## 🎯 Overview

**Source Repository:** [https://github.com/contains-studio/agents](https://github.com/contains-studio/agents)

Contains Studio provides 37 specialized AI agents with a sophisticated **PROACTIVELY auto-triggering system** that differs from our original hooks-based approach.

---

## 🔄 Two Auto-Triggering Mechanisms

This customization suite now supports **both** auto-triggering mechanisms:

### Method 1: Hooks-Based (Our Original Implementation)

**Configuration File:** `~/.claude/hooks.json`

```json
{
  "userPromptSubmitHook": "test-writer-fixer@agent",
  "toolOutputHook": "whimsy-injector@agent"
}
```

**How It Works:**
→ Uses Claude Code's hook system
→ Triggers on specific events (file operations, tool outputs)
→ Global configuration applies to all sessions
→ Requires manual setup

**Pros:**
→ ✅ Explicit control over when agents trigger
→ ✅ Works across all tools and operations
→ ✅ Easy to customize and debug

**Cons:**
→ ❌ Requires separate configuration file
→ ❌ Less context-aware
→ ❌ Manual setup needed

---

### Method 2: PROACTIVELY Keyword (Contains Studio Pattern)

**Configuration:** Built into agent description

```yaml
---
name: studio-coach
description: PROACTIVELY use this agent when complex multi-agent tasks begin...
color: gold
tools: Task, Write, Read
---
```

**How It Works:**
→ Claude Code's built-in agent selection system detects "PROACTIVELY" keyword
→ Analyzes context to determine if trigger conditions match
→ Self-documenting - triggers are in the agent description
→ No separate configuration needed

**The 4 Proactive Agents:**

1. **studio-coach** 🎭
   → **Triggers:** Complex multi-agent tasks begin, agents stuck/overwhelmed
   → **Purpose:** Coordinate and motivate all agents

2. **test-writer-fixer** 🧪
   → **Triggers:** After code modifications, bug fixes, feature implementations
   → **Purpose:** Automatically write tests and fix failures

3. **whimsy-injector** ✨
   → **Triggers:** After UI/UX changes, component creation, design updates
   → **Purpose:** Add delightful micro-interactions and personality

4. **experiment-tracker** 📊
   → **Triggers:** When feature flags added, experimental code paths detected
   → **Purpose:** Track A/B tests and experiments

**Pros:**
→ ✅ Zero configuration - works out of the box
→ ✅ Context-aware triggering based on semantic understanding
→ ✅ Self-documenting (triggers in description)
→ ✅ More sophisticated pattern matching

**Cons:**
→ ❌ Less explicit control over trigger conditions
→ ❌ Depends on Claude's context analysis
→ ❌ Harder to debug when triggers don't fire

## 📊 Comparison Table

| Feature | Hooks-Based | PROACTIVELY Keyword |
|---------|-------------|---------------------|
| **Configuration** | `~/.claude/hooks.json` | Built into agent description |
| **Trigger Scope** | Global events (file ops, tool outputs) | Context-aware conditions |
| **Setup Required** | Yes - create hooks.json | No - works automatically |
| **Flexibility** | Manual control over triggers | AI-determined triggers |
| **Detection Method** | System events | Semantic context analysis |
| **Debugging** | Easier - explicit hooks | Harder - depends on context |
| **Best For** | Predictable, event-driven automation | Intelligent, context-aware automation |

---

## 🏗️ Enhanced Agent Structure

Contains Studio agents use a **richer format** than standard Claude Code agents:

### YAML Frontmatter

```yaml
---
name: agent-name
description: When to use + 4 detailed examples with context and commentary
color: visual-identifier (blue, green, yellow, gold, etc.)
tools: Tool1, Tool2, Tool3
---
```

### Rich Example Format

```markdown
<example>
Context: [situation that led to this]
user: "[user request]"
assistant: "[how the agent responds]"
<commentary>
[why this example matters, the reasoning behind the approach]
</commentary>
</example>
```

**Benefits of This Format:**
→ **Context** - Shows what situation triggered the agent
→ **Response** - Shows how the agent handles it
→ **Commentary** - Explains the reasoning and why it matters
→ **4 examples per agent** - Comprehensive coverage of use cases

### 500+ Word System Prompts

Each agent includes:
→ Agent identity and role definition
→ 5-8 core responsibilities
→ Domain expertise areas
→ Studio workflow integration
→ Best practices and constraints
→ Success metrics

---

## 🎨 Visual Organization

**Color-Coded Agents:**
→ 🎭 **Gold** - studio-coach (supervisor)
→ 🔷 **Cyan** - test-writer-fixer
→ 🟡 **Yellow** - whimsy-injector
→ Department colors for visual identification

