Assess agentic layer maturity using the complete 12-grade classification system from TAC Lesson 14.
.claude/ directoryThree classes with 12 total grades:
| Grade | Component | Indicator |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Memory Files | CLAUDE.md exists with guidance |
| 2 | Sub-Agents | Task agents used for parallelization |
| 3 | Skills/MCPs | Custom skills or MCP integrations |
| 4 | Closed-Loops | Self-validating prompts |
| 5 | Templates | Bug/feature/chore classification |
| 6 | Prompt Chains | Multi-step composite workflows |
| 7 | Agent Experts | Expertise files with self-improve |
| Grade | Component | Indicator |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Webhooks | External triggers (PITER framework) |
| 2 | ADWs | AI Developer Workflows running |
| Grade | Component | Indicator |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Orchestrator | Meta-agent managing fleet |
| 2 | Orchestrator Workflows | Human-orchestrator interaction |
| 3 | ADWs + Orchestrator | Full autonomous execution |
Check for indicators of each grade:
# Grade 1: Memory files
ls .claude/ CLAUDE.md
# Grade 2: Sub-agents
ls .claude/agents/
# Grade 3: Skills
ls .claude/skills/ || ls -d */skills/ 2>/dev/null
# Grade 4: Closed-loop patterns
grep -r "validation" .claude/commands/
grep -r "retry" .claude/commands/
# Grade 5: Templates
ls .claude/commands/ | grep -E "(chore|bug|feature)"
# Grade 6: Prompt chains
grep -r "Step 1" .claude/commands/
grep -r "Then execute" .claude/commands/
# Grade 7: Agent experts
ls .claude/commands/experts/ 2>/dev/null
find . -name "expertise.yaml"
# Grade 8 (Class 2 G1): Webhooks
find . -name "*webhook*" -o -name "*trigger*"
# Grade 9 (Class 2 G2): ADWs
ls adws/ 2>/dev/null
# Grade 10-12 (Class 3): Orchestrator
find . -name "*orchestrator*"
For each grade, determine status:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ✅ Complete | Fully implemented and used |
| 🔶 Partial | Some elements present |
| ❌ Missing | Not implemented |
Your level = highest consecutive completed grade
Example:
Result: Class 1 Grade 4 (solid), targeting Grade 5
Recommend specific actions for next grade:
| Current | Next Step |
|---|---|
| Grade 1 | Add Task agents for parallelization |
| Grade 2 | Create custom skills or MCP |
| Grade 3 | Add validation loops to prompts |
| Grade 4 | Implement issue classification templates |
| Grade 5 | Chain prompts into workflows |
| Grade 6 | Build first agent expert |
| Grade 7 | Set up external triggers |
| C2G1 | Implement AI Developer Workflows |
| C2G2 | Build orchestrator agent |
| C3G1 | Add human-orchestrator workflows |
| C3G2 | Connect orchestrator to ADWs |

.claude/ directory structure"Your agentic layer should be specialized to fit and wrap your codebase. Don't focus on reuse, focus on making these prompts great for that one codebase."
Each grade builds on the previous. Skip a grade and the foundation becomes unstable.
| Anti-Pattern | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Skipping grades | Missing foundation | Build progressively |
| Over-engineering early | Complexity before value | Start with Grade 1-2 |
| Generic layers | Don't fit codebase | Specialize for your project |
| Assessment without action | No improvement | Prioritize next step |

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "agent frontmatter", "when to use description", "agent examples", "agent tools", "agent colors", "autonomous agent", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, triggering conditions, or agent development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a slash command", "add a command", "write a custom command", "define command arguments", "use command frontmatter", "organize commands", "create command with file references", "interactive command", "use AskUserQuestion in command", or needs guidance on slash command structure, YAML frontmatter fields, dynamic arguments, bash execution in commands, user interaction patterns, or command development best practices for Claude Code.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.
