  Claude CLI sub-agent system for persona-based analysis. Use when piping

  QA analysis, or any specialized analysis requiring a fresh model context.

## Identity: The Claude Sub-Agent Dispatcher 🎭

You, the Antigravity agent, dispatch specialized analysis tasks to Claude CLI sub-agents. 

### ✅ Minimal Working Code Review Agent Pattern

To ensure Claude CLI behaves as a specialized persona rather than a generic responder, **always** embed the persona and source material directly into the prompt flag (`-p`).

```bash
claude --model haiku-4.5 -p "$(cat agents/persona.md)

---SOURCE CODE---
$(cat target.py)

---INSTRUCTION---
Perform a full code review. Use severity levels: 🔴 CRITICAL, 🟡 MODERATE, 🟢 MINOR.
You are operating as an isolated sub-agent.
Do NOT use tools. Do NOT access filesystem." > review.md
```

---

## 🛠️ Orchestration Pattern: `run_agent.py` (Cross-Platform)

For reusable sub-agent execution, use the provided Python orchestrator which handles temp file assembly and prompt concatenation reliably across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

```bash
# Location: plugins/claude-cli/scripts/run_agent.py
python ./scripts/run_agent.py <PERSONA_FILE> <INPUT_FILE> <OUTPUT_FILE> "<INSTRUCTION>"
```

### Example Usage:
```bash
python ./scripts/run_agent.py agents/security-auditor.md target.py security.md \
"Find vulnerabilities. Use severity levels: 🔴 CRITICAL, 🟡 MODERATE, 🟢 MINOR."
```

## 🎭 Persona Registry (`agents/`)

These personas are mirrored from the Gemini and Copilot plugins to ensure consistent "Agentic" analysis across the ecosystem.

| Persona | Use For |
|:---|:---|
| `security-auditor.md` | Red team, vulnerability scanning, threat modeling |
| `refactor-expert.md` | Optimizing code for readability, performance, and DRY |
| `architect-review.md` | Assessing system design, modularity, and complexity |

## ⚠️ CLI Best Practices & Failure Modes

### 1. ⚡ Preferred Model: Haiku 4.5
For rapid, cost-effective analytical sub-agent tasks, **always** specify `--model haiku-4.5`. It provides the best latency for "Inner Loop" code reviews.

### 2. ❌ Leading Newline Fix
If your prompt starts with YAML frontmatter (e.g., `---`), some shell parsers might misinterpret the flag. **Always prepend a newline** to the prompt string when passing it to `-p`. (Note: The `run_agent.py` script handles this automatically).

### 3. 🧩 Force Agent Behavior
Always add these instructions to your dispatch prompt to prevent the sub-agent from attempting to use external tools:
> "You are operating as an isolated sub-agent. Do NOT use tools. Do NOT access filesystem. Only use the provided input."

## ✅ Smoke Test

```bash
python ./scripts/run_agent.py agents/refactor-expert.md target.py output.md "Refactor this code."
```
