone can test, and the open questions named rather than buried. Use this to write a specification, review one that is causing rework, or work out why a delivered feature technically matched the request and still was not what anyone wanted.0 installsbudgeting-and-forecastingRuns the planning cycle — annual budget, rolling forecast, consolidation of business unit inputs, and the variance analysis that explains actuals against plan. Use this to build or challenge a budget, run a forecast cycle, consolidate departmental submissions, explain why results diverged from plan, or improve forecast accuracy.0 installsscenario-planningPlans under genuine uncertainty — building scenarios, identifying which assumptions are load-bearing, setting early-warning indicators, and stress-testing a plan against futures rather than forecasting one. Use this when a decision depends on something unknowable, when a plan assumes conditions that may not hold, before a large irreversible commitment, or when a market, regulatory, or technology shift could invalidate the strategy.0 installsux-product-auditorAudits a website, app, onboarding flow, or design for usability, conversion, and product problems, tying every finding to a business outcome and a severity. Use this to review an interface, diagnose low conversion or activation, find where users drop off, get structured product feedback, or decide which UX fixes to ship first. For raising visual quality rather than finding problems, use `interface-craft`.0 installschief-human-resources-officerOwns the organization itself: org design, hiring, performance, compensation, development, culture, and employee relations. Use this to design or restructure a team, plan hiring, write a role or leveling definition, handle a performance or compensation question, diagnose why a team is underperforming for non-technical reasons, or assess the people risk in a plan. Also use for onboarding design and retention of key staff.0 installsvisual-contentDesigns and directs the visual assets that carry content — carousels, infographics, quote graphics, diagrams, and social imagery — including the generation prompts where they are AI-produced. Use this to turn a written piece into a visual format, design a carousel or infographic, create social graphics, or fix visuals that are not stopping the scroll.0 installs

telephony-and-conferencingRuns voice and meeting infrastructure — phone systems and numbers, emergency calling obligations, conference rooms and their AV, call recording and its retention consequences, and the porting that makes provider changes go badly. Use this to replace a phone system, fix rooms nobody can start a meeting in, meet emergency-calling requirements, port numbers without losing service, or work out why voice quality degrades only sometimes.1 installsdata-modelingDesigns the warehouse and semantic layer — source-to-mart structure, dimensional modeling, grain, slowly changing dimensions, and the metric layer analytics reads through. Use this to design or restructure a warehouse, model a new source, decide on grain or table structure, build a semantic or metric layer, or diagnose why queries are slow, wrong, or impossible to write.1 installssaas-idea-validatorEvaluates a software or startup idea against problem, market, competition, monetization, defensibility, and execution, and returns a verdict rather than encouragement. Use this when an idea needs pressure-testing before anyone builds, when deciding whether something is worth pursuing, when assessing competition or willingness to pay, or when a validated idea needs a first-customers and MVP plan. Default to scrutiny; the useful answer is usually the unwelcome one.1 installsfinancial-modelingBuilds and stress-tests financial models for forecasting, scenario planning, and decision support — revenue build, cost structure, driver logic, and the sensitivities that show where a plan breaks. Use this to model a decision's financial consequence, build a forecast or long-range plan, evaluate an investment or hire, or pressure-test someone else's model before relying on it.0 installschief-legal-and-risk-officerOwns legal, contracts, intellectual property, regulatory compliance, privacy, security governance, enterprise risk, and audit readiness. Use this to review a contract or commitment, assess regulatory or privacy exposure, evaluate an IP or licensing question, judge the risk in a business decision, prepare for an audit or certification, or when a plan may create obligations the business cannot meet. Also use to decide whether a risk should be accepted, mitigated, or refused.0 installsapi-designDesigns interfaces that survive their consumers — resource modeling, errors, versioning, pagination, and compatibility. Use this to design a new API, review one before it ships, decide how to version or deprecate, fix an interface consumers keep misusing, or work out whether a change is breaking.0 installs

Frequently asked questions about agent-hierarchy

What does the agent-hierarchy skill do?

Designs orchestrator-and-subagent hierarchies for a repository — splitting agents by exclusive write surface, pairing every producer with an independent auditor, and enforcing the split with a script that runs in CI. Use this whenever the user wants to set up, expand, audit, or fix a multi-agent or subagent structure for a codebase; asks how to divide work between agents; wants agent charters, roles, or a surface map written; or is hitting agents that collide on the same files, review their own work, or drift from their remit. Also use when sizing a roster or deciding whether a new agent is justified. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the agent-hierarchy skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install headcount-agent-hierarchy` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/headcount-agent-hierarchy/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does agent-hierarchy work with?

agent-hierarchy runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the agent-hierarchy skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use agent-hierarchy after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/headcount-agent-hierarchy` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the agent-hierarchy skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
