> **Write once, align everyone.** Keep your conventions in one central `CLAUDE.md` and let `klaussy` compile it into native rules, settings, and skills for Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Copilot, Codex (OpenAI), Google Antigravity, Cline, Aider, OpenCode, and Kimi.

Designed by an ex-GitHub, ex-Twitch, and ex-Microsoft engineer, `klaussy` is a multi-agent repository boilerplate generator. With a single command, it scaffolds conventions, repo-namespaced skills, stack-appropriate settings, and interactive guardrails for **ten major AI coding environments**—matching each agent's native file formats and capability profiles.

> **📣 Out of stealth.** `klaussy` has been six months in the making — developed in private and hardened by a hands-on group of testers wiring it into their own repos and daily agent workflows. After months of iteration and real-world use, it's now open to everyone.

## ⚡ Quick Start

Get your repo ready for agent collaboration in seconds:

```bash
pip install klaussy-agents
cd your-repo
klaussy init
```

*Auto-detects your base branch and stack, then scaffolds all targets. To target specific agents, run `klaussy init --agents claude,cursor`.*

Then use the skills. Every one is namespaced to your repo, so in a repo called `payments-service` you'd hand a whole task to the owl:

```
/payments-service-rest-of-the-owl https://linear.app/acme/issue/PAY-1234
/payments-service-rest-of-the-owl add a --dry-run flag to the reconciler CLI
```

*A ticket link or a plain description both work. See [Using the skills](#using-the-skills) for the naming rule and the rest of the set.*

## 🤖 Supported Agents & Targets

`klaussy` translates your canonical repository conventions (`CLAUDE.md`) and workflows into native formats optimized for each agent's directory placement, scoping mechanisms, and capability boundaries:

*   **🤖 Claude Code**: Native `.claude/skills/`, `.claude/settings.json` allow/deny-lists, and active local read/fetch hooks.
*   **🌌 Google Antigravity**: Cross-agent `AGENTS.md` project-level rules, plugin-based path rules with glob triggers (`rules/*.md`), native hooks, and IDE-compatible permissions.
*   **💻 Cursor**: Interactive MDC rules (`.cursor/rules/*.mdc`) with auto-apply matching, terminal permissions allow-list, and `.cursorignore` read blocks.
*   **🐙 GitHub Copilot**: Instructions with custom `applyTo` file matchers (`.instructions.md`), and skills nested in `.github/skills/`.
*   **♊ Gemini CLI**: Hierarchical `GEMINI.md` scoping (loaded only when touching subdirectories), settings tool allow-lists, and `.geminiignore` filtering.
*   **📜 Codex CLI (OpenAI)**: Structured `AGENTS.md` root-and-nesting rules, generic skills, and `.codex/config.toml` sandbox configurations. This is OpenAI's coding agent — if you work in GPT-5.x through Codex, this is your target.
*   **🧬 Cline**: `.clinerules/` Markdown rules with `paths:` glob activation, event-named `.clinerules/hooks/` guards (commit, read/web-injection, plan guidance), and `.clineignore` read blocks.
*   **🛩️ Aider**: Flat `CONVENTIONS.md` wired in via `.aider.conf.yml`'s `read:` key, `auto-lint`/`lint-cmd` + `test-cmd` gating, and `.aiderignore` read blocks. Model-agnostic — point it at any model, including a local Ollama one. (No skills/hooks: aider has neither mechanism.)
*   **🔓 OpenCode**: Root `AGENTS.md` conventions plus modular `.opencode/rules/*.md` path rules wired via `opencode.json`'s `instructions` glob, `.opencode/skills/`, last-match-wins `permission` read/bash rules in `opencode.json`, and a Bun plugin (`.opencode/plugins/klaussy.js`) that bridges tool hooks to the shared Python guards.
*   **🌙 Kimi Code CLI (Moonshot / Kimi K2)**: Flat `.kimi-code/AGENTS.md` conventions (Kimi reads no nested `AGENTS.md`, so path rules are inlined under their globs, with the pre-plan guidance appended) and `.kimi-code/skills/`. Hooks and permissions are a special case: Kimi loads `[[hooks]]` and `[[permission.rules]]` **only** from the user-level `~/.kimi-code/config.toml`, so klaussy commits the guards to `.kimi-code/hooks/` and writes paste-in snippets (`klaussy-hooks.toml`, `klaussy-permissions.toml`) beside them. Paste once and the guards run against whichever repo the session is in.

