Developer Toolbox

A collection of essential development workflow agents that integrate seamlessly with Claude Code.

What's Included

Agents (7)

Rules (1)

Installation

Copy# Via marketplace
/plugin install developer-toolbox

# Or local development
/plugin install ./skills/developer-toolbox

After installation, restart Claude Code to load the agents.

Usage Examples

Commit Helper

Copy"Help me write a commit message for these staged changes"

Build Verifier

Copy"My changes aren't appearing in production, verify the build output"

Code Reviewer

Copy"Review this authentication code for security vulnerabilities"

Debugger

Copy"I'm getting TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined"

Test Runner

Copy"Use TDD to implement this user validation function"

Orchestrator

Copy"Coordinate a refactor of the authentication system across 5 services"

Documentation Expert

Copy"Create comprehensive API documentation for this REST endpoint"

Agent Design Philosophy

All agents follow the "MUST BE USED when" pattern for reliable auto-discovery:

Copydescription: |
  [Role] specialist. MUST BE USED when: [trigger 1], [trigger 2], [trigger 3].
  Use PROACTIVELY for [broad task category].

  Keywords: keyword1, keyword2, error-message-fragment

This ensures Claude Code discovers and proposes the right agent automatically based on user requests.

Agent-First Thinking Rule

The included agent-first-thinking.md rule encourages using agents by default:

The Inversion:

• Wrong: "I'll do this manually unless it's big enough for agents"
• Right: "I'll use agents unless there's a reason not to"

Triggers:

Customization

Each agent can be extended by editing its markdown file after installation:

Copy# Find installed agents
ls ~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/developer-toolbox/*/agents/

# Or copy to user-level for customization
cp [plugin-path]/agents/code-reviewer.md ~/.claude/agents/

Combining Agents

Agents work well together:

Copy"Review this code for security issues, then write tests for the critical paths"
# → code-reviewer first, then test-runner

Copy"Debug this failing test, document the root cause, and commit the fix"
# → debugger → documentation-expert → commit-helper
