An AI Agent Capabilities Engineering framework is proposed to structure the design of AI agents by leveraging cognitive and behavioral sciences. The framework categorizes capabilities into Perceiving, Thinking, Doing, and Adapting to enable AI agents to perform complex tasks. Practical applications are illustrated through examples like customer support AI agents, emphasizing the integration of sophisticated capabilities and the reliance on technologies and techniques beyond LLMs for achieving human-like proficiency.
