# atomic-agents

Gives Claude working knowledge of the Atomic Agents Python framework: schemas, agents, tools, orchestration. Useful when you write or read such a codebase and would rather not restate the conventions.

## What it does

The plugin ships seven skills and two subagents, loaded on demand. The `framework` skill fires on its own when Claude sees code importing from `atomic_agents`, and opens eleven reference files: schemas, agents, tools, context providers, prompts, orchestration, memory, hooks, providers, project structure, testing. The parent context stays lean.

Four creation skills (`create-atomic-schema`, `create-atomic-agent`, `create-atomic-tool`, `create-atomic-context-provider`) walk a clarify, write, verify, hand-off loop. The `troubleshoot` skill triggers on errors and tracebacks and maps real framework messages to a mechanical fix plus a verification step. The slash command `/atomic-agents:new-app` asks four questions and scaffolds a runnable project with `pyproject.toml`, an environment file, a first agent and an `AGENTS.md` + `CLAUDE.md` pair.

Both subagents run in isolated context. `atomic-explorer` reads an unfamiliar project and returns an architecture map with file:line references. `atomic-reviewer` checks a diff for framework-specific issues and returns a report with ready-to-apply fixes. You need Python 3.12+, Atomic Agents 2.7+, Instructor 1.14+ with the matching provider extra, and Pydantic 2 — older versions will not build.

## When to use it
- You are writing a new Atomic Agents component and cannot recall the right shape for a schema or tool
- You inherited a codebase on this framework and need a quick map of what lives where
- You hit a traceback from atomic-agents code and do not know where to start
- You want a diff checked for common framework mistakes before committing
- You need a starter project with conventions already written down for any assistant

## Example prompts
- Help me understand how the agents in this project work
- Map this codebase
- Review my changes for atomic-agents issues

# Atomic Agents Plugin for Claude Code

A Claude Code plugin that gives Claude deep, just-in-time knowledge of the [Atomic Agents](https://github.com/eigenwise/atomic-agents) Python framework. When you work on an Atomic Agents codebase, Claude picks up the right patterns for schemas, agents, tools, context providers, prompts, orchestration, and provider wiring — without you having to paste documentation or repeat conventions.

## What you get

Seven skills + two subagents, loaded on demand:

- **`framework` skill** — auto-triggered when Claude sees atomic-agents code. Orients Claude on the framework and exposes eleven focused reference files (schemas, agents, tools, context providers, prompts, orchestration, memory, hooks, providers, project structure, testing). Progressive disclosure keeps the parent context lean.
- **Four creation skills** — `create-atomic-schema`, `create-atomic-agent`, `create-atomic-tool`, `create-atomic-context-provider`. Each walks a clarify → write → verify → hand-off workflow for its component type, auto-triggering on the matching phrasing.
- **`troubleshoot` skill** — auto-triggered on errors and tracebacks from atomic-agents code. Symptom table keyed on the framework's real error messages (provider role/mode mismatches, schema docstring enforcement, history misuse, MCP transports), each with a mechanical fix and a verification step.
- **`new-app` skill** — slash-invokable scaffolder (`/atomic-agents:new-app`). Four short questions and produces a runnable project with the right `pyproject.toml`, environment file, first agent, and an `AGENTS.md` + `CLAUDE.md` pair so any coding assistant knows the conventions from the first commit.
- **`atomic-explorer` subagent** — auto-triggered (or `Task`-invoked) when you ask to explore, map, or understand an existing atomic-agents codebase. Reads the project in isolated context and returns a compact architecture map (agents, tools, schemas, context providers, orchestration, essential-reading list) without polluting the parent thread with every file it had to open to build that map.
- **`atomic-reviewer` subagent** — auto-triggered (or `Task`-invoked) when you ask for a review, audit, or check of atomic-agents code. Runs in isolated context with read-only tools so the file-exploration load never pollutes the parent thread. Focuses only on framework-specific concerns (BaseIOSchema invariants, Instructor wrapping, per-provider role and mode, context-provider I/O hygiene, orchestration hazards, common API misuses). Returns a single confidence-filtered structured report. Complements generic code review; does not replace it.

This follows the hybrid pattern Anthropic themselves ship: reference skills for knowledge that should inform the main thread, specialist subagents for discrete read-heavy tasks whose output is a summary.

## Install

### Recommended — from the Eigenwise marketplace

```
/plugin marketplace add eigenwise/atomic-agents
/plugin install atomic-agents@eigenwise
```

This path gets you the latest version immediately. We control the marketplace, so pushes to `main` in this repo reach users on the next `/plugin marketplace update` (and auto-update is on by default for git-hosted marketplaces you've explicitly added).

### From Anthropic's community marketplace

Once the plugin is approved in Anthropic's public community directory, add that marketplace and install from it:

```
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin install atomic-agents@claude-community
```
