The skill

The crewai design agent skill helps developers design CrewAI agents: role, goal and backstory, LLM choice, tools, limits, planning, delegation, knowledge sources and guardrails.

Only when you ask.

The habit

Every agent passes the checklist.

↻ Runs by itselfagent config changed

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

agent config changed. Runs in GitHub Actions or Claude Code routine.

  • ↻ agent config changed
  • push touches agents.yaml or crew.py

02

It checks its work

design checklist passes. If a check fails, it tells you.

  • ✓every agent sets llm explicitly
  • ✓no agent has more than 5 tools
  • ✓YAML keys match @agent method names
  • ✓allow_delegation is off unless needed

03

It remembers

agent review notes. The next run reads it first: checklist gaps found in earlier reviews.

loops/crewai-agent-review-loop/notes.md

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after reviewing 10 agents per run.

  1. 01

    Count agents

    Ask whether the work really needs more than one agent.

  2. 02

    Check role and goal

    Make roles specific and goals outcome-focused with quality standards.

  3. 03

    Check tools

    Confirm data tasks have tools and each agent has at most five.

  4. 04

    Check limits

    Tune max_iter and set LLM and tool timeouts instead of relying on max_execution_time.

  5. 05

    Check guardrails

    Move guardrails for critical output onto the Task.

  6. 06

    Log gaps

    Write each checklist gap and its fix to the notes.

What it may do.
Nothing more.

Safe by defaultIt writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.

Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.

Quick checkRead both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the CrewAI design agent skill helps.

Use it when

  • ✓ creating a new CrewAI agent
  • ✓ an agent loops or hallucinates
  • ✓ deciding how many agents to use

Skip it when

  • – designing the task itself
  • – not using CrewAI