**A note on models vs. agents.** These targets are *agent tools*, not model vendors — klaussy writes the files each tool reads, so what matters is which CLI or IDE you drive, not which model answers. OpenAI's agent is **Codex CLI**, so that's where GPT users point klaussy. Aider and OpenCode are model-agnostic and will happily run GPT, Claude, Gemini, Kimi, or a local Ollama model behind the same scaffolding.

## 🛡️ Supercharged Hooks & Guardrails

`klaussy` installs cross-agent, dialect-tolerant guard scripts that intercept agent tool actions (terminal runs, file reads, web requests) at the boundary. They block unsafe commands via `exit 2` and stderr, which all supported agents respect:

### 1. Prompt-Injection Guard (`read_guard.py`)

**Intercepts and neutralizes prompt injection.** Scans the content of any file being read locally or fetched from the web (on supported agents like Claude and Antigravity) for malicious instructions. Stops external data from hijacking your agent's current task context.

### 2. Comment Humanizer (`comment_guard.py`)

**Keeps commits and pull request comments clean.** Intercepts outgoing messages and pull request comments (e.g., `gh pr comment`). Automatically scrubs AI filler words, robotic formatting, and chatty openers, ensuring all generated communication reads like it was written by a human software engineer.

### 3. Pre-Plan Guidance (`plan_guidance.py`)

Injects strict guardrails (e.g., minimal lines changed, no over-engineering, write tests first) directly into the agent's plan step before it begins modifying files, preventing scope creep.

### 4. Git Commit Guard (`commit_guard.py`)

**The last gate before an agent writes to your history.** Not a linter wrapper — these run in order, and the first failure blocks the commit:

| Gate | What it catches |
|---|---|
| 🔑 **Secret scan** | Credentials headed for your history. Eight provider tokens flagged on sight (AWS access keys, GitHub, Slack, Google API, Stripe live and OpenAI keys, private key blocks, Slack webhooks), plus generic `api_key = "..."` assignments gated on length and Shannon entropy — so a real key blocks but `password = "postgres"` doesn't. `os.environ` lookups, `${TEMPLATE}` holes, and `changeme`/`your-key-here` stand-ins are known non-secrets and pass. |
| 📝 **Commit message** | Non-Conventional-Commits subjects, before the commit lands and needs amending. |
| 🎨 **Format + lint** | Your project's own stack (`ruff`, `eslint`, …), scoped to the staged files. |
| 🧟 **Commented-out code** | Dead code an agent parked in a comment "just in case" (`ruff --select ERA`). Flags, never deletes — commented code you meant to keep stays. |
| 💬 **Verbose comments** | The narration tell. Blocks a comment running past 2 sentences, a run of 4+ consecutive prose comments, or any single comment over 30 words. Two sentences is deliberate — it leaves room for the claim-plus-why a real comment needs, and a third is usually the code restated. `# noqa`, `@ts-ignore`, JSDoc, license headers, and bare URLs are exempt. |
| 📦 **Function-local imports** | The import written where the need surfaced instead of where it belongs (`import json` three frames deep). Same rule as ruff's `PLC0415`, but scoped to your changed lines so a local import elsewhere in the file doesn't block you. A `# noqa` on the line keeps the ones that earn it — breaking a cycle, deferring an optional dependency. |

**Nothing outside your staged files is ever judged**, and klaussy's own checks — secrets, comments, imports — narrow further to the *lines* you changed, so a pre-existing secret or comment block elsewhere in a file you touched won't block you. Your project's own format and lint run against the whole staged file, as they would anywhere. The formatter never rewrites the tree outside your diff.

