# OpenAgents ↔ Claude Code Integration A bridge that allows Claude Code to use OpenAgents standards and context files. ## Overview This integration provides two-way compatibility between OpenAgents and Claude Code: 1. **Auto-Convert**: Convert OpenAgents to Claude Code format for distribution 2. **Local Adapter**: Immediate context-aware behavior when using Claude in this repo ## Directory Structure ``` integrations/claude-code/ ├── converter/ # Scripts to convert OpenAgents → Claude format │ └── src/ │ └── convert-agents.js ├── generated/ # Output of conversion (gitignored) │ ├── agents/ │ └── skills/ ├── plugin/ # Final plugin files for distribution │ ├── agents/ │ ├── skills/ │ └── .claude-plugin/ │ └── plugin.json ├── bootstrap-install.sh # One-line installer (downloads bundle) └── install.sh # Install script for distribution ``` ## Quick Start ### For This Repository (Local Adapter) Just run Claude in this repository: ```bash cd /path/to/opencode-agents claude ``` Claude will automatically: - Load the `openagents-standards` Skill - Use `context-scout` to find relevant context in `.opencode/context/` - Apply OpenAgents standards to any task
⚠️ Claude CLI Workaround If Claude doesn't auto-load the local adapter when run in this repository: 1. **Restart Claude Code** after any changes to `.claude/` 2. **Explicitly reference the context** in your request: ``` "Load context from .claude/skills/openagents-standards/SKILL.md and .claude/agents/context-scout.md, then help me create a new agent" ``` 3. **Manual trigger** - if the Skill doesn't auto-trigger, start your request with: ``` [Use OpenAgents standards] ``` This will activate the context loading workflow. **Known Issue**: Skills auto-trigger based on Claude's heuristic. If it doesn't trigger: - The `context-scout` subagent will still be available - You can call it manually: `task(subagent_type="context-scout", ...)` - Claude will still follow OpenAgents patterns if you reference `.opencode/context/` files in your prompt
### Install Claude CLI (if needed) **macOS**: ```bash brew install claude ``` **npm**: ```bash npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code ``` **Verify**: ```bash claude --version ``` ## For Distribution (Auto-Convert) ### One-Line Install (Recommended) ```bash curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/darrenhinde/OpenAgents/main/integrations/claude-code/bootstrap-install.sh | bash ``` **Prereqs**: `git`, `bash` **Verify Claude Code**: ```bash claude --version ``` This downloads the Claude integration bundle and runs the plugin installer. ### Step 1: Run the Converter ```bash cd integrations/claude-code/converter node src/convert-agents.js ``` This generates Claude-ready files in `integrations/claude-code/generated/`. ### Step 2: Install for Personal Use ```bash cd integrations/claude-code ./install.sh ``` This copies the plugin to `~/.claude/plugins/openagents-bridge/`. ### Step 3: Use with Claude Code **With plugin (recommended for distributed use)**: ```bash claude --plugin-dir ~/.claude/plugins/openagents-bridge ``` **Without plugin (manual mode)**: ```bash # Set environment variable to load context files export OPENAGENTS_CONTEXT_PATH=.opencode/context # Run Claude with context loaded from your prompt claude ```
💡 CLI Tips - **Check loaded plugins**: `claude --print-plugins` - **Debug mode**: `claude --debug` (shows plugin loading) - **One-shot mode**: `claude "your request" --print-only` - **Session history**: Check `~/.claude/sessions/` for logs
## How It Works ### Context Discovery 1. **Skill Triggers**: The `openagents-standards` Skill automatically activates when you ask Claude to do anything. 2. **Subagent Call**: Claude calls `context-scout` to find relevant files in `.opencode/context/`. 3. **Standards Loading**: Claude reads the discovered files and applies OpenAgents standards. ### Agent Conversion The converter maps OpenAgents frontmatter to Claude format: | OpenAgents Field | Claude Field | |------------------|--------------| | `id` | `name` | | `description` | `description` | | `tools` / `permissions` | `tools` | | `model` | `model` | | `mode: subagent` | `permissionMode: plan` | ## Adding New Agents ### For Local Use Add to `.opencode/agent/{category}/{agent}.md`. The local adapter in `.claude/` will pick it up on restart. ### For Distribution 1. Add to `.opencode/agent/{category}/{agent}.md` 2. Run: `cd integrations/claude-code/converter && node src/convert-agents.js` 3. The converted agent appears in `integrations/claude-code/generated/agents/` ## Files to Commit - `.claude/` - Local adapter (committed) - `integrations/claude-code/converter/src/convert-agents.js` - Converter script (committed) - `integrations/claude-code/install.sh` - Install script (committed) ## Files to GitIgnore - `integrations/claude-code/generated/` - Generated files (ignored) - `integrations/claude-code/plugin/` - Build output (ignored) ## Requirements - Node.js 18+ - Claude Code v2.1.6+ ## CLI Reference | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `claude` | Start interactive session | | `claude "request"` | One-shot request | | `claude --plugin-dir ~/.claude/plugins/openagents-bridge` | Load with plugin | | `claude --print-plugins` | Show loaded plugins | | `claude --debug` | Debug mode | | `claude --version` | Show version |
