# agent-builder
The platform's own meta-agent. Generates, tests, and deploys new
a2a-pack agents from a natural-language description.
## What it does
The single `build(name, prompt)` skill:
1. Builds an inner `deepagents` LangGraph configured with project tools and
packaged builder skills:
- `deepagent-agent-design` — when to use DeepAgents skills, subagents,
workspace backends, and deterministic tools
- `a2apack-agent-authoring` — how to shape `agent.py`, public `@skill`
schemas, runtime metadata, pricing, resources, and auth
- `deepagents-implementation-patterns` — concrete `create_deep_agent`
wiring for caller LLMs, skills, tools, and subagents
- `workspace-artifact-safety` — workspace grants, artifacts, bounded
subprocesses, and scope expansion
- `agent-quality-review` — pre-sandbox and pre-deploy checks for generated
agents
- `list_agent_files(name)` / `write_agent_file(name, path, content)`
/ `read_agent_file(name, path)` — boto3 → MinIO, scoped to
`agents/<name>/` in the caller's workspace
- `write_agent_skill(...)` — creates valid DeepAgents
`skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` bundles for generated agents, so rich
behavior lives in progressive-disclosure skills instead of fake tools
- `test_agent_in_sandbox(name)` — tarballs the workspace project,
spins a microVM with the public `a2a-pack` wheel installed, runs
`a2a card` to verify the scaffold is valid
- `cp_deploy_tarball(name, version, public)` — POSTs the tarball
to `/v1/agents/from-tarball` on the user's behalf using their
forwarded CP JWT
2. Streams the graph's tool calls back to the dashboard as
`agent_progress` events (so the user watches the build happen in
real time, not in silence).
3. Returns the live URL when the new agent finishes deploying.
## What it needs forwarded
Three platform-managed bits land on the inner skill via `RunContext`:
| Field | Source | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| `ctx.workspace.bucket` | grant minted by the orchestrator | yes |
| `ctx.llm` | caller's LLM creds (Card declares `llm_provisioning=caller_provided`) | yes — the LLM bill goes to the caller |
| `ctx.cp_jwt` | caller's CP JWT (Card declares `wants_cp_jwt=True`) | yes — used by `cp_deploy_tarball` |
The user opts into all three when they pick `agent-builder` from the
marketplace — the dashboard already surfaces these on the agent card.
## Pricing
`$0.10 / call`, plus your LLM cost via your own provider. The deployed
agent is yours forever; subsequent invocations of YOUR agent run on
their own pricing (whatever you set when generating it).
## How to call it
In the dashboard chat (Workspace tab):
```
use agent-builder.build to make a new agent named "csv-sanitizer" that takes a CSV path, strips whitespace from every column, deduplicates rows, and writes the cleaned file back next to the original
```
The orchestrator will discover agent-builder, hand off with the
required forwards, you'll watch the inner deepagents scaffold + test +
deploy in real time, then get a live URL.
## Local dev
```bash
cd apps/agent-builder
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e ../a2a -r requirements.txt
.venv/bin/a2a card # see what the Card looks like
.venv/bin/a2a validate
```
You can't run the full skill locally without a workspace bucket + CP
JWT — those come from the platform at invoke time.
