Agent Powerups

Oh My Zsh for coding agents.

Agent Powerups is an Oh My Zsh-style collection of reusable skills, slash commands, MCP configs, hooks, AGENTS.md templates, and workflows for coding agents.

Today, this repo ships:

• reusable skills
• safe local CLI (apx) with runnable local checks
• persistent Gemini relay for always-active secondary-agent delegation
• validation and requirement-check scripts
• verified local GitHub MCP check, smoke, and install flow
• command, hook, workflow, examples, and AGENTS.md templates
• 14 plugin bundles (7 beta, 7 experimental) with apx plugins discovery, validation, and install flow
• user-intent profiles with apx profiles for curated skill/plugin sets

Everything else stays conservative. No global mutation. No hidden install hooks. No fake marketplace claims.

Quickstart

Using Source Checkout (Development)

1. Clone and install deps:

git clone https://github.com/yeaight7/agent-powerups.git
cd agent-powerups
npm install

2. Build CLI and install globally:

npm run build
npm link

3. Check repo health:

apx doctor
apx doctor --full

4. Browse catalog:

apx list
apx info markitdown-file-intake
apx commands run ship-check
apx hooks run no-secrets-preflight --all
apx mcp check github-local --target generic
apx mcp smoke github-local --json
apx mcp install github-local --target codex --dry-run

5. Work with plugin bundles:

apx plugins list
apx plugins info dev-vitals
apx plugins validate --all
apx plugins install dev-vitals --target codex --dry-run

6. Try a local advisor CLI and save an artifact:

apx ask-codex "Return OK only" --json
apx ask-claude "Return OK only" --json
apx ask-gemini "Return OK only" --json

7. Start a persistent relay session (keeps context across turns):

apx relay init second-opinion
apx relay start second-opinion --provider gemini
apx relay ask second-opinion "Review this plan" --json
apx relay status second-opinion
apx relay stop second-opinion

8. Browse profiles and apply one:

apx profiles list
apx profiles info safe-core
apx profiles apply safe-core --dry-run

9. Check deps without installing:

apx check markitdown-file-intake
apx check ask-codex
apx check ask-claude
apx check ask-gemini

Preview supported dependency installers before asking for approval:

apx check defuddle --install-missing --dry-run
apx check markitdown-file-intake --install-missing --dry-run

10. Dry-run safe install:

apx install markitdown-file-intake --target codex --dry-run
apx install ask-claude --target codex --dry-run

11. Agent setup:

apx setup codex --dry-run
apx setup codex --mode minimal --yes    # bootstrap only
apx setup codex --mode recommended --yes  # main agent setup (recommended)
apx setup codex --mode full --yes       # broad staging

Agent-managed setup (recommended)

Give your agent access to this repo and ask it to run:

apx list
apx profiles list
apx setup <codex|claude-code|gemini> --mode recommended --yes

Agent will inspect available skills/plugins, propose a plan, and apply it.

Manual setup

Dry-run first, then apply:

apx setup codex --dry-run
apx setup codex --mode recommended --yes

Agent setup docs:

• docs/setup/codex.md
• docs/setup/claude-code.md
• docs/setup/gemini.md

12. Keep repo validation in loop:

python scripts/validate-skills.py
python scripts/validate-catalog.py
python scripts/check-requirements.py
