## What it does

The plugin provides two slash commands: `/analyze-agent` and `/create-agent`. Running `/analyze-agent` scans your project across seven evaluation pillars, including security posture, instruction clarity, context efficiency, and MCP integration. It writes a complete summary to `AGENT_SMITH_REPORT.md`, estimating token weights for instructions, commands, and agent definitions.

Fixes follow an interactive triage process. Findings are grouped by effort into Quick Wins, Recommended, or Advanced improvements. You decide whether to accept each suggestion before the tool applies changes. The plugin flags dangerous patterns like unconstrained `Bash(*)` access, missing `.claudeignore` entries, or hardcoded personal file paths. Meanwhile, `/create-agent` scaffolds starter setups equipped with deny rules for sensitive files such as `.env` and PEM keys.

Analysis covers user-controlled files only. It cannot inspect Claude Code's internal system prompt or tool schemas.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install agent-smith@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- detect risky configuration patterns like unconstrained `Bash(*)` commands
- restrict model access to `.env` files and private keys
- eliminate context waste caused by missing `.claudeignore` rules
- scaffold a fresh agent setup containing baseline security deny rules

## Example prompts
- /analyze-agent
- /create-agent
- Run `/analyze-agent` and walk through quick wins

> **What is Claude Code?** [Claude Code](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code) is Anthropic's official agentic coding CLI. Agent Smith adds slash commands that help you check and improve your Claude Code configuration.

---

## What It Does

Agent Smith **analyzes, validates, and fixes** your Claude Code configuration in one interactive workflow:

- **Analyze** — Full 7-pillar evaluation with token metrics, instruction quality, and extension ratings
- **Track** — Score history with trend indicators and regression detection
- **Triage** — Interactive walkthrough of findings by effort level
- **Fix** — Apply accepted changes with an execution plan
- **Create** — Scaffold new configurations with best practices

---

## Quick Start

```bash
# Add the marketplace (one-time)
claude plugin marketplace add maxencemeloni/claude-code-agent-smith

# Install the plugin
claude plugin install agent-smith

# Use (in any project)
cd your-project
claude
/analyze-agent
```

> **Update:** `claude plugin marketplace update agent-smith-marketplace && claude plugin update agent-smith@agent-smith-marketplace`

---

## Commands

| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `/analyze-agent` | Full configuration analysis, interactive triage, and guided fixes |
| `/create-agent` | Scaffold new configuration with best practices |

### `/analyze-agent` Workflow

1. **Analyze** — Validates structure, scores all 7 pillars, measures tokens, rates instructions and extensions
2. **Save Report** — Writes full report to `AGENT_SMITH_REPORT.md`
3. **Triage** — Pick a category: Quick Wins, Recommended, or Advanced
4. **Decide** — For each finding: Yes (apply) / No (skip) / Custom instruction
5. **Execute** — Review the execution plan, confirm, and apply all changes

---

## Sample Output

### `/analyze-agent`

```markdown
# Agent Smith Analysis

**Project:** your-project
**Type:** Node.js
**Score:** 7.8/10

## Pillar Scores

| Pillar | Score | Notes |
|--------|:-----:|-------|
| Security Posture | 7/10 | Could add more deny rules |
| Instruction Clarity | 8/10 | Well-structured CLAUDE.md |
| Configuration Quality | 8/10 | Good structure |
| Context Efficiency | 6/10 | Missing .claudeignore patterns |
| Command & Extension Design | 9/10 | Clear, well-documented |
| Hook Safety | N/A | No hooks configured |
| MCP Integration | 7/10 | 3 servers configured |

## Content Overview

| Category | Files | Est. Tokens |
|----------|------:|------------:|
| Instructions | 1 | ~4,800 |
| Commands | 5 | ~8,600 |
| Agents | 6 | ~10,500 |
| **Total user content** | | **~23,900** |

## Limitations

This analysis covers user-configurable components only.
Claude Code's system prompt and tool schemas are outside this scope.
```

### Interactive Triage

```
Which category do you want to address?
  A) Quick Wins     — 3 low-effort fixes
  B) Recommended    — 2 medium-effort improvements
  C) Advanced       — 1 high-effort optimization
  D) All categories — Walk through everything
  E) Done           — Just the report, no changes
```

After choosing, you walk through each item one by one and decide what to do. Then Agent Smith builds an execution plan and applies your choices.
