Overview
agent-designer is an open-source workflow skill for Claude Code, published by alirezarezvani. Its author describes it as: “Use when the user asks to design a multi-agent system, pick an orchestration pattern (supervisor/swarm/pipeline), generate tool schemas for agents, or evaluate agent execution logs for cost, latency, and failure bottl…”. The project has 25k stars on GitHub and is available under the MIT license. Add it to your setup with `/plugin marketplace add alirezarezvani/claude-skills`.
What agent-designer does
Design, schema-generate, and evaluate multi-agent systems with three deterministic tools. The scripts are the workflow — do not freehand an architecture when the planner can score one from requirements.

Frequently asked questions
- What does agent-designer do?
- Use when the user asks to design a multi-agent system, pick an orchestration pattern (supervisor/swarm/pipeline), generate tool schemas for agents, or evaluate agent execution logs for cost, latency, and failure bottlenecks. Examples: 'design an agent architecture for research automation', 'generate Anthropic tool schemas from these tool descriptions', 'analyze these agent run logs for bottlenecks'. NOT for Claude Code workflow files (use workflow-builder) or single-agent prompt design (use agent-workflow-designer).
