description: Update the AGENT COLLECTIONS table by researching all agent-collection repos in parallel

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 full owner/repo only 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:

  1. README.md — the ## 🤖 AGENT COLLECTIONS table (note current stars and agent counts)
  2. 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 (.md files 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:

  1. Stars — use GitHub API https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}, read stargazers_count. Round to k.
  2. Agent count — count subagent definition .md files via the GitHub git tree API: https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/trees/HEAD?recursive=1 and grep paths under conventional agent directories.
    • For msitarzewski/agency-agents: agents typically live under agents/, .claude/agents/, or category subdirectories. Count .md files that look like subagent definitions (frontmatter with name: and description:). 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.
  3. 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

  1. One research agent, all repos — single message, parallel sub-fetches inside
  2. Never guess — use data from the agent only
  3. Don't auto-execute — present report first, wait for approval
  4. ALWAYS append changelog and ALWAYS update badge — mandatory
  5. Sort by stars descending — highest stars first
  6. Round stars consistently — k suffix (92k, 19k, 1.2k). Under 1000 show exact
  7. 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)
  8. Compare with previous changelog — mark items NEW, RECURRING, or RESOLVED
  9. Reuse development-workflows-research-agent — do NOT create a new agent
