/agents:analyze

Analyze the plugin collection to identify where sub-agents would improve workflows by isolating verbose output, enforcing constraints, or specializing behavior.

When to Use This Skill

| Use this skill when... | Use a sibling skill instead when... | |---|---| | Auditing the whole plugin collection for sub-agent opportunities (verbose-output skills, model mismatches, tool over-permissions) | Auditing a single agent's frontmatter, tool list, and prompt completeness — use agent-patterns-plugin:meta-audit | | Mapping delegation gaps and producing a list of proposed new agents | Authoring the new agent file from that proposal — use agent-patterns-plugin:custom-agent-definitions | | Reviewing haiku vs opus model selection across the plugin tree | Configuring an agent's hooks, permissions, or settings.json wiring — use hooks-plugin:hooks-configuration | | Focusing the analysis on a single plugin's skills (--focus <plugin>) | Coordinating multiple agents at runtime — use agent-patterns-plugin:agent-teams or parallel-agent-dispatch |

Agentic Optimizations

| Context | Command | |---------|---------| | List all plugins | find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name '*-plugin' | | Count skills per plugin | find <plugin>/skills -name 'SKILL.md' -o -name 'skill.md' \| wc -l | | List existing agents | find agents-plugin/agents -maxdepth 1 -name '*.md' | | Check agent model field | grep -r '^model:' agents-plugin/agents/ | | Check agent allowed-tools | grep -r '^allowed-tools:' agents-plugin/agents/ | | Skill tool permissions | grep -r '^allowed-tools:' */skills/*/SKILL.md |

Context

• Plugin directories: !find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name '*-plugin'
• Existing agents: !find agents-plugin/agents -maxdepth 1 -name '*.md'
• Skills: !find . -path '*/skills/*/skill.md'
• Skills (user-invocable): !find . -path '*/skills/*/SKILL.md' -not -path './agents-plugin/*'

Parameters

• $1: Optional --focus <plugin-name> to analyze a single plugin in depth

Your Task

Perform a systematic analysis of the plugin collection to identify sub-agent opportunities.

Step 1: Inventory Current State

Scan the repository to build an inventory:

1. List all plugins with their skill/command counts
2. Read existing agents in agents-plugin/agents/ to understand current coverage
3. If --focus is provided, restrict analysis to that plugin only

Step 2: Identify Sub-Agent Opportunities

For each plugin (or focused plugin), evaluate skills and commands against these criteria:

Context Isolation (Primary Value)

Operations that produce verbose output benefiting from isolation:

| Indicator | Examples | |-----------|----------| | Build tools | docker build, cargo build, webpack, tsc | | Infrastructure ops | terraform plan/apply, kubectl describe | | Test runners | Full test suite output, coverage reports | | Profiling tools | Flame graphs, benchmark results | | Security scanners | Vulnerability reports, audit output | | Log analysis | Application logs, system logs | | Package managers | Dependency trees, audit results |

Constraint Enforcement

Operations that should be limited to specific tools:

| Constraint | Rationale | |------------|-----------| | Read-only analysis | Security audit, code review - no writes | | No network | Pure code analysis tasks | | Limited bash | Tasks that shouldn't execute arbitrary commands |

Model Selection Opportunities

| Assign opus when... | Assign haiku when... | |---------------------|----------------------| | Complex reasoning required | Structured/mechanical task | | Security analysis | Status checks | | Architecture decisions | Output formatting | | Debugging methodology | Configuration generation | | Performance analysis | File operations |

Step 3: Gap Analysis

Compare identified opportunities against existing agents:

1. Missing agents: Skills that have no corresponding agent
2. Model mismatches: Agents using wrong model for their task complexity
3. Tool over-permissions: Agents with tools they don't need
4. Consolidation opportunities: Multiple agents that could be merged
5. Delegation mapping: Check if /delegate references agents that don't exist

Step 4: Produce Recommendations

For each recommended new agent, specify:

### Proposed: <agent-name>

- **Model**: opus | haiku
- **Covers plugins**: <list>
- **Context value**: <what verbose output it isolates>
- **Tools**: <minimal set>
- **Constraint**: <read-only, no-network, etc.>
- **Priority**: HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW
- **Rationale**: <why this is better than inline execution>

For model/tool corrections to existing agents:

### Fix: <agent-name>

- **Current model**: X → **Recommended**: Y
- **Reason**: <why the change improves things>

Step 5: Implementation Check

If new agents are recommended, check:

• [ ] Agent name doesn't conflict with existing
• [ ] Agent fills a gap referenced by /delegate command
• [ ] Model selection follows haiku-for-mechanical, opus-for-reasoning
• [ ] Tool set is minimal (principle of least privilege)
• [ ] Agent has clear "does / does NOT do" boundaries

Post-Actions

After presenting the analysis:

1. Ask the user if they want to implement any of the recommendations
2. If yes, create the agent files following the existing patterns in agents-plugin/agents/
3. Update agents-plugin/README.md with new agents
4. Update /delegate command's agent reference table if needed
