What if you could spin up an entire AI-powered company — engineers, designers, marketers, QA, and project managers — with a single command? That's exactly what agency-agents delivers, and it's exploding on GitHub.
Born from a humble Reddit thread, The Agency has amassed over 118,000 GitHub stars and 19,400 forks in a matter of months. It was called out by serial entrepreneur Greg Isenberg, hit 10K stars in under 7 days, and hasn't stopped accelerating since. By the time Harman (@itsharmanjot) tweeted about it on June 28, 2026, it had already crossed 50K stars. Today, it's more than doubled that.
But this isn't just another prompt template collection. It's something far more ambitious.
At its core, agency-agents — created by developer msitarzewski — is a curated collection of 147+ specialized AI agent personas organized across 16+ professional divisions. Each agent is defined as a standalone Markdown file with structured YAML frontmatter, containing:
Think of it as assembling your dream team — except they're AI specialists who never sleep, never complain, and always follow the playbook.
The divisions mirror how real companies operate. Here's a tour of the key departments:
The largest division by far. From Frontend Developer (React/Vue/Angular) and Backend Architect (API design, microservices) to specialized roles like Embedded Firmware Engineer (ESP32/STM32), Solidity Smart Contract Engineer, Voice AI Integration Engineer, and Multi-Agent Systems Architect. There's even a Minimal Change Engineer whose entire philosophy is "fixing only what's asked, no scope creep."
UI Designer, UX Researcher, UX Architect, Brand Guardian, and the fan-favorite Whimsy Injector — an agent dedicated to adding personality, micro-interactions, and Easter eggs to your product.
From Growth Hacker and SEO Specialist to platform-native roles like Twitter Engager, TikTok Strategist, Reddit Community Builder, and LinkedIn Content Creator. This division essentially gives you an entire social media and growth team in markdown files.
PPC Campaign Strategist, Search Query Analyst, Paid Media Auditor (200+ point account audits), and Tracking & Measurement Specialist for GTM/GA4 implementations.
Sprint Prioritizer, Product Manager, Project Shepherd, Jira Workflow Steward, and Experiment Tracker — the scaffolding for shipping products on time.
Reality Checker, Evidence Collector, Performance Benchmarker, API Tester, and Accessibility Auditor — quality gates built right into your workflow.
The roster also includes Security (Threat Detection Engineer), Finance, Game Development, Spatial Computing, GIS, Academic, and Strategy divisions.
The magic is in the infrastructure. Every agent is a .md file, meaning they're transparent, version-controllable, and dead simple to customize. The repo ships with:
install.sh — An interactive installer that auto-detects your development environment and lets you pick which tools and divisions to installconvert.sh — Transforms agent definitions into tool-specific formats (.mdc for Cursor, SKILL.md for various platforms, YAML configs, etc.)Once installed, activating an agent is as simple as referencing its role inside your AI conversation. In Claude Code, for example:
"Hey Claude, activate the Frontend Developer mode and help me build a React component."
The biggest insight here isn't the individual agents — it's what happens when you activate multiple agents working together on the same project.
Imagine building a startup MVP with:
Or running a marketing campaign where:
This mirrors how real organizations work — specialists collaborating across disciplines, not a single generalist trying to do everything.
We're witnessing a fundamental shift in how developers use AI. The "one model does everything" approach produces shallow results because the AI lacks clear role context. The Agency solves this by structuring AI like an actual company: specialized roles with clear responsibilities and defined workflows between agents.
It's also 100% open source under the MIT License. You can fork it, modify agent definitions, build your own agents, and contribute back to the growing community. The project has already accumulated 352 commits from developers around the world.
For any developer, startup, or team exploring agent-based workflows, The Agency provides something invaluable: a battle-tested blueprint for coordinating teams of AI specialists — not as a theoretical concept, but as working code you can install today.
