name: cc-pai-optimiser context: fork description: Review and optimize PAI (Personal AI Infrastructure) codebases as Claude Code evolves. Use when analyzing PAI repositories against 12-factor agent principles, checking for Claude Code feature compatibility, auditing context management patterns, or generating upgrade recommendations. Triggers on requests involving PAI optimization, Claude Code feature adoption, agent architecture review, or context engineering improvements.

CC-PAI Optimizer (v2.1.12)

Review and optimize PAI codebases by tracking Claude Code evolution and applying 12-factor agent principles.

Core Workflow

1. Gather Latest Claude Code Features

Before any optimization, fetch current CC capabilities from trusted sources:

Copy# Check current version
claude --version

# Trusted sources
CC_SOURCES=(
  "https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md"
  "https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases"
  "https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code"
  "https://github.com/marckrenn/claude-code-changelog/blob/main/cc-prompt.md"
)

Reference references/cc-trusted-sources.md for complete source list and update frequency recommendations.

2. Load PAI Repository

Copy# Discover PAI structure
ls -la "$PAI_DIR/.claude/"

3. Run Analysis Pipeline

Execute analysis in this order:

1. Structure Analysis - Directory layout and required files
2. Skills System Audit - SKILL.md format, context types, invocability
3. Hooks Configuration - settings.json hooks, lifecycle events
4. Context Engineering Audit - UFC patterns, progressive disclosure
5. Delegation Patterns - Multi-agent workflows
6. 12-Factor Compliance - Agent principles audit
7. Upgrade Plan Generation - Prioritized recommendations

Analysis Modules

Structure Analysis

Expected PAI v2.x structure:

Copy.claude/
├── context/           # Context files (CLAUDE.md)
├── skills/            # Skill definitions (replaces rules/)
│   └── */SKILL.md    # Each skill with frontmatter
├── agents/            # Agent configurations
├── commands/          # Reusable workflows
├── hooks/             # Hook scripts
├── state/             # State persistence
└── settings.json      # CC configuration with hooks

Skills System Analysis

Check for proper SKILL.md format:

Copy---
name: skill-name
context: fork|same
description: What this skill does
---

Key checks:

• All skills have SKILL.md with frontmatter
• context: fork for isolated execution (subagent)
• context: same for main conversation
• references/, scripts/, workflows/ subdirectories

Hooks Configuration (CC 2.1.x)

Hooks are now in settings.json:

Copy{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [...],
    "PostToolUse": [...],
    "SessionStart": [...],
    "SessionEnd": [...],
    "UserPromptSubmit": [...],
    "Stop": [...],
    "SubagentStop": [...]
  }
}

Feature Gap Analysis

Compare PAI implementation against CC capabilities:

12-Factor Compliance Check

Reference references/12-factor-checklist.md for complete audit criteria.

Key factors to validate:

1. Factor 3 - Own Context Window: Is context hydration explicit and controlled?
2. Factor 8 - Own Control Flow: Is agent loop logic in application code?
3. Factor 10 - Small Focused Agents: Are agents single-purpose?
4. Factor 12 - Stateless Reducer: Is state externalized?
