AgentFolio

Skill for discovering and researching autonomous AI agents, tools, and ecosystems using the AgentFolio directory.

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.
