Examples

Add context window property
Add a new property called 'contextWindow' with label 'Context Window' and tooltip 'The maximum number of tokens the agent can handle in a single request.' It should be a badge type and belong to the features group.
Add pricing tier property
I need to add a 'pricingTier' property to the agents database. It's a text field under the 'identity' group. Display label 'Pricing Tier', tooltip 'Free, Pro, or Enterprise tier'.

name: add-agent-property description: Add a new property to the AI agents database.

Add Agent Property

Add a new property to the agents board by modifying four files in sequence.

Schema reference: See references/schema.md for data structures.

Workflow

1. Gather Property Details

Ask the user for:

  • Property key (camelCase, e.g., contextWindow)
  • Display label (short, e.g., "Context Window")
  • Tooltip description (1 sentence explaining the property)
  • Cell type: badge (yes/no/partial) or text (free-form)
  • Group: identity, packaging, or features

2. Update agents-detailed.json

Add the property to every agent in src/data/agents-detailed.json:

"propertyKey": {
  "value": null,
  "detail": null
}

Insert after the last feature property, before additionalInfo.

3. Update groups.json

Add the property key to the appropriate group's columns array in src/data/groups.json:

{
  "id": "features",
  "label": "Features",
  "columns": ["existingProp", "propertyKey"]
}

4. Update AgentTable.jsx

Add column definition to the columns array in src/components/AgentTable.jsx:

{ key: 'propertyKey', label: 'Label', sortable: true, cellType: 'badge', tooltip: 'Description' }

Insert at the position matching its group order.

5. Update useAgentsData.js

Add transformation in src/hooks/useAgentsData.js:

propertyKey: agent.propertyKey.value,
propertyKeyDetail: agent.propertyKey.detail,

6. Update FilterBar.jsx (for filterable properties)

If the property is in packaging or features group and has cellType: 'badge', add it to the featureOptions array in src/components/FilterBar.jsx:

{ key: 'propertyKey', label: 'Label' }

Insert in the appropriate section (Packaging or Features) following the existing order.

7. Update GitHub Issue Templates

01-update-agent.md - Add under Features section:

- [ ] **Property Label** (`propertyKey`)
  - New value: <!-- yes/no/partial/null -->
  - Detail:

02-add-new-agent.md - Add new section with property definition, value format, and examples.
