# Agency Agents

> Agency Agents (no tagged releases; ~164k stars, Oct 2026) is a collection of 230+ Markdown agent personas grouped into divisions such as engineering, design, marketing, sales, testing, game development and finance. Each file sets an agent's role, workflow, deliverables and success metrics. Install with the companion desktop app for macOS, Linux and Windows, or a script that copies the files into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and other tools. MIT. Needs one of those coding agents, usually a paid plan or API key. Prompts only: no runtime or model of its own.
