Claude Builder - Transform Projects into Intelligent Agent Development Environments

Analyzes your project and generates tailored Claude Code development environments with intelligent agent selection and project-specific guidance.

What Claude Builder Does

Currently: Analyzes projects (15+ languages, 25+ frameworks) and generates intelligent CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files with project-specific agent recommendations.

In Development: Working toward natural language triggers like "optimize this API" that automatically suggest relevant agent teams based on your project context.

Goal: Reduce the overhead of discovering and coordinating Claude Code agents by providing smart defaults and context-aware suggestions.

Key Features

🔍 Project Analysis

Detects languages, frameworks, project types, and complexity to understand your codebase

# Analyzes project characteristics
Project: Python FastAPI + PostgreSQL
Detection: Web API, moderate complexity
Suggests: backend-architect, api-tester, database-optimizer

🤖 Agent Recommendations

Suggests relevant Claude Code agents based on your project's characteristics

# For a React dashboard project
Recommended agents: frontend-developer, ui-designer, performance-optimizer
Generated triggers: "optimize bundle size", "improve accessibility", "design components"

📝 Documentation Generation

Creates tailored CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files with project-specific guidance

claude-builder /your/project
# Generates CLAUDE.md with development guidelines
# Creates AGENTS.md with suggested agent teams
# Includes project-specific best practices

🛠️ Template System

Uses hierarchical templates (base + language + framework) for consistent, relevant output

# Template composition example
base.md → python.md → fastapi.md → final output
# Results in FastAPI-specific development guidance

Real-World Examples

Python FastAPI Project

Manual approach: Research agents, create generic configurations, remember which agents work well together

With claude-builder:

claude-builder ./my-fastapi-project
# Detects: Python 3.11, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis
# Suggests: backend-architect, api-tester, database-optimizer, security-auditor
# Generates context: API development patterns, database optimization, security considerations

React Dashboard Project

Before: Individual agent discovery, manual coordination overhead

# Traditional approach
- Look up frontend-specific agents
- Manually coordinate ui-designer with frontend-developer
- Remember which agents work well together for React projects

After: Seamless team orchestration with contextual intelligence

claude-builder ./react-dashboard
# Detects: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS
# Team: frontend-developer, ui-designer, performance-optimizer, accessibility-checker
# Triggers: "optimize bundle size", "improve accessibility", "design better UX"

Rust CLI Tool

Before: Generic guidance, no systems-specific optimization

# Traditional approach
- Use general-purpose agents not optimized for systems programming
- Miss Rust-specific performance and memory management expertise
- No integration with Rust ecosystem tools and patterns

After: Systems programming expertise with Rust specialization

claude-builder ./rust-cli-tool
# Detects: Rust, CLI patterns, system dependencies, performance requirements
# Team: systems-programmer, performance-optimizer, cli-specialist, rust-expert
# Triggers: "optimize memory usage", "improve CLI ergonomics", "add benchmarks"

💡 Natural Language Interaction Examples

Feature Development Workflows

# Generated automatically for each project
feature_development:
  trigger: "build new feature"
  team: [rapid-prototyper, ui-designer, test-writer-fixer, deployment-manager]
  coordination: sequential_with_feedback

authentication_system:
  trigger: "build user authentication"
  team: [security-auditor, backend-architect, frontend-developer, test-writer-fixer]
  coordination: security_first_then_implementation

performance_optimization:
  trigger: "optimize performance"
  team: [profiler-agent, performance-optimizer, database-tuner, load-tester]
  coordination: parallel_analysis_then_sequential_fixes

Debugging & Investigation

# Natural language triggers generated for your specific project:
"debug this error" → error-detective + test-writer-fixer + documentation-updater
"investigate slow queries" → database-tuner + profiler-agent + performance-optimizer
"security audit this endpoint" → security-auditor + penetration-tester + compliance-checker
"optimize bundle size" → performance-optimizer + webpack-specialist + asset-optimizer

🏗️ Advanced Usage

# Detailed project analysis with comprehensive output
claude-builder analyze ./project --verbose
# → Language detection, framework analysis, complexity assessment, agent recommendations

# Export analysis for inspection and integration
claude-builder analyze ./project --output=analysis.json
# → Complete project intelligence in structured format

# Generate agent-specific environments
claude-builder ./project generate agents --template=web-api
# → Specialized agent configuration for API development

Git Integration & Safety

# Safe git integration (recommended - files not committed)
claude-builder ./project --git-exclude

# Control references in generated content
claude-builder ./project --claude-mentions=forbidden   # No AI references
claude-builder ./project --claude-mentions=minimal     # Minimal technical references
claude-builder ./project --claude-mentions=allowed     # Full attribution

# Backup existing files before generation
claude-builder ./project --backup-existing

Template & Configuration Management

# List available built-in templates
claude-builder templates list
# → Shows base, language-specific, and framework templates

# Validate custom template structure
claude-builder templates validate ./custom-template

# Initialize and manage project configuration
claude-builder config init ./project
claude-builder config show ./project

Future Natural Language Interaction (Vision)

# Coming with Agent Orchestration Engine:
claude-builder ./project orchestrate "build user authentication system"
claude-builder ./project ask "how do I optimize this database query?"
claude-builder ./project deploy "with security audit and performance testing"
