/agents:analyze
Analyze the plugin collection to identify where sub-agents would improve workflows by isolating verbose output, enforcing constraints, or specializing behavior.
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:
- List all plugins with their skill/command counts
- Read existing agents in
agents-plugin/agents/to understand current coverage - If
--focusis 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:
- Missing agents: Skills that have no corresponding agent
- Model mismatches: Agents using wrong model for their task complexity
- Tool over-permissions: Agents with tools they don't need
- Consolidation opportunities: Multiple agents that could be merged
- Delegation mapping: Check if
/delegatereferences 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
/delegatecommand - [ ] 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:
- Ask the user if they want to implement any of the recommendations
- If yes, create the agent files following the existing patterns in
agents-plugin/agents/ - Update
agents-plugin/README.mdwith new agents - Update
/delegatecommand's agent reference table if needed
