Agent Blueprint Skills

Open-source AI agent skills for enterprise deployment. Built for coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf) using the Agent Skills open standard.

7 skills. Zero vendor lock-in. Works with any coding agent.

Skills

Skill What it does
agent-fundamentals Agentic AI fundamentals: what agents are, when to use them vs. workflows, architecture patterns, decision frameworks, failure modes, worked examples
servicenow-ai-agents ServiceNow AI Agent Studio reference: data model, entity mapping, tool types, prompting patterns, browser navigation, MCP setup
agent-deployment Vendor-agnostic deployment methodology: phased rollout, pilot-first, test gates, access tier adaptation
research-agent Multi-tool research with automatic depth routing: free tools first, paid escalation, caching, structured output

Blueprint Patterns

Pre-designed agent team architectures for common enterprise use cases. Each pattern describes the full agent team, roles, orchestration, and integration points. Use as a starting point, or generate a full customized blueprint via the Agent Blueprint MCP server.

Pattern What it does
it-service-desk-triage 5-agent IT help desk: triage, classification, knowledge search, auto-resolution, escalation
procurement-rfx-processing 6-agent RFP/RFQ/RFI lifecycle: intake, requirements, vendor matching, compliance, evaluation, communication
customer-onboarding 5-agent onboarding pipeline: intake, verification, provisioning, communication, handoff

Install

Claude Code

Add the marketplace, then install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add agent-blueprint/agent-blueprint-skills
/plugin install agent-blueprint-skills@agent-blueprint

Skills appear in your session automatically. Claude loads them when your task matches the skill description.

OpenAI Codex CLI

Copy skills into your project:

git clone https://github.com/agent-blueprint/agent-blueprint-skills.git /tmp/ab-skills
cp -r /tmp/ab-skills/plugins/agent-blueprint-skills/skills/* .agents/skills/

Cursor / Copilot / Windsurf / Any Agent

Clone this repo and point your agent to the SKILL.md files:

git clone https://github.com/agent-blueprint/agent-blueprint-skills.git .agent-skills

The SKILL.md format is an open standard. Any agent that reads markdown can use these skills. Skills are in plugins/agent-blueprint-skills/skills/.

What's in each skill

agent-fundamentals

A practical guide for understanding AI agents in enterprise environments:

  • Agent vs. workflow vs. chatbot: When do you actually need an agent? Decision framework with clear criteria
  • Anatomy of an agent: Instructions, tools, memory, guardrails, orchestration
  • Architecture patterns: Single agent, orchestrator + workers, pipeline, human-in-the-loop — with selection criteria
  • Common failure modes: Over-agenting, tool sprawl, vague instructions, missing guardrails, skipping validation
  • Use case evaluation framework: 9-question walkthrough to determine if a process needs an agent
  • Worked examples: Three detailed walkthroughs (simple ticket triage, workflow-not-agent invoice processing, complex multi-agent procurement)

servicenow-ai-agents

Everything a coding agent needs to deploy AI agents on ServiceNow's AI Agent Studio:

  • Data model: All sn_aia_* tables, fields, and relationships
  • Entity mapping: How blueprint roles (Manager, Worker) map to ServiceNow entities (Workflow, Agent)
  • Tool types: Record Operation, Script, Flow, Search Retrieval, MCP Tool, etc.
  • Prompting patterns: Markdown format, parameter naming, gate definitions
  • Browser navigation: Verified URL patterns and Playwright selectors for AI Agent Studio
  • MCP setup: servicenow-mcp-server and nowsdk-ext-mcp configuration

agent-deployment

A structured methodology for deploying AI agents on any enterprise platform:

  • Phased rollout: Pilot first, validate, then expand
  • Simulation-to-real progression: Prove orchestration works, then connect real data
  • Test gates: Mandatory validation checkpoints before expanding scope
  • Access tier adaptation: Full access, read-only, or no-access workflows
  • Research-backed: Cites Microsoft, McKinsey, Forrester on why simulation-only pilots fail

research-agent

A reusable research methodology that routes queries through the right tools:

  • Depth routing: WebSearch (free) to Brave to Perplexity to Gemini (expensive)
  • Escalation rules: Start cheap, escalate when results are thin
  • Supplemental sources: Financial filings, careers pages, reviews, competitive intel
  • Caching: Avoid redundant queries with freshness-aware cache
  • Tool-agnostic: Works with whatever MCP servers you have configured

Blueprint Patterns

it-service-desk-triage

A 5-agent architecture for automating IT service desk operations:

  • Triage Agent: Extracts structured data, sets priority, routes tickets
  • Classification Agent: Deep categorization, duplicate detection, assignment group recommendation
  • Knowledge Search Agent: Semantic search across knowledge base, relevance ranking
  • Resolution Agent: Auto-resolves known patterns (password resets, access requests, known errors)
  • Escalation Agent: Packages context for human analysts, monitors SLA compliance
  • Orchestration: Routing pattern with Knowledge Search as utility agent

procurement-rfx-processing

A 6-agent architecture for end-to-end RFx lifecycle automation:

  • Intake Agent: Extracts requirements from source documents, creates structured RFx record
  • Requirements Agent: Validates requirements, identifies gaps and conflicts, builds scoring rubric
  • Vendor Matching Agent: Identifies qualified vendors from database, past performance, compliance status
  • Compliance Agent: Validates regulatory and policy compliance at every stage
  • Evaluation Agent: Scores vendor responses, produces comparative analysis and award recommendation
  • Communication Agent: Manages all stakeholder and vendor communications
  • Orchestration: Orchestrator + Workers with parallel vendor matching and compliance

customer-onboarding

A 5-agent architecture for customer onboarding pipeline automation:

  • Intake Agent: Receives applications from any channel, validates completeness, sets risk tier
  • Verification Agent: Identity, compliance, KYC/AML, document validation
  • Provisioning Agent: Account creation, billing, access, integrations (parallel tasks)
  • Communication Agent: Status updates, document requests, activation packages
  • Handoff Agent: Transitions to ongoing service with structured CSM package
  • Orchestration: Pipeline with parallel branches, async waits for customer actions

Cross-platform compatibility

These skills follow the Agent Skills open standard, supported by:

Platform Skill location How it works
Claude Code .claude/skills/ or plugin Loaded via plugin system or project skills
OpenAI Codex .agents/skills/ Same SKILL.md format, automatic discovery
Cursor Project context Read SKILL.md as context
GitHub Copilot .github/skills/ Agent Skills standard
Any agent Direct file read SKILL.md is just markdown
