Build a new GAIA agent with the SDK end-to-end: scaffold the package, write the Agent subclass, register @tool functions, compose reusable tool mixins, set the model + system prompt, and test it locally. Use when creating a NEW agent (a Python class inheriting from the base Agent) for the GAIA repo or a user-authored package, not for tuning an existing agent's prompt (prompt-engineer), adding one tool to an existing class (python-developer). GAIA ships one agent (the flagship) through the TUI a…

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'gaia-build-agent' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'gaia-build-agent' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named gaia-build-agent already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/amd/gaia' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3ec6ceb6429b99c4af63250689239478a4b06c34' -- '.claude/skills/gaia-build-agent' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.claude/skills/gaia-build-agent' ~/.agents/skills/'gaia-build-agent' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'gaia-build-agent' ~/.claude/skills/'gaia-build-agent' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
