How can I create a custom SMD pad in Eagle like the one in the image I
attached?

Doesn't someone know how to do this? Please help
I'm afraid you're not getting a response because there's no simple way to do
this. Eagle does not provide any facility for arbitrary shapes of SMD pads.
You could draw a polygon, but Eagle does not really support the use of
polygons in library parts, so this will involve a great deal of trouble.
If you want an SMD with one end flat and the other rounded, you could lay
two short SMD pads on top of each other, one rectangular and one rounded.
This will give you endless DRC errors, but could give you the SMD pad shape
you want.
Do you really need this appearance of SMD pad? What's wrong with rounding
both ends, or just keeping both ends square?
