Cross-Plugin Detective Integration
Version: 1.0.0 Purpose: Connect ANY agent to the appropriate detective skill based on role
⛔ CORE PRINCIPLE: INDEXED MEMORY ONLY
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ ALL DETECTIVE SKILLS USE claudemem (INDEXED MEMORY) EXCLUSIVELY ║
║ ║
║ When ANY agent references a detective skill, they MUST: ║
║ ❌ NEVER use grep, find, rg, Glob tool, Grep tool ║
║ ✅ ALWAYS use claudemem search "query" ║

How to Reference Skills in Agent Frontmatter
Example: Developer Agent
---
name: my-developer-agent
description: Implements features
skills: code-analysis:developer-detective
---
# My Developer Agent
When investigating code, use the developer-detective skill.
This gives you access to indexed memory search via claudemem.
## Investigation Pattern
Before implementing:
1. Check claudemem status: `claudemem status`
2. Search for related code: `claudemem search "feature I'm implementing"`
3. Read specific files from results
4. NEVER use grep or find for discovery
Example: Architect Agent
---
name: my-architect-agent
description: Designs architecture
skills: code-analysis:architect-detective
---
# My Architect Agent
When analyzing architecture, use the architect-detective skill.
## Architecture Discovery
1. Check claudemem status: `claudemem status`
2. Search for patterns: `claudemem search "service layer architecture"`
3. Map dependencies: `claudemem search "import dependency injection"`
4. NEVER use grep or find for discovery
Example: Multi-Skill Agent
---
name: comprehensive-reviewer
description: Reviews all aspects
skills: code-analysis:ultrathink-detective, code-analysis:tester-detective

Integration Examples
Example 1: Frontend Developer Agent Needing to Find Code
// In frontend plugin's typescript-frontend-dev agent:
// ❌ WRONG - Never do this
Grep({ pattern: "UserService", type: "ts" });
Glob({ pattern: "**/user*.ts" });
// ✅ CORRECT - Use indexed memory via developer-detective skill
// The skill teaches the agent to use:
claudemem search "UserService implementation methods"
Example 2: Backend Architect Analyzing API Structure
// In bun plugin's api-architect agent:
// ❌ WRONG - Never do this
find . -name "*.controller.ts"
grep -r "router\." . --include="*.ts"
// ✅ CORRECT - Use indexed memory via architect-detective skill
claudemem search "API controller endpoint handler"
claudemem search "router pattern REST GraphQL"
Example 3: Test Architect Finding Coverage Gaps
// In frontend plugin's test-architect agent:
// ❌ WRONG - Never do this
Glob({ pattern: "**/*.test.ts" });
Grep({ pattern: "describe" });
// ✅ CORRECT - Use indexed memory via tester-detective skill
claudemem search "test coverage describe spec"
claudemem search "mock stub test assertion"
Skill Inheritance Pattern
When an agent needs code investigation, it should:
- Reference the appropriate detective skill in frontmatter
- Follow the skill's INDEXED MEMORY ONLY requirement
- Use claudemem for ALL code discovery
- NEVER fall back to grep/find/Glob/Grep tools
---
name: any-agent-that-needs-investigation
skills: code-analysis:developer-detective # or architect/tester/debugger/ultrathink
---
# This agent inherits:
# - INDEXED MEMORY requirement (claudemem only)
# - Role-specific search patterns
# - Output format guidance
# - FORBIDDEN: grep, find, Glob, Grep tools
Plugin Dependencies
If your plugin has agents that need code investigation, add this dependency:
{
"name": "your-plugin",
"dependencies": {
"code-analysis@mag-claude-plugins": "^1.6.0"
}
}
This ensures:
- claudemem skills are available
- Detective skills are accessible via
code-analysis:*prefix - Agents can reference skills in frontmatter
Summary: The Golden Rule
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

View allChoose optimal external AI models for code analysis, bug investigation, and architectural decisions. Use when consulting multiple LLMs via claudish, comparing model perspectives, or investigating complex Go/LSP/transpiler issues. Provides empirically validated model rankings (91/100 for MiniMax M2, 83/100 for Grok Code Fast) and proven consultation strategies based on real-world testing.
CRITICAL - Guide for using Claudish CLI ONLY through sub-agents to run Claude Code with OpenRouter models (Grok, GPT-5, Gemini, MiniMax). NEVER run Claudish directly in main context unless user explicitly requests it. Use when user mentions external AI models, Claudish, OpenRouter, or alternative models. Includes mandatory sub-agent delegation patterns, agent selection guide, file-based instructions, and strict rules to prevent context window pollution.
MANDATORY tracking protocol for multi-model validation. Creates structured tracking tables BEFORE launching models, tracks progress during execution, and ensures complete results presentation. Use when running 2+ external AI models in parallel. Trigger keywords - "multi-model", "parallel review", "external models", "consensus", "model tracking".
XML tag structure patterns for Claude Code agents and commands. Use when designing or implementing agents to ensure proper XML structure following Anthropic best practices.