**It fails open, deliberately.** A missing tool, an unparseable payload, or any unexpected error allows the commit rather than blocking it — a guard that crashes shut would deny *every* tool call on some agents. `git commit --no-verify` skips the gate outright, same as git's own hooks.

### 5. Dependency Speed Bump (`dependency_guard.py`)

Catches package-manager commands that add a *new named* dependency (`pip install requests`, `npm install lodash`, `poetry add x`, …) and blocks once, asking the agent to confirm the package is actually needed and not coverable by the stdlib or an existing dep. Ignores manifest syncs (`npm ci`, `pip install -r`, `uv sync`) that add nothing new.

### 6. Self-Review Nudge (`self_review_guard.py`)

Prompts the agent to run a last-pass self-review of its own diff before declaring an implementation done, closing the loop with the `<repo>-self-review` skill.

## 🚀 Advanced Repository-Scoped Skills

Every generated skill is namespaced to your repo, carries an auto-trigger description, and is adapted to the agent's capability profile (such as mapping Claude's parallel subagent tools to Codex/Cursor/Antigravity equivalents). Skills that touch a ticket, a pull/merge request, or CI are also adapted to your hosting provider, detected from `origin`: a GitLab repo's skills ship `glab mr` commands and discussion semantics, not `gh pr`. A provider klaussy can't identify (a self-hosted install on a neutral hostname) gets a block that tells the agent to ask rather than guess at an API.

| Skill | What it does | Magic Feature |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **`<repo>-rest-of-the-owl`** | Runs the entire development loop from a task definition to a green, reviewed PR. | 🦉 **Draws the Rest of the Owl:** Plans, implements, writes tests, self-reviews and fixes, and QAs the change with evidence — then opens a humanized PR and polls CI and code review, fixing findings and resolving threads until the PR is green and clean. Long-running and autonomous; does everything except merge, so the human keeps that button. |
| **`<repo>-review`** | Senior-level PR review against the base branch. | 🧠 **Multi-Lens & Self-Refutation:** Runs parallel sub-agents looking at correctness, security, architecture, and agentic evals. A final validation phase filters out false positives before posting. |
| **`<repo>-debug`** | Rigid 5-phase bug resolution flow. | 🧪 **Test-First:** Reproduces the bug, writes a failing test, implements the fix, and runs the entire suite to verify. |
| **`<repo>-plan`** | Multi-phase planning and execution. | 📋 **Plan Gate:** Writes a detailed `plan.md` checklist and halts, waiting for your explicit approval before modifying files. |
| **`<repo>-precommit`** | Last-mile review of staged changes. | 🔍 **5-Lens Safety check:** Reviews changed lines only for silent failures, leaked secrets, debug leftovers, and verbose comments. |
| **`<repo>-humanize`** | Prose and documentation cleaner. | ✍️ **Say-It-Out-Loud Rewrite:** Rewrites prose in the register you'd use talking to a colleague — contractions, verbs instead of noun phrases, no structure a short answer doesn't need — then runs the deterministic `klaussy humanize` regex engine as a backstop for the tells a prompt can't guarantee. |
| **`<repo>-run`** | Launches and drives your app to watch a change work end-to-end. | 🚦 **Real-App Smoke Test:** Reads the run command from `CLAUDE.md`, backgrounds long-running servers until they're ready, then exercises the actual flow and reports what it saw — never patches code to make it start. |
| **`<repo>-security-audit`** | Focused security pass over the current change. | 🔐 **Threat-Lens Diff Scan:** Applies only the security lenses to the branch diff — leaked secrets, injection & SSRF, broken access control, unsafe deserialization, and vulnerable deps. Narrower and deeper than review; reports findings without refactoring. |
| **`<repo>-self-review`** | Last-pass review of your own diff before "done". | 🪞 **AI-Tell Catcher:** Checks the uncommitted change against a fixed list — reuse, stdlib, comments, dead code, tests, scope — catching what makes a diff read as AI-written before a human ever sees it. A companion hook nudges the agent to run it. |
| **`<repo>-qa`** | Captures PR-ready QA evidence for the current change. | 📸 **Change-Aware Verification:** Classifies the diff and runs only the QA that fits — screenshots for UI, exercised endpoints & e2e for backend, command output for a CLI, tests for a library — then saves artifacts to a `Downloads/<repo>-<branch>` folder where you can open them and writes a summary you can paste into the PR. |
| **`<repo>-restack`** | Rebases a stack of dependent branches after the base moved or the bottom one landed. | 🥞 **Chain-Aware Rebase:** Derives the parent/child chain from git ancestry alone (`merge-base --is-ancestor`, nearest-ancestor wins) and remembers it in `git config`, so it works on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or no forge at all. Records every branch tip as an undo path, rebases each branch `--onto` its new parent so a child never replays its parent's commits, then force-pushes bottom-up with a lease and verifies with `range-diff`. Retargeting PR/MR bases is an optional last step per host; when no CLI matches it prints the steps instead of failing. |
| **`<repo>-split-pr`** | Splits an oversized change into a stack of dependent PRs. | 🔪 **Seam-Finder:** Strips the comment bloat first (a third of a "too big" diff is often narration), then reads the layers off the real import graph via `klaussy split-prep` — Python through `ast`, JS/TS through its imports — so layer 1 provably imports nothing above it. Cycles are flagged as unsplittable, ungraphable files are listed rather than guessed at. Backs the original up to a `-prestack` branch before it edits anything, proves the top of the stack reproduces the carve source byte for byte, and builds every layer on its own before a single push. Confirms the seams with you before creating anything. |
| **`<repo>-grant-permissions`** | Stops the agent asking permission for every routine dev command. | 🔑 **Stack-Aware Allow-List:** Detects your stack — including `scripts/` and Makefile runners a bare `Bash(pytest *)` rule misses — and writes a curated allow-list into each agent's own permission file, so tests, lint, build, git and the package manager stop prompting while secret files stay denied. Proposes the list and shows it before writing; never loosens anything silently. Honest about its boundary: curated mode trusts the agent to run repo code, and per-tool denies don't stop Bash reads of secret files. Broad mode is opt-in. |

