HartmutandClaude Sonnet 4.6 f80808482d chore: restore .claude commands, agents, helpers & skills (lost in 1df208d)
Restores the entire .claude/ infrastructure that was accidentally deleted
in commit 1df208d ('feat(timeline): add pulse animation for in-flight drag
mutations'). Recovered via git checkout 1df208d^.

Restored:
- .claude/commands/ (gitlooper, sparc/, github/, automation/, monitoring/,
  optimization/, hooks/, plan, implement, research, review, perf, visualaudit)
- .claude/agents/ (core/, github/, sparc/, v3/, swarm/, templates/, ...)
- .claude/helpers/ (41 scripts incl. hook-handler.cjs, statusline.cjs)
- .claude/skills/ (20 skills incl. sparc-methodology, github-*, v3-*)
- .claude/settings.json (hooks configuration)

Also updated all CapaKraken → Nexus references in affected command files.

auto agent

Automatically spawn and manage agents based on task requirements.

Usage

npx claude-flow auto agent [options]

Options

  • --task, -t <description> - Task description for agent analysis
  • --max-agents, -m <number> - Maximum agents to spawn (default: auto)
  • --min-agents <number> - Minimum agents required (default: 1)
  • --strategy, -s <type> - Selection strategy: optimal, minimal, balanced
  • --no-spawn - Analyze only, don't spawn agents

Examples

Basic auto-spawning

npx claude-flow auto agent --task "Build a REST API with authentication"

Constrained spawning

npx claude-flow auto agent -t "Debug performance issue" --max-agents 3

Analysis only

npx claude-flow auto agent -t "Refactor codebase" --no-spawn

Minimal strategy

npx claude-flow auto agent -t "Fix bug in login" -s minimal

How It Works

  1. Task Analysis

    • Parses task description
    • Identifies required skills
    • Estimates complexity
    • Determines parallelization opportunities
  2. Agent Selection

    • Matches skills to agent types
    • Considers task dependencies
    • Optimizes for efficiency
    • Respects constraints
  3. Topology Selection

    • Chooses optimal swarm structure
    • Configures communication patterns
    • Sets up coordination rules
    • Enables monitoring
  4. Automatic Spawning

    • Creates selected agents
    • Assigns specific roles
    • Distributes subtasks
    • Initiates coordination

Agent Types Selected

  • Architect: System design, architecture decisions
  • Coder: Implementation, code generation
  • Tester: Test creation, quality assurance
  • Analyst: Performance, optimization
  • Researcher: Documentation, best practices
  • Coordinator: Task management, progress tracking

Strategies

Optimal

  • Maximum efficiency
  • May spawn more agents
  • Best for complex tasks
  • Highest resource usage

Minimal

  • Minimum viable agents
  • Conservative approach
  • Good for simple tasks
  • Lowest resource usage

Balanced

  • Middle ground
  • Adaptive to complexity
  • Default strategy
  • Good performance/resource ratio

Integration with Claude Code

// In Claude Code after auto-spawning
mcp__claude-flow__auto_agent {
  task: "Build authentication system",
  strategy: "balanced",
  maxAgents: 6
}
