## Overview

This unified repository provides everything needed for intelligent automation and multi-agent orchestration across modern software development:

- **83 Specialized Agents** - Domain experts with deep knowledge (architecture, languages, infrastructure, quality, data/AI, business)
- **15 Workflow Orchestrators** - Multi-agent coordination systems for complex operations
- **42 Development Tools** - Focused utilities for specific tasks

## System Requirements

- [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) installed and configured
- Git for repository management

## Installation

### New Installation

```bash
cd ~/.claude
git clone https://github.com/wshobson/agents.git
```

All agents, workflows, and tools will be automatically available to Claude Code.

### Updating from Previous Version

If you previously had the `agents` repository installed:

```bash
cd ~/.claude/agents
git pull origin main
```

**Important**: The repository structure has changed. All agent files have been moved to the `agents/` subdirectory. Claude Code will automatically detect the new structure.

## Multi-Agent Orchestration Examples

### Full-Stack Development
```bash

```
**Orchestrates**: backend-architect → graphql-architect → frontend-developer → mobile-developer → test-automator → security-auditor → performance-engineer → deployment-engineer

### Security Hardening
```bash
/workflows:security-hardening implement security best practices
```
**Orchestrates**: security-auditor → backend-security-coder → frontend-security-coder → mobile-security-coder → test-automator

### Data/ML Pipeline
```bash
/workflows:ml-pipeline build customer churn prediction model
```
**Orchestrates**: data-scientist → data-engineer → ml-engineer → mlops-engineer → ai-engineer → performance-engineer

### Incident Response
```bash
/workflows:incident-response debug high CPU usage in production
```
**Orchestrates**: incident-responder → devops-troubleshooter → debugger → error-detective → observability-engineer

## Model Configuration

Agents are assigned to specific Claude models based on task complexity:

| Model | Count | Use Cases |
|-------|-------|-----------|
| **Opus** | 22 | Complex architecture, critical analysis, security audits, business operations |
| **Sonnet** | 50 | Standard development, engineering tasks, quality assurance |
| **Haiku** | 11 | Quick focused tasks, SEO optimization, reference building |

## Multi-Agent Orchestration Patterns

### Sequential Processing
```
backend-architect → frontend-developer → test-automator → security-auditor
```

### Parallel Execution
```
performance-engineer + database-optimizer → Merged optimization
```

### Conditional Routing
```
debugger → [backend-architect | frontend-developer | devops-troubleshooter]
```

### Validation Pipeline
```
feature-development → security-auditor → performance-engineer → Validated release
```

## Migration Guide

### What Changed?

**Major Update**: This repository has been restructured to consolidate all Claude Code extensions in one place:

1. **Repository Structure**: All agents moved from root to `agents/` subdirectory
2. **Workflows Added**: 15 multi-agent workflow orchestrators (previously in separate `commands` repo)
3. **Tools Added**: 42 development utilities (previously in separate `commands` repo)
4. **Unified Experience**: Everything now accessible from a single repository

### Migrating from Commands Repository

If you previously used the separate `commands` repository (`wshobson/commands`):

**Before** (old structure):
```
~/.claude/
├── agents/              # Agents repository
│   └── *.md files
└── commands/            # Commands repository (DEPRECATED)
    └── *.md files
```

**After** (new unified structure):
```
~/.claude/
└── agents/              # Unified repository
    ├── agents/
    ├── workflows/
    └── tools/
```

#### Migration Steps

1. **Update the agents repository**:
   ```bash
   cd ~/.claude/agents
   git pull origin main
   ```

2. **Remove the old commands repository** (if installed):
   ```bash
   rm -rf ~/.claude/commands
   ```

3. **Verify installation**:
   ```bash
   ls ~/.claude/agents
   # Should show: agents/ workflows/ tools/ README.md
   ```

4. **Update your workflow**:
   - Old: `/feature-development` or `/commands:feature-development`
   - New: `/workflows:feature-development`

   - Old: `/api-scaffold` or `/commands:api-scaffold`
   - New: `/tools:api-scaffold`

### What Stays the Same?

- All 83 agents work exactly as before (no command syntax changes)
- Agent definitions and capabilities unchanged
- Direct agent invocation still works: "Use backend-architect to..."

### Breaking Changes

⚠️ **Command Invocation Syntax**:
- Workflows now use `/workflows:` prefix instead of just `/`
- Tools now use `/tools:` prefix instead of just `/`

**Old syntax** (deprecated):
```bash
/feature-development implement auth
/api-scaffold create endpoints
```

**New syntax** (current):
```bash
/workflows:feature-development implement auth
/tools:api-scaffold create endpoints
```

### Need Help?

For detailed migration instructions and troubleshooting, see [MIGRATION.md](MIGRATION.md).
