    This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
    
    ## Project Overview
    
    This is the Awesome Claude Agents repository - a collection of specialized AI agents that extend Claude Code's capabilities through intelligent orchestration and domain expertise. The agents work together as a development team, with each agent having specific expertise and delegation patterns.
    
    ## Working with Agents
    
    When creating or modifying agents:
    1. Agents are Markdown files with YAML frontmatter
    2. Most agents should omit the `tools` field to inherit all available tools
    3. Use XML-style examples in descriptions for intelligent invocation
    4. Agents return structured findings for main agent coordination
    
    ## Orchestration Pattern for Claude Code
    
    Since sub-agents in Claude Code cannot directly invoke other sub-agents, orchestration follows this strict pattern:
    
    ### CRITICAL: Agent Routing Protocol
    
    **When handling complex tasks, you MUST:**
    
    1. **ALWAYS start with tech-lead-orchestrator** for any multi-step task
    2. **FOLLOW the agent routing map** returned by tech-lead EXACTLY
    3. **USE ONLY the agents** explicitly recommended by tech-lead
    4. **NEVER select agents independently** - tech-lead knows which agents exist
    
    ### Example: Building a Feature with Agent Routing
    
    ```
    User: "Build a user management system"
    
    Main Claude Agent:
    1. First, I'll use the tech-lead-orchestrator to analyze and get routing
       → Tech lead returns Agent Routing Map with SPECIFIC agents
       
    2. I MUST use ONLY the agents listed in the routing map:
       - If tech-lead says "use django-api-developer" → Use that EXACT agent
       - If tech-lead says "use react-component-architect" → Use that EXACT agent
       - DO NOT substitute with generic agents unless specified as fallback
       
    3. Execute tasks in the order specified by tech-lead using TodoWrite
    ```
    
    ### Key Orchestration Rules
    
    1. **Tech-Lead is Routing Authority**: Tech-lead determines which agents can handle each task
    2. **Strict Agent Selection**: Use ONLY agents from tech-lead's "Available Agents" list
    3. **No Improvisation**: Do NOT select agents based on your own judgment
    4. **Deep Reasoning**: Apply careful thought when coordinating the recommended agents
    5. **Structured Handoffs**: Extract and pass information between agent invocations
    
    ### Agent Selection Flow
    
    ```
    CORRECT FLOW:
    User Request → Tech-Lead Analysis → Agent Routing Map → Execute with Listed Agents
    
    INCORRECT FLOW:
    User Request → Main Agent Guesses → Wrong Agent Selected → Task Fails
    ```
    
    ### Example Tech-Lead Response You Must Follow
    
    When tech-lead returns:
    ```
    ## Available Agents for This Project
    - django-backend-expert: Django tasks
    - django-api-developer: API tasks  
    - react-component-architect: React UI
    ```
    
    You MUST use these specific agents, NOT generic alternatives like "backend-developer"
    
    ## High-Level Architecture
    
    ### Agent Organization
    The project follows a hierarchical structure:
    
    1. **Orchestrators** (`agents/orchestrators/`)
       - `tech-lead-orchestrator`: Coordinates complex projects through three-phase workflow (Research → Planning → Execution)
       - `project-analyst`: Detects technology stack and enables intelligent routing
       - `team-configurator`: Creates agent routing rules in CLAUDE.md files
    
    2. **Core Agents** (`agents/core/`)
       - Cross-cutting concerns like code archaeology, reviews, performance, and documentation
       - These agents support all technology stacks
    
    3. **Universal Agents** (`agents/universal/`)
       - Framework-agnostic specialists (API, backend, frontend, Tailwind)
       - Fallback when no framework-specific agent exists
    
    4. **Specialized Agents** (`agents/specialized/`)
       - Framework-specific experts organized by technology
       - Subdirectories: laravel/, django/, rails/, react/, vue/
    
    ### Three-Phase Orchestration Workflow (Main Agent Coordinated)
    
    The main Claude agent implements a human-in-the-loop workflow using the tech-lead-orchestrator:
    
