#### Best Practice Patterns
```markdown
### [Best Practice Category]
- **Pattern 1**: [Description with reasoning]
- **PTesting and benchmarking LLM agents including behavioral testing, capability assessment, reliability metrics, and production monitoring—where even top agents achieve less than 50% on real-world benchmarks Use when: agent testing, agent evaluation, benchmark agents, agent reliability, test agent.
Create, manage, and orchestrate AI agents using the AI Maestro CLI. Use when the user asks to "create agent", "list agents", "delete agent", "hibernate agent", "wake agent", "install plugin", "show agent", "restart agent", or any agent lifecycle management task.
Manage multiple local CLI agents via tmux sessions (start/stop/monitor/assign) with cron-friendly scheduling.
A hybrid memory system that provides persistent, searchable knowledge management for AI agents (Architecture, Patterns, Decisions).
Memory is the cornerstone of intelligent agents. Without it, every interaction starts from zero. This skill covers the architecture of agent memory: short-term (context window), long-term (vector stores), and the cognitive architectures that organize them. Key insight: Memory isn't just storage - it's retrieval. A million stored facts mean nothing if you can't find the right one. Chunking, embedding, and retrieval strategies determine whether your agent remembers or forgets. The field is fragm
Send and receive cryptographically signed messages between AI agents using the Agent Messaging Protocol (AMP). Use when the user asks to "send a message to an agent", "check agent inbox", "message another agent", "reply to a message", "notify an agent", or any inter-agent communication task.
Tools are how AI agents interact with the world. A well-designed tool is the difference between an agent that works and one that hallucinates, fails silently, or costs 10x more tokens than necessary. This skill covers tool design from schema to error handling. JSON Schema best practices, description writing that actually helps the LLM, validation, and the emerging MCP standard that's becoming the lingua franca for AI tools. Key insight: Tool descriptions are more important than tool implementa
Expert in designing and building autonomous AI agents. Masters tool use, memory systems, planning strategies, and multi-agent orchestration. Use when: build agent, AI agent, autonomous agent, tool use, function calling.
