create-agent

The 'create-agent' skill provides developers with a framework to bootstrap a modular AI agent using the OpenRouter SDK. It addresses the challenge of integrating multiple language models and building a flexible agent architecture by offering a standalone agent core that can operate independently and be extended through hooks. This modular approach allows developers to decouple the agent's core logic from its interfaces, ensuring easier maintenance and adaptability to various application environments.

The skill's main features include a robust agent core that supports lifecycle hooks and event-driven interactions, access to over 300 language models via the OpenRouter SDK, and an optional Ink TUI for a terminal-based user interface. The architecture is designed to allow multiple frontends such as HTTP APIs, Discord bots, or command-line interfaces to interact seamlessly with the agent core. Developers can also leverage TypeScript and related tooling to ensure type safety and streamline development, while environment variables secure API keys, preventing accidental exposure.

Ideal use cases for this skill include creating AI-powered assistants, chatbots, or automation tools that require a flexible backend capable of interacting with various inputs and outputs. Target users are developers familiar with JavaScript, TypeScript, and React who want a foundation for building extensible AI agents. The modularity allows both headless applications and interactive terminal interfaces, making it suitable for experimentation, prototyping, and production-ready AI services.