    1. **Research Phase**: Tech-lead analyzes requirements and returns structured findings
    2. **Approval Gate**: Main agent presents findings and waits for human approval
    3. **Planning Phase**: Main agent creates tasks with TodoWrite based on tech-lead's recommendations
    4. **Execution Phase**: Main agent invokes specialists sequentially with filtered context
    
    ### Agent Communication Protocol
    
    Since sub-agents cannot directly communicate or invoke each other:
    - **Structured Returns**: Each agent returns findings in a parseable format
    - **Context Passing**: Main agent extracts relevant information from returns
    - **Sequential Coordination**: Main agent manages the execution flow
    - **Handoff Information**: Agents include what the next specialist needs in their returns
    
    Example return format:
    ```
    ## Task Completed: API Design
    - Endpoints defined: GET/POST/PUT/DELETE /api/users
    - Authentication: Bearer token required
    - Next specialist needs: This API specification for implementation
    ```
    
    ### Intelligent Routing
    
    The system automatically routes tasks based on:
    1. Project context (detected by project-analyst)
    2. Framework-specific routing when applicable
    3. Universal fallback for unknown stacks
    4. Task requirements and agent expertise
    
    ## Key Concepts
    
    ### Agent Definition Format
    ```yaml
    ---
    name: agent-name
    description: |
      Expertise description with XML examples
      Examples:
      - <example>
        Context: When to use
        user: "Request"
        assistant: "I'll use agent-name"
        <commentary>Why selected</commentary>
      </example>
    # tools: omit for all tools, specify for restrictions
    ---
    
    # Agent Name
    System prompt content...
    ```
    
    ### Ambiguity Detection
    - Project-analyst flags uncertainties in analysis
    - Tech-lead presents research findings for approval before execution
    - Agents should identify assumptions needing clarification
    
    ### Tool Inheritance
    - Omitting `tools` field = inherit all tools (recommended)
    - Specify tools only for security restrictions
    - Includes WebFetch, MCP tools when available
    
    ## Development Guidelines
    
    1. **Creating New Agents**:
       - Use templates/agent-template.md as starting point
       - Focus on single domain expertise
       - Include 2-3 XML examples
       - Define structured return format
    
    2. **Agent Return Patterns**:
       - Always return findings in structured format
       - Include "Next Steps" or "Handoff Information"
       - Specify what context next specialist needs
       - Main agent will parse and coordinate
    
    3. **Testing Agents**:
       - Test invocation patterns
       - Verify delegation works correctly
       - Ensure quality of output
    
    ## Important Files and Patterns
    
    - `docs/orchestration-patterns.md`: Detailed three-phase workflow documentation
    - `docs/creating-agents.md`: Guide for creating new agents
    - `docs/best-practices.md`: Agent development best practices
    - `examples/`: Real-world usage examples
    - All agents support human-in-the-loop through the tech-lead's approval gate
    
    ## Complete Orchestration Example
    
    Here's a full example showing proper agent routing:
    
    ### User Request:
    "Help me build an authentication system for my web app"
    
    ### Step 1: Tech-Lead Analysis
    ```
    Main Agent: "I'll use the tech-lead-orchestrator to analyze this request and determine the best approach."
    
    [Invokes tech-lead-orchestrator]
    ```
    
    ### Step 2: Tech-Lead Returns Routing Map
    ```
    ## Agent Routing Map
    
    Task 1: Detect Project Technology
    - PRIMARY AGENT: project-analyst
    - REASON: Need to identify framework for proper routing
    
    Task 2: Design Authentication Schema  
    - PRIMARY AGENT: database-architect
    - REASON: Framework-agnostic database design
    
    Task 3: Implement Auth Backend
    - PRIMARY AGENT: django-backend-expert
    - FALLBACK AGENT: backend-developer
    - REASON: Django detected in project
    
    Task 4: Create Auth API Endpoints
    - PRIMARY AGENT: django-api-developer
    - FALLBACK AGENT: api-architect
    - REASON: Django REST Framework patterns
    
