wshobson/agents

A comprehensive plugin system for Claude Code with 112 specialized AI agents, 72 plugins, 146 skills, and 16 multi-agent workflow orchestrators.

Key takeaways

  • Massive Claude Code plugin ecosystem: 72 plugins, 112 agents, 146 skills, 79 dev tools
  • Granular plugin architecture — install only what you need for minimal token usage
  • 16 workflow orchestrators for complex multi-agent tasks like full-stack dev, security hardening, and incident response
  • Agent Teams plugin enables parallel workflows — code review, debugging, and feature development with multiple agents simultaneously
  • Updated for Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5 with three-tier model strategy

FAQ

What is wshobson/agents?

A production-ready plugin system for Claude Code that provides 112 specialized AI agents organized into 72 focused plugins, plus 146 skills and 16 multi-agent workflow orchestrators.

How do you install it?

Add the marketplace with `/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents`, then install individual plugins like `/plugin install python-development`.

What's the difference between plugins and agents?

You install plugins, which bundle related agents. For example, the python-development plugin includes python-pro, django-pro, and fastapi-pro agents.

How does it manage token usage?

Each plugin is isolated and loads only its specific agents, commands, and skills. Progressive disclosure means skills load knowledge only when activated.

What It Is

wshobson/agents is the largest known plugin ecosystem for Claude Code. It provides 112 specialized AI agents across 72 focused plugins, covering architecture, languages, infrastructure, security, data/AI, documentation, business operations, and SEO.

The system follows a granular, composable design — each plugin is isolated with its own agents, commands, and skills, averaging 3.4 components per plugin (following Anthropic's recommended 2-8 pattern).

Architecture

  • 72 Plugins — Single-purpose, minimal token footprint. Organized into 23 categories.
  • 112 Agents — Domain experts spanning full-stack development, DevOps, security, and more.
  • 146 Skills — Modular knowledge packages with progressive disclosure for token efficiency.
  • 16 Orchestrators — Multi-agent coordination for complex workflows (full-stack dev, security hardening, ML pipelines, incident response).
  • 79 Tools — Project scaffolding, security scanning, test automation, infrastructure setup.

Key Features

Agent Teams (Parallel Workflows)

The Agent Teams plugin enables Claude Code's experimental multi-agent parallelism:

  • 7 team presets: review, debug, feature, fullstack, research, security, migration
  • Parallel code review across security, performance, and architecture dimensions
  • Hypothesis-driven debugging with multiple parallel investigations

Conductor (Context-Driven Development)

Transforms Claude Code into a project management tool with a structured Context → Spec & Plan → Implement workflow.

Three-Tier Model Strategy

Updated for Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5 — assigns the right model tier to each task for cost and performance optimization.

Why It Matters

This project demonstrates the emerging pattern of plugin marketplaces for coding agents. Rather than monolithic agent systems, wshobson/agents bets on composability — install only what you need, keep token budgets tight, and orchestrate multiple specialized agents for complex tasks.

With 29k+ GitHub stars, it's one of the most popular open-source projects in the Claude Code ecosystem and a reference implementation for how plugin-based agent architectures can scale.
