TLDR

A ready-made set of AI persona files you install into your AI coding tool so it acts as a specialised expert, frontend developer, security engineer, code reviewer, and more, instead of a blank assistant.

In plain English

Agency-agents is a collection of pre-written persona files for AI coding assistants. The author calls it a complete AI agency at your fingertips: each agent is a markdown file describing a specialised role, a frontend developer, backend architect, mobile builder, security engineer, technical writer, code reviewer, database optimiser, and many others organised into divisions like Engineering. According to the README each agent has its own identity and personality, a core mission, example workflows, expected technical deliverables, and success metrics, so it can be used as a ready-made expert rather than a blank prompt template. In practice, you do not run this repository as software. Instead, you copy or install the agent definitions into one of the supported AI coding tools so the assistant takes on that role when activated. The README ships shell scripts that install the agents to Claude Code by default and can also generate integration files for other tools the project lists as supported, including GitHub Copilot, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, and Kimi Code. After installation you activate an agent inside a session, for example by saying "activate Frontend Developer mode", and the assistant follows that persona's instructions. Someone might use it to skip writing prompts from scratch when starting a new task, to assemble a small team of focused assistants for different parts of a project, or to study how detailed role prompts are structured. The repository is shell-script-driven and is released under the MIT licence.
