Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

=> Currently /agents creates a blank agent with a basic system prompt.
=> It would be very powerful if users could attach skill files or documents directly when creating asub-agent. This way the agent inherits that knowledge automatically and becomes an expert in that specific area.

=> For example: -> creating a "Legal Reviewer" agent and attaching your company's legal guidelines document - the agent instantly knows all the rules. This would make sub-agents significantly more powerful and useful.

TL;DR

Modify the /agents creation process to accept and integrate skill files or documents, enabling sub-agents to inherit specific knowledge areas.

Guidance

  • Investigate the current implementation of the /agents endpoint to determine the best approach for adding file or document attachment functionality.
  • Consider adding a new parameter to the /agents creation request that accepts a file or document, which can then be processed and integrated into the sub-agent's knowledge base.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of using existing libraries or tools for handling file uploads and processing, to streamline the development process.
  • Develop a strategy for validating and sanitizing user-uploaded files to prevent potential security vulnerabilities.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more context about the existing implementation and technology stack.

Notes

The solution will depend on the specific requirements and constraints of the project, including the technology stack, security considerations, and performance needs.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by enhancing the /agents creation process to accept skill files or documents, as this would significantly improve the functionality and usefulness of sub-agents.
