Agents
Specialized sub-agents for parallel research
Hyprlayer installs specialized sub-agents that are spawned by the main AI tool to handle specific tasks in parallel. These agents are used internally by commands like /research_codebase and /create_plan.
Available Agents
Section titled “Available Agents”Codebase Agents
Section titled “Codebase Agents”| Agent | Purpose |
|---|---|
| codebase-locator | Finds files, directories, and components relevant to a feature or task. A “super grep/glob” tool. |
| codebase-analyzer | Analyzes implementation details of specific components. Deep-dives into how code works. |
| codebase-pattern-finder | Finds similar implementations, usage examples, or existing patterns to model after. Returns concrete code examples. |
Research Agents
Section titled “Research Agents”| Agent | Purpose |
|---|---|
| web-search-researcher | Searches the web for information not available in the codebase. Useful for API docs, library usage, and modern techniques. |
| thoughts-locator | Discovers relevant documents in the thoughts/ directory. Finds existing research, plans, and context. |
| thoughts-analyzer | Deep-dives on research topics found in the thoughts directory. |
Integration Agents
Section titled “Integration Agents”| Agent | Purpose |
|---|---|
| jira-ticket-reader | Reads full details of a JIRA ticket including description, comments, and linked issues. |
| jira-searcher | Searches JIRA for tickets using JQL or text queries. Finds similar issues and historical context. |
Review Agents
Section titled “Review Agents”| Agent | Purpose |
|---|---|
| adversarial-reviewer | Adversarial code reviewer. Read-only. Reviews the current branch’s diff against its base for ways the code will fail in production — edge cases, race conditions, security holes, resource leaks, silent corruption. Used by /code_review Tier 2 when codex is unavailable, and spawnable on its own as a “challenge this diff” reviewer. |
How Agents Are Used
Section titled “How Agents Are Used”You don’t invoke agents directly. They are spawned by commands when needed:
/research_codebasespawns codebase-locator, codebase-analyzer, and codebase-pattern-finder in parallel to explore different aspects of the codebase/create_planuses codebase-analyzer and thoughts-locator to research before planning/founder_modeuses jira-ticket-reader to create tickets/code_review(Tier 2) spawns adversarial-reviewer when the codex CLI is unavailable
Agent Files
Section titled “Agent Files”Agent definitions are installed alongside commands during hyprlayer ai configure. They live in the agents/ subdirectory of your AI tool’s configuration directory.
