🎯 Overview

Source Repository: 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

{
  "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

---
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

---
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

<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:

🔧 How PROACTIVELY Auto-Triggering Works

Claude Code's Agent Selection Logic

# 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:

# 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:

# 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)
