## What it does

The skill covers CrewAI, a framework where each agent gets a role, a goal and a backstory, and tasks run one after another or through a manager. It ships code examples: defining agents, tasks, a crew, and starting it with `kickoff`. Memory comes in short-term, long-term and entity flavours, and task output can be written to a file.

Dependencies are `crewai>=1.2.0` and `crewai-tools>=1.2.0`. There is no LangChain underneath, so the install stays small. Hierarchical mode needs a separate model for the manager — the examples use `manager_llm="gpt-4o"`, so you need access to it.

Reach for this when a single agent stops being enough: research, writing and review split across roles. A straight pipeline with no delegation gains nothing from the extra structure.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill ai-research/agents-crewai

gemini skills install https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates --path cli-tool/components/skills/ai-research/agents-crewai
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/agents-crewai/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- split a job across agents with distinct roles
- feed one task's output into the next task
- keep memory alive between crew runs
- let a manager agent hand out tasks
- give an agent web search or PDF reading tools

## Example prompts
- Build a CrewAI crew with a researcher and a technical writer: the first finds five trends, the second drafts a post from them
- Set up a hierarchical process where a manager delegates to an analyst and an editor
- Add web search and page scraping tools to the researcher agent with crewai-tools