    ## Available Agents for This Project
    - project-analyst
    - database-architect  
    - django-backend-expert
    - django-api-developer
    - code-reviewer
    
    ## CRITICAL INSTRUCTION
    Use ONLY the agents listed above. Do NOT use laravel, rails, or other framework agents.
    ```
    
    ### Step 3: Main Agent Executes Plan
    ```
    Main Agent: "Based on the tech-lead's routing, I'll now coordinate the implementation:"
    
    1. ✓ Using project-analyst to analyze the codebase
    2. ✓ Using database-architect for auth schema design  
    3. ✓ Using django-backend-expert for implementation
    4. ✓ Using django-api-developer for API endpoints
    5. ✓ Using code-reviewer for security audit
    
    [Executes each step with the EXACT agents specified]
    ```
    
    ### What NOT to Do:
    ```
    ❌ "I'll use backend-developer" (when tech-lead specified django-backend-expert)
    ❌ "I'll use rails-api-developer" (wrong framework)
    ❌ "I'll skip the tech-lead and choose agents myself" (bypasses routing)
    ```
    
    ## Critical Reminders
    
    - ALWAYS use tech-lead-orchestrator for multi-step tasks to get proper agent routing
    - FOLLOW the agent routing map exactly - do not improvise
    - USE deep reasoning when coordinating the recommended agents
    - TRUST the tech-lead's expertise in agent selection

Awesome Claude Agents - AI Development Team 🚀

Supercharge Claude Code with a team of specialized AI agents that work together to build complete features, debug complex issues, and handle any technology stack with expert-level knowledge.

⚠️ Important Notice

This project is experimental and token-intensive. I'm actively testing these agents with Claude subscription - expect high token consumption during complex workflows. Multi-agent orchestration can consume 10-50k tokens per complex feature. Use with caution and monitor your usage.

🚀 Quick Start (3 Minutes)

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated
  • Claude subscription - required for intensive agent workflows
  • Active project directory with your codebase
  • Optional: Context7 MCP for enhanced documentation access

1. Install the Agents

git clone https://github.com/vijaythecoder/awesome-claude-agents.git

Option A: Symlink (Recommended - auto-updates)

macOS/Linux:

# Create agents directory if it doesn't exist (preserves existing agents)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/agents

# Symlink the awesome-claude-agents collection
ln -sf "$(pwd)/awesome-claude-agents/agents/" ~/.claude/agents/awesome-claude-agents

Windows (PowerShell):

# Create agents directory
New-Item -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\agents" -ItemType Directory -Force

# Create symlink
cmd /c mklink /D "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\agents\awesome-claude-agents" "$(Get-Location)\awesome-claude-agents\agents"

Option B: Copy (Static - no auto-updates)

# Create agents directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p ~/.claude/agents

# Copy all agents
cp -r awesome-claude-agents/agents ~/.claude/agents/awesome-claude-agents

2. Verify Installation

claude /agents
# Should show all 24 agents.

3. Initialize Your Project

Navigate to your project directory and run the following command to configure your AI team:

claude "use @agent-team-configurator and optimize my project to best use the available subagents."

4. Start Building

claude "use @agent-tech-lead-orchestrator and build a user authentication system"

Your AI team will automatically detect your stack and use the right specialists!

🎯 How Auto-Configuration Works

The @agent-team-configurator automatically sets up your perfect AI development team. When invoked, it:

  1. Locates CLAUDE.md - Finds existing project configuration and preserves all your custom content outside the "AI Team Configuration" section
  2. Detects Technology Stack - Inspects package.json, composer.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Gemfile, and build configs to understand your project
  3. Discovers Available Agents - Scans ~/.claude/agents/ and .claude/ folders, building a capability table of all available specialists
  4. Selects Specialists - Prefers framework-specific agents over universal ones, always includes @agent-code-reviewer and @agent-performance-optimizer for quality assurance
  5. Updates CLAUDE.md - Creates a timestamped "AI Team Configuration" section with your detected stack and a Task|Agent|Notes mapping table
  6. Provides Usage Guidance - Shows you the detected stack, selected agents, and gives sample commands to start building