**Department Structure:**
```
~/.claude/agents/
├── engineering/ (7 agents)
├── marketing/ (7 agents)
├── design/ (5 agents)
├── product/ (3 agents)
├── project-management/ (3 agents)
├── studio-operations/ (5 agents)
├── testing/ (5 agents)
└── bonus/ (2 agents) - studio-coach, joker
```

## 🔧 How PROACTIVELY Auto-Triggering Works

### Claude Code's Agent Selection Logic

```python
# Simplified pseudo-code of how Claude Code selects agents

def select_agent(user_query, context, available_agents):
    # 1. Check for PROACTIVE agents first
    proactive_agents = get_agents_with_proactive_triggers()

    for agent in proactive_agents:
        if matches_proactive_condition(agent, context):
            return agent

    # 2. Then check for explicit agent requests
    if agent_mentioned_by_name(user_query):
        return get_agent_by_name(user_query)

    # 3. Finally, check for domain matches
    return select_by_domain_expertise(user_query, available_agents)
```

### Proactive Condition Matching

**studio-coach triggers when:**
→ Multiple agents mentioned in task
→ Task complexity exceeds threshold
→ Previous agent outputs show confusion
→ Large project initiated

**test-writer-fixer triggers when:**
→ File modifications detected
→ New files created
→ Bug fixes completed
→ Feature implementations done

**whimsy-injector triggers when:**
→ UI components created
→ Design changes made
→ Frontend code generated
→ User interface modified

**experiment-tracker triggers when:**
→ Feature flag syntax detected
→ Experimental code paths added
→ A/B test patterns identified
→ Conditional logic for experiments

---

## 💡 Usage Examples

### Example 1: Auto-Triggered Test Writing

```
You: I've added OAuth login

[Code changes detected]

[Auto-trigger: test-writer-fixer]

test-writer-fixer: I'll write comprehensive tests for your OAuth implementation...
→ Unit tests for login flow
→ Integration tests for token refresh
→ Error handling tests
→ Edge case coverage

[Tests written and validated]
```

---

### Example 2: Auto-Triggered UI Enhancement

```
You: Create a loading spinner

[UI component created]

[Auto-trigger: whimsy-injector]

whimsy-injector: I'll make this loading spinner delightful!
→ Add bounce animation
→ Include encouraging messages
→ Create satisfying finish animation
→ Add progress Easter eggs

[Enhanced UI delivered]
```

---

### Example 3: Coordinated Multi-Agent Project

```
You: Build a viral TikTok app in 2 weeks

[Complex multi-agent task detected]

[Auto-trigger: studio-coach]

studio-coach: This is an ambitious goal! Let me coordinate our A-team...
    → frontend-developer: Build the UI
    → backend-architect: Design the API
    → tiktok-strategist: Plan viral features
    → growth-hacker: Design growth loops
    → test-writer-fixer: Ensure quality

[All agents coordinated, deadline maintained]
```

## 🚀 Installation

Contains Studio agents are already included in this customization suite. No additional installation required.

**To Verify Installation:**

```bash
# Check that agents are installed
ls ~/.claude/agents/bonus/studio-coach.md
ls ~/.claude/agents/design/whimsy-injector.md

# Test auto-triggering
claude

# In Claude Code, try:
> I need to build a complex app with multiple features
# studio-coach should auto-trigger
```

---

## 🎯 Best Practices

### 1. Let Proactive Agents Work
Don't manually invoke test-writer-fixer - let it auto-trigger after code changes

### 2. Use studio-coach for Complex Tasks
Let the coach coordinate multiple agents for best results

### 3. Trust the Examples
The `<commentary>` sections explain why patterns work

### 4. Follow 6-Day Sprint Philosophy
Agents optimized for rapid iteration - ship fast, iterate faster

### 5. Embrace Whimsy
Let whimsy-injector add personality - it's a competitive advantage

---

## 🤝 Combining Both Approaches

You can use **both** hooks.json and PROACTIVELY agents simultaneously:

```bash
# Use hooks for predictable event-driven automation
cat > ~/.claude/hooks.json << 'EOF'
{
  "userPromptSubmitHook": "test-writer-fixer@agent",
  "toolOutputHook": "whimsy-injector@agent"
}
EOF

# PROACTIVELY agents work automatically
# No configuration needed for studio-coach and experiment-tracker
```

**Recommended Setup:**
→ **Hooks-based:** test-writer-fixer, whimsy-injector (explicit control)
→ **PROACTIVELY:** studio-coach, experiment-tracker (context-aware)
