#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ flatten_agents.py -- Promote every nested agent to a top-level sibling. Claude Code's /agents Library tab auto-discovers ONLY top-level .md files in ~/.claude/agents/. Agents living in category subdirs (design/, engineering/, game-development/, etc.) are invisible to the Library — there are 169 such orphans across 15 folders. This script walks ~/.claude/agents/ and for every nested .md file with YAML frontmatter containing a `name:` field (i.e. a real agent, not a reference note), it writes a sibling copy at the top level. The original nested file is left untouched so existing references still resolve. Safety: - Skips files with no frontmatter (reference notes, includes). - Skips if a sibling with the same basename already exists (no collision risk — verified at time of writing, but re-checked here). - Dry-run by default; pass --apply to actually write. Usage: python src/flatten_agents.py # dry run, print plan python src/flatten_agents.py --apply # perform the flatten python src/flatten_agents.py --apply -v # verbose """ from __future__ import annotations import argparse import shutil import sys from pathlib import Path AGENTS_DIR = Path.home() / ".claude" / "agents" def has_name_frontmatter(path: Path) -> bool: """Return True if the file opens with YAML frontmatter containing `name:`.""" try: with path.open(encoding="utf-8", errors="replace") as fh: first = fh.readline().rstrip("\r\n") if first != "---": return False for line in fh: stripped = line.rstrip("\r\n") if stripped == "---": return False if stripped.startswith("name:"): return True return False except OSError: return False def plan_flatten(agents_dir: Path) -> tuple[list[tuple[Path, Path]], list[str]]: """Return (copy_plan, warnings). copy_plan is list of (src, dst) pairs.""" copy_plan: list[tuple[Path, Path]] = [] warnings: list[str] = [] if not agents_dir.exists(): warnings.append(f"agents_dir does not exist: {agents_dir}") return copy_plan, warnings for md in agents_dir.rglob("*.md"): # Top-level files are already discoverable. if md.parent == agents_dir: continue if not has_name_frontmatter(md): continue dst = agents_dir / md.name if dst.exists(): # Don't clobber — flag so humans can resolve. if dst.read_bytes() != md.read_bytes(): warnings.append(f"collision (different content): {md} -> {dst}") continue copy_plan.append((md, dst)) return copy_plan, warnings def apply_plan(plan: list[tuple[Path, Path]], verbose: bool) -> int: copied = 0 for src, dst in plan: try: shutil.copy2(src, dst) copied += 1 if verbose: print(f" copied {src.relative_to(AGENTS_DIR)} -> {dst.name}") except OSError as e: print(f" FAILED {src}: {e}", file=sys.stderr) return copied def main() -> None: parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description=__doc__) parser.add_argument("--apply", action="store_true", help="actually copy files (default: dry run)") parser.add_argument("-v", "--verbose", action="store_true", help="print each action") parser.add_argument( "--agents-dir", type=Path, default=AGENTS_DIR, help="override agents dir (default: ~/.claude/agents)", ) args = parser.parse_args() plan, warnings = plan_flatten(args.agents_dir) print(f"flatten_agents: {len(plan)} files to promote, {len(warnings)} warnings") for w in warnings: print(f" warn: {w}", file=sys.stderr) if not args.apply: if args.verbose: for src, dst in plan: print(f" would copy {src.relative_to(args.agents_dir)} -> {dst.name}") print("dry run — pass --apply to perform the flatten") sys.exit(0) copied = apply_plan(plan, args.verbose) print(f"done: {copied} agents promoted to top-level siblings") sys.exit(0 if copied == len(plan) else 1) if __name__ == "__main__": main()
