Workflow — Agent Collections
Update the AGENT COLLECTIONS table in README.md by researching the listed repos in parallel. Launch a research agent, merge results, present changes, update table if approved.
The Repos
| # | Repo | Owner |
|---|------|-------|
| 1 | msitarzewski/agency-agents | msitarzewski |
| 2 | VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents | VoltAgent (curated awesome-list) |
When new agent-collection repos are discovered, add them here AND to the research prompt in Phase 1.
Table Format
The README table has these columns:
| Name | ★ | <img src="!/tags/a.svg" height="14"> |
- Name:
[Short Name](github-url)— use the repo's recognizable short name (e.g.,msitarzewski/agency-agents,awesome-claude-code-subagents). Use fullowner/repoonly if the bare name is ambiguous. - ★: Star count rounded to
k(e.g., 92k, 19k, 1.2k). Under 1000 show exact number. - Agent count: Just the number. For awesome-lists where agents are links not files, use
N+ (curated list)form.
Sort order: Sorted by stars descending (highest first).
Phase 0: Read Current State
Read these files:
README.md— the## 🤖 AGENT COLLECTIONStable (note current stars and agent counts)changelog/agent-collections/changelog.md— previous changelog entries (may not exist yet — create it on first run)
Phase 1: Launch Research Agent
Immediately spawn one development-workflows-research-agent covering all repos. (The existing research agent is generic — it counts agents/skills/commands/stars for any repo.)
Research these Claude Code agent-collection repositories. Each is primarily a library of subagent definition files (
.mdfiles defining agents), NOT a full workflow methodology.Repo 1: msitarzewski/agency-agents (https://github.com/msitarzewski/agency-agents) — agency-style subagent collection Repo 2: VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents (https://github.com/VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents) — curated awesome-list (links to external subagents, not all agents are stored as files in the repo)
For EACH repo, return:
- Stars — use GitHub API
https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}, readstargazers_count. Round tok.- Agent count — count subagent definition
.mdfiles via the GitHub git tree API:https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/trees/HEAD?recursive=1and grep paths under conventional agent directories.
- For
msitarzewski/agency-agents: agents typically live underagents/,.claude/agents/, or category subdirectories. Count.mdfiles that look like subagent definitions (frontmatter withname:anddescription:). Exclude README/CHANGELOG/LICENSE/docs.- For
VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents: count the listed agents in README.md (e.g., bullets / table rows linking to external repos). Mark explicitly as "curated list, not files in repo".- If a repo has both a curated index AND its own agent files, report both numbers and explain.
- Notable changes — any significant additions or removals in the last 30 days?
Return structured report per repo:
REPO: msitarzewski/agency-agents STARS: <number>k (<exact>) AGENTS: <count> (<file pattern used, e.g., ".md files under agents/ via git tree">) NOTES: <anything unusual — flat layout vs categorized, README-only catalog, deprecated agents, curated-list disclaimer> CHANGES: <changes or "No significant changes"> CONFIDENCE: <0-1>
Phase 2: Compare & Report
Wait for the agent. Then compare findings against the current table and present:
Agent Collections — Update Report
══════════════════════════════════
Changes Found:
<repo>: ★ <old>k → <new>k | agents <old>→<new>
...
No Changes:
<repo>: ✓ (all values match)
...
Action Items:
# | Type | Action | Status
1 | Star | Update <repo> ★ from Xk to Yk | NEW/RECURRING
2 | Count | Update <repo> agents from X to Y | NEW/RECURRING
3 | Sort | Move <repo> (rank changed) | NEW/RECURRING
4 | Add | New collection candidate: <repo> | NEW
Compare with previous changelog entries and mark items as NEW, RECURRING, or RESOLVED.
Phase 2.5: Append to Changelog
MANDATORY — always execute before presenting to user.
Read changelog/agent-collections/changelog.md, then append a new entry. If the file doesn't exist, create it with a Status Legend then the first entry.
---
## [<YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM AM/PM PKT>] Agent Collections Update
| # | Priority | Type | Action | Status |
|---|----------|------|--------|--------|
| 1 | HIGH/MED/LOW | <type> | <action> | <status> |
Get time via TZ=Asia/Karachi date "+%Y-%m-%d %I:%M %p PKT". Status must be one of:
COMPLETE (reason)|INVALID (reason)|ON HOLD (reason)
Always append, never overwrite.
Phase 2.6: Update Last Updated Badge
MANDATORY — execute after Phase 2.5.
Update the badge on line 4 of README.md. Get time via TZ=Asia/Karachi date "+%b %d, %Y %-I:%M %p PKT", URL-encode it, replace the date in the badge. Do NOT log this as an action item.
Phase 3: Execute
Ask user: (1) Execute all | (2) Execute specific | (3) Skip
When executing, edit the ## 🤖 AGENT COLLECTIONS table in README.md:
- Update stars and agent counts per row
- Maintain sort order: stars descending (highest first)
- Match existing format exactly (link style, k-suffix on stars)
Rules
- One research agent, all repos — single message, parallel sub-fetches inside
- Never guess — use data from the agent only
- Don't auto-execute — present report first, wait for approval
- ALWAYS append changelog and ALWAYS update badge — mandatory
- Sort by stars descending — highest stars first
- Round stars consistently —
ksuffix (92k, 19k, 1.2k). Under 1000 show exact - Awesome-lists are different — for repos that link to external agents (VoltAgent), the count is "items listed in README", not files in repo; always annotate
(curated list) - Compare with previous changelog — mark items NEW, RECURRING, or RESOLVED
- Reuse
development-workflows-research-agent— do NOT create a new agent
