# Install all agents to your Claude Code directory
./scripts/install.sh --tool claude-code
# Or manually copy a category
cp engineering/*.md ~/.claude/agents/
Then activate any agent in your Claude Code sessions:
"Hey Claude, activate Frontend Developer mode and help me build a React component"
# Step 1: Generate integration files for all supported tools
./scripts/convert.sh
# Step 2: Install interactively (auto-detects what you have installed)
./scripts/install.sh
The installer scans your system and lets you pick exactly what to install:
