About

This skill generates an A2A Agent Card manifest (agent.json) that defines an agent's capabilities, authentication needs, and supported content types for interoperability. Use it when building or migrating agents to the A2A protocol to ensure discoverability by other agents and registries. It helps establish a public contract for multi-agent orchestration and integration.

Design A2A Agent Card

建合標之 A2A Agent Card,以告代理之身分、技能、認證需求與能力,供他代理發現。

適用時機

  • 建代理,須為他 A2A 相容代理所發現
  • 為多代理編排暴露代理能力
  • 將既有代理遷至 A2A(Agent-to-Agent)協定
  • 實作前為代理定公開契約
  • 整合代理註冊表或消費 Agent Card 之目錄

輸入

  • 必需:代理之名與述
  • 必需:代理可行之技能清單(名、述、輸入/輸出 schema)
  • 必需:代理託管之基礎 URL
  • 可選:認證方法(noneoauth2oidcapi-key
  • 可選:超 text/plain 之受支援內容類型(如 image/pngapplication/json
  • 可選:能力旗標(串流、推播通知、狀態轉移歷史)
  • 可選:提供者組織名與 URL

步驟

步驟一:定代理身分與述

1.1. 擇代理身分欄位:

{
  "name": "data-analysis-agent",
  "description": "Performs statistical analysis, data visualization, and report generation on tabular datasets.",
  "url": "https://agent.example.com",
  "provider": {
    "organization": "Example Corp",
    "url": "https://example.com"
  },
  "version": "1.0.0"
}

1.2. 書清晰、可執行之述,答:

  • 此代理涵何等領域?
  • 可處理何等任務?
  • 其限何?

1.3. 設代理卡將供應於 /.well-known/agent.json 之標準 URL。

預期: 完整之身分區塊,含名、述、URL、提供者、版本。

失敗時: 若代理服多領域,慮其宜為一代理具多技能,抑或多代理具聚焦範圍。A2A 偏好聚焦代理具明界。

步驟二:列技能之輸入/輸出 schema

2.1. 定代理可行之每一技能:

{
  "skills": [
    {
      "id": "analyze-dataset",
      "name": "Analyze Dataset",
      "description": "Run descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, or hypothesis tests on a CSV dataset.",
      "tags": ["statistics", "data-analysis", "csv"],
      "examples": [
        "Analyze the correlation between columns A and B in my dataset",
        "Run a t-test comparing group 1 and group 2"
      ],
      "inputModes": ["text/plain", "application/json"],
      "outputModes": ["text/plain", "application/json", "image/png"]
    },
    {
      "id": "generate-chart",
      "name": "Generate Chart",
      "description": "Create bar, line, scatter, or histogram charts from tabular data.",
      "tags": ["visualization", "charts"],
      "examples": [
        "Create a scatter plot of height vs weight",
        "Generate a histogram of the age column"
      ],
      "inputModes": ["text/plain", "application/json"],
      "outputModes": ["image/png", "image/svg+xml"]
    }
  ]
}

2.2. 為每技能提供:

  • id:唯一標識(kebab-case)
  • name:人類可讀之顯示名
  • description:一至二句述技能所行
  • tags:供發現之可搜尋關鍵字
  • examples:觸發此技能之自然語言任務例
  • inputModes:技能接受之 MIME 類型
  • outputModes:技能可生之 MIME 類型

2.3. 確保技能邊界明確且不重疊。每任務應精確對映至一技能。

預期: 技能陣列,每條目具 id、name、description、tags、examples、I/O 模式。

失敗時: 若技能重疊顯著,合之為單一較廣技能具更多例。若技能過廣,分之為聚焦之子技能。

步驟三:配認證

3.1. 依部署情境定認證方案:

無認證(本地/可信網路):

{
  "authentication": {
    "schemes": []
  }
}

OAuth 2.0(生產建議):

{
  "authentication": {
    "schemes": ["oauth2"],
    "credentials": {
      "oauth2": {
        "authorizationUrl": "https://auth.example.com/authorize",
        "tokenUrl": "https://auth.example.com/token",
        "scopes": {
          "agent:invoke": "Invoke agent skills",
          "agent:read": "Read task status"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

API Key(簡易共享密鑰):

{
  "authentication": {
    "schemes": ["apiKey"],
    "credentials": {
      "apiKey": {
        "headerName": "X-API-Key"
      }
    }
  }
}

3.2. 為部署環境擇最小可行之認證:

  • 本地開發:none
  • 內部服務:apiKey
  • 面向公開之代理:oauth2oidc

3.3. 於 Agent Card 之 provider 區或外部文檔載令牌/金鑰供應過程。

預期: 認證區塊合部署安全需求。

失敗時: 若 OAuth 2.0 基礎架構不可用,始以 API key 認證並計劃遷移。勿以 none 認證部署公開代理。

步驟四:載明能力

4.1. 宣告代理支援何等協定功能:

{
  "capabilities": {
    "streaming": true,
    "pushNotifications": false,
    "stateTransitionHistory": true
  }
}

4.2. 依實作就緒度設每能力旗標:

  • streaming:若代理透過 tasks/sendSubscribe 支援 SSE 串流則 true。為長任務啟用即時進度更新。
  • pushNotifications:若代理可於任務狀態變時發 webhook 回調則 true。需代理存並回調 webhook URL。
  • stateTransitionHistory:若代理維持任務狀態轉移之完整歷史(submitted、working、completed 等)則 true。有益於稽核軌跡。

4.3. 僅於實作全然支援時設能力為 true。廣告不支援之能力破壞互通。

預期: 能力物件具布林旗標合實際實作。

失敗時: 若不確能力將實作,設之為 false。能力可於未來版本加。移除能力為破壞性變。

步驟五:驗證並發布 Agent Card

5.1. 組裝完整 Agent Card:

{
  "name": "data-analysis-agent",
  "description": "Performs statistical analysis and visualization on tabular datasets.",
  "url": "https://agent.example.com",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "provider": {
    "organization": "Example Corp",
    "url": "https://example.com"
  },
  "authentication": {
    "schemes": ["oauth2"],
    "credentials": { ... }
  },
  "capabilities": {
    "streaming": true,
    "pushNotifications": false,
    "stateTransitionHistory": true
  },
  "skills": [ ... ],
  "defaultInputModes": ["text/plain"],
  "defaultOutputModes": ["text/plain"]
}

5.2. 驗 Agent Card:

  • 以 JSON 解析並驗無語法錯
  • 驗所有必需欄位存(name、description、url、skills)
  • 驗每技能有 id、name、description 及至少一輸入/輸出模式
  • 驗 URL 可達且於 /.well-known/agent.json 供應該卡

5.3. 發布 Agent Card:

  • https://<agent-url>/.well-known/agent.json 供應
  • Content-Type: application/json
  • 若需跨源發現則啟 CORS 標頭
  • 向任何相關代理目錄或註冊表註冊

5.4. 以取卡試發現:

curl -s https://agent.example.com/.well-known/agent.json | python3 -m json.tool

預期: 於 well-known URL 供應之有效 JSON Agent Card,任何 A2A 客戶端皆可解析。

失敗時: 若 JSON 驗證失敗,用 JSON 檢查器識語法錯。若 URL 不可達,查 DNS、SSL 憑證與 web 伺服器配置。若需 CORS,加 Access-Control-Allow-Origin 標頭。

驗證

  • Agent Card 為有效 JSON 且無語法錯
  • 所有必需欄位存:name、description、url、skills
  • 每技能有 id、name、description、inputModes、outputModes
  • 認證方案合部署安全需求
  • 能力旗標準確反映實作狀態
  • Agent Card 於 /.well-known/agent.json 以正確 Content-Type 供應
  • A2A 客戶端可成功取並解析該卡
  • 技能中之例真實且觸發正確之技能

常見陷阱

  • 過諾能力:未實作而設 streaming: truepushNotifications: true 致用該等功能時客戶端失敗。宜保守。
  • 技能述模糊:如「做資料之事」之述阻準確技能匹配。應於輸入、輸出與領域具體。
  • 缺 CORS 標頭:瀏覽器基之 A2A 客戶端若無適當 CORS 配置則無法取 Agent Card。
  • 技能重疊:若兩技能可處理同任務,客戶端代理無法判擇何者。宜確保明界。
  • 忘預設模式:若省 defaultInputModesdefaultOutputModes,客戶端可能不知送何等內容類型。
  • 版本停滯:技能或能力變時更 Agent Card 版本。客戶端可能快取舊版。
  • 實作前發布:Agent Card 為契約。發布尚未實作之技能致運行時失敗。

相關技能

  • implement-a2a-server - 實作 Agent Card 背後之伺服器
  • test-a2a-interop - 驗證 Agent Card 合規與互通
  • build-custom-mcp-server - MCP 伺服器作 A2A 之替/補
  • configure-mcp-server - MCP 配置模式,適用於 A2A 設定
