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
Open the directory
- Visit
https://agentfolio.ioin your browser. - Optionally filter by category (e.g., Dev Tools, Ops, Marketing, Productivity).
- Visit
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.
- Start from the problem you want to solve:
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.).
- For each interesting agent, capture:
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.
- Use findings to:
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.