*Also bundles skills for `commit`, `pr`, `implement`, `refactor`, `explain`, `test`, `new-worktree`, `fix`, `deps`, `address-review`, `document`, `release`, and `adr-generator`.*

<sub>🥚 And `<repo>-slop-coded` — the evil twin of `humanize` that turns clean prose into maximal AI slop. For laughs and stress-testing the scrubber; never run it on a deliverable.</sub>

## ⚙️ How it Works under the Hood

1. **Discover:** Wraps `klaussy-repo-conventions` to auto-analyze your codebase and compile `CLAUDE.md`.
2. **Translate:** Parses rules and dynamically injects them into the `<repo>-review` skill so reviews check path-scoped rules.
3. **Scaffold:** Detects your stack (Python, Go, Node, Rust, Make) to generate custom permissions (`settings.json`, `config.toml`) and allowed tool prefixes, and detects your hosting provider from `origin` to substitute the matching forge commands into the skills that need them.
4. **Isolate:** Writes `.cursorignore` and `.geminiignore` with secret-excluding patterns.

## 🖥️ Cross-Platform Support

klaussy runs on **macOS, Linux, and Windows**, and its hooks are built so you never have to think about the OS. The guard scripts read stdin as UTF-8 (so a Windows `cp1252` locale never chokes on an em-dash) and resolve tools via `PATH` honoring Windows `PATHEXT` (so `.cmd` shims like `npm`/`eslint` run).

