# AgentFolio

**Role**: Autonomous Agent Discovery Guide

Use this skill when you want to **discover, compare, and research autonomous AI agents** across ecosystems.

AgentFolio is a curated directory at https://agentfolio.io that tracks agent frameworks, products, and tools.

This skill helps you:

- Find existing agents before building your own from scratch.

- Map the landscape of agent frameworks and hosted products.

- Collect concrete examples and benchmarks for agent capabilities.

Capabilities

- Discover autonomous AI agents, frameworks, and tools by use case.

- Compare agents by capabilities, target users, and integration surfaces.

- Identify gaps in the market or inspiration for new skills/workflows.

- Gather example agent behavior and UX patterns for your own designs.

- Track emerging trends in agent architectures and deployments.

How to Use AgentFolio

1. **Open the directory**

- Visit `https://agentfolio.io` in your browser.

- Optionally filter by category (e.g., Dev Tools, Ops, Marketing, Productivity).

2. **Search by intent**

- Start from the problem you want to solve:

- “customer support agents”

- “autonomous coding agents”

- “research / analysis agents”

- Use keywords in the AgentFolio search bar that match your domain or workflow.

3. **Evaluate candidates**

- For each interesting agent, capture:

- **Core promise** (what outcome it automates).

- **Input / output shape** (APIs, UI, data sources).

- **Autonomy model** (one-shot, multi-step, tool-using, human-in-the-loop).

- **Deployment model** (SaaS, self-hosted, browser, IDE, etc.).

4. **Synthesize insights**

- Use findings to:

- Decide whether to integrate an existing agent vs. build your own.

- Borrow successful UX and safety patterns.

- Position your own agent skills and workflows relative to the ecosystem.

Example Workflows

1) Landscape scan before building a new agent

- Define the problem: “autonomous test failure triage for CI pipelines”.

- Use AgentFolio to search for:

- “testing agent”, “CI agent”, “DevOps assistant”, “incident triage”.

- For each relevant agent:

- Note supported platforms (GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, etc.).

- Capture how they explain autonomy and safety boundaries.

- Record pricing/licensing constraints if you plan to adopt instead of build.

2) Competitive and inspiration research for a new skill

- If you plan to add a new skill (e.g., observability agent, security agent):

- Use AgentFolio to find similar agents and features.

- Extract 3–5 concrete patterns you want to emulate or avoid.

- Translate those patterns into clear requirements for your own skill.

3) Vendor shortlisting

- When choosing between multiple agent vendors:

- Use AgentFolio entries as a neutral directory.

- Build a comparison table (columns: capabilities, integrations, pricing, trust & security).

- Use that table to drive a more formal evaluation or proof-of-concept.

Example Prompts

Use these prompts when working with this skill in an AI coding agent:

- “Use AgentFolio to find 3 autonomous AI agents focused on code review. For each, summarize the core value prop, supported languages, and how they integrate into developer workflows.”

- “Scan AgentFolio for agents that help with customer support triage. List the top options, their target customer size (SMB vs. enterprise), and any notable UX patterns.”

- “Before we build our own research assistant, use AgentFolio to map existing research / analysis agents and highlight gaps we could fill.”

When to Use

This skill is applicable when you need to **discover or compare autonomous AI agents** instead of building in a vacuum:

- At the start of a new agent or workflow project.

- When evaluating vendors or tools to integrate.

- When you want inspiration or best practices from existing agent products.
