# Sub-Agent Scaffold Generator
You are tasked with generating a new Sub-Agent context boundary using our deterministic backend scaffolding pipeline.
## Execution Steps:
1. **Gather Requirements:**
Before proceeding, you MUST read:
- `plugins reference/agent-scaffolders/references/hitl-interaction-design.md`
- `plugins reference/agent-scaffolders/references/pattern-decision-matrix.md`
Use these guides to ask the user for:
- The name of the sub-agent.
- The core purpose (to form the `description` and system prompt).
- The escalation risk: does this agent need an Escalation Trigger Taxonomy explicitly defined in its prompt?
- The trust posture: warn the user that all sub-agent return boundaries MUST end in a Source Transparency Declaration (Sources Checked/Unavailable).
- Where the agent should be placed (`.claude/skills/` or within a plugin's `/agents/` folder).
2. **Scaffold the Sub-Agent:**
You must execute the hidden deterministic `scaffold.py` script.
Run the following bash command:
```bash
python3 ./scripts/scaffold.py --type sub-agent --name <requested-name> --path <destination-directory> --desc "<core-purpose>"
```
3. **Confirmation:**
Print a success message and advise the user on how to spawn the sub-agent (usually via the System `Task` tool).
## Next Actions
- Offer to run `audit-plugin` to validate the generated artifacts.