The tricky part is that a committed hook command can't portably name a Python interpreter — `python3` is absent on a stock python.org Windows install, and `python` isn't guaranteed on Linux/macOS. So the guards are launched through **`klaussy-hook`**, a pip console script installed on `PATH` on every OS (`klaussy-hook.exe` on Windows) that runs the guard under klaussy's own interpreter. The committed command names no interpreter at all, so it works the same regardless of which machine scaffolded the repo — no per-OS config, nothing to adjust. (`klaussy` is already needed at runtime by the comment and commit guards, so this adds nothing to install.)

| Agent | Runs on Windows | Same config on any OS | Mechanism |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :--- |
| **Claude Code** | ✅ | ✅ | `klaussy-hook` launcher (PATH-resolved) |
| **Gemini CLI** | ✅ | ✅ | `klaussy-hook` launcher; Gemini self-expands `$GEMINI_PROJECT_DIR` |
| **GitHub Copilot** | ✅ | ✅ | native per-OS `bash` / `powershell` split |
| **OpenCode** | ✅ | ✅ | Bun plugin resolves the interpreter at runtime |
| **Codex CLI** | ✅ | ✅ | per-OS override: `command` (`python3`) + `commandWindows` (`py -3`) |
| **Kimi Code CLI** | ✅ | ✅ | `klaussy-hook --repo-relative` — launcher resolves the repo root at run time |
| **Cursor** | ⚠️ | ⚠️ | docs don't specify the Windows shell or interpreter for hook commands |
| **Antigravity** | ⚠️ | ⚠️ | shell hook execution isn't documented; treat Windows as unverified |
| **Cline** | ❌ | — | Cline hooks are **macOS/Linux only** by spec; the guards are simply inert on Windows |
| **Aider** | ✅ | ✅ | no hook mechanism — nothing OS-specific to reconcile |

- **Cursor / Antigravity** run guards via the interpreter/shebang their docs describe; their Windows hook execution isn't documented, so treat it as best-effort until confirmed.
- Codex's Windows variant resolves the repo root via the same `git rev-parse` the POSIX command uses; it assumes a POSIX-compatible or PowerShell hook shell.
- Kimi's hooks live in the **user's** global config, so the command can't hardcode a repo path — and its four-field hook schema (an unknown key fails the whole config load) leaves no room for a per-OS override or a shell one-liner. `klaussy-hook --repo-relative <path>` resolves the enclosing repo inside the launcher instead, and fails open in repos klaussy hasn't scaffolded, so one global entry stays correct everywhere and inert where it doesn't apply.

## 🔧 Installation & Usage

### As a CLI
```bash
pip install klaussy-agents
klaussy init
```

### Using the skills

After `klaussy init`, the skills are in your repo and invoked by name. The name is always `<your repo name>-<skill>`, lowercased with anything that isn't a letter or digit turned into a hyphen — so `My_App` becomes `my-app-review`, and `Payments Service` becomes `payments-service-review`.

```
/<your repo name>-rest-of-the-owl <task link or description>
```

Hand it a ticket URL or type the task out, and it runs the whole loop: plan, implement, test, self-review, QA with evidence, open a humanized PR, then poll CI and review until the PR is green. It stops before merging, so you keep that button.

The ones you'll reach for daily:

```
/<repo>-review                      # senior-level review of the branch
/<repo>-debug the checkout total is wrong for EU orders
/<repo>-restack                     # rebase a stack of dependent PRs
/<repo>-split-pr                    # carve a too-big branch into a reviewable stack
/<repo>-grant-permissions           # stop the agent asking about routine commands
```

Most skills also trigger on their own when the work matches — describe a bug and `debug` picks it up. Eight are explicit-only, because you don't want them firing on their own: `commit`, `pr`, `precommit`, `release`, `restack`, `split-pr`, `new-worktree`, and `document`.

*On other agents the same skills land in that agent's own directory (`.cursor/skills/`, `.gemini/skills/`, `.opencode/skills/`, `.github/skills/`, `.agents/skills/`) and you invoke them however that agent invokes skills. The slash form above is Claude Code's.*
