Features

AgileFlow includes powerful features to protect your codebase, automate workflows, and keep your team productive.

Core Features

Skills System

Create, manage, and continuously improve custom AI prompts that learn from your feedback.

• Research-backed creation - Generated from web docs, local documentation, and your codebase
• Cookbook workflows - Multiple use-case specific guides in a single skill
• Self-improving - Skills learn from your corrections and refine automatically
• MCP integration - Connect to Model Context Protocol servers for tool access
• Team shareable - Commit to git and share institutional knowledge

Learn about Skills

Agent Expertise System

Enable self-improving agents that maintain domain knowledge and accelerate task execution.

• Expertise files - Agents maintain mental models of their domain
• Three-step workflow - Plan (with expertise) → Build → Self-Improve
• Automatic learning - Expertise updates as agents work and make changes
• Validation & metrics - Tools to ensure expertise stays accurate and current
• Focused domains - Specialized knowledge for database, API, UI, testing, CI/CD, and more

Learn about Agent Expertise

Agent Teams

Coordinate multiple domain experts to work together on complex multi-domain tasks using Claude Code's native Agent Teams.

• Dual-mode architecture - Native Agent Teams when enabled, subagent orchestrator as fallback
• Team templates - Predefined teams for fullstack, code-review, builder-validator, and code-logic
• Quality gates - Enforce tests, lint, types, and coverage before work is accepted
• Task synchronization - Bidirectional sync between Claude Code's task list and AgileFlow status
• Auto-detection - /babysit automatically suggests teams for multi-domain tasks

Learn about Agent Teams

Parallel Sessions

Work on multiple features, bugs, or experiments simultaneously with isolated workspaces and boundary protection.

• Git worktrees - Each session gets its own directory and branch
• Boundary protection - Edit/Write hooks prevent accidental cross-session edits
• Easy switching - Use /add-dir to switch sessions in the same terminal
• Session tracking - AgileFlow tracks all sessions with status and activity
• Independent context - Each session maintains its own story and progress

Automation & Execution

Smart Detection

Contextual Feature Router that automatically recommends the right AgileFlow features at the right time.

• 42 feature detectors - Analyze project signals and recommend relevant commands
• Lifecycle-aware - 5 workflow phases ensure recommendations match what you're doing
• Script-based - Deterministic detection, not LLM guesswork
• Anti-repetition - Tracks offered/used/skipped features to avoid nagging
• Configurable - Disable features, adjust thresholds, override priorities

Learn about Smart Detection

Hooks System

Event-driven automation using Claude Code's official hooks for triggers and responses.

• SessionStart hooks - Run scripts when Claude Code starts
• PreCompact hooks - Preserve context during conversation compression
• PreToolUse hooks - Block dangerous commands before execution
• Ready-to-use scripts - Status line, auto-archival, context preservation

Learn about Hooks System

Automations System

Schedule recurring tasks to run automatically without requiring a daemon.

• No daemon required - Runs during user sessions via SessionStart hook
• Multiple schedule types - Daily, weekly, monthly, or custom intervals
• Preset automations - Pre-built automation templates (changelog, CI summary, dependency audit)
• Loop detection - Prevents runaway automation chains
• Timeout protection - Built-in safeguards for stuck processes

Loop Mode

Run Claude autonomously with continuous story execution until epic completion.

• Autonomous story processing - Claude works through an epic without manual intervention
• Test-based verification - Stories verified complete via test suite
• Configurable limits - Set max iterations and timeouts
• Smart detection - Auto-enabled for epics with clear acceptance criteria
• Multi-mode support - Normal (test-based), Visual (UI), or Coverage-focused modes

Learn about Loop Mode

Visual Mode

Screenshot verification system for UI development with automated visual progress tracking.

• Verified-prefix protocol - Screenshots must be reviewed and renamed with verified- prefix
• Integrated with Loop Mode - Adds visual verification step in autonomous execution
• Multiple states capture - Test default, hover, disabled, and other UI states
• Auto-cleanup - Optional cleanup of verified screenshots after completion

Learn about Visual Mode

Compact Context Preservation

Preserve critical agent knowledge and state during automatic context compaction.

• Context-aware compaction - Critical rules preserved when Claude Code compresses context
• Priority-based preservation - Critical agents always preserved
• State continuity - Current story, blockers, and progress maintained
• Long conversation support - Sustained agent focus over days of work
• Zero-overhead - Automatic, no manual configuration needed

Decision Making & Analysis

AI Council

Get balanced strategic perspectives on complex architectural and business decisions.

• Three perspectives - Optimist (opportunities), Advocate (risks), Analyst (trade-offs)
• Parallel deliberation - All three agents analyze simultaneously
• Debate mode - Multi-round deliberation where agents respond to each other
• Consensus synthesis - Final recommendation balancing all viewpoints

Logic Audit

Find logic bugs with multi-agent specialized analyzers and consensus voting.

• Five analyzer types - Edge cases, invariants, control flow, type errors, race conditions
• Parallel analysis - All analyzers run simultaneously for efficiency
• Confidence scoring - CONFIRMED (2+ agree), LIKELY (evidence-based), INVESTIGATE
• Actionable reports - Prioritized findings with reproduction steps

RLM (Recursive Language Models)

Analyze complex large documents without context bloat using virtualization.

• Document virtualization - Never loads full document into context
• Programmatic search - Use document-repl for targeted extraction
• Multi-hop reasoning - Support for cross-referenced content (contracts, specs)
• Iteration limits - Built-in budget constraints and iteration tracking

Research Pipeline

Structured research workflow for gathering and synthesizing knowledge.

• Research prompts - Generate detailed 200+ line prompts for external AI tools
• Import & organize - Save research findings from external sources
• Analysis - Extract structured insights from research notes
• Synthesis - Combine multiple research sources into actionable conclusions

API Server

REST API for external integrations and dashboard applications.

• Read-only access - Exposes state without mutations
• Localhost-only - Secure by default (127.0.0.1)
• JSON endpoints - Access sessions, status, tasks, and metrics
• No daemon needed - Starts and stops on demand

Setup & Safety

Configuration System

Unified system for managing hooks, safety features, and automation with preset profiles and individual feature control.

• Git setup - Initialize repository and remote connections
• Hooks system - Event-driven automation (SessionStart, PreCompact, Stop)
• Status line - Custom status bar in Claude Code
• Archival - Auto-manage status.json file size
• CI/CD - Automated testing with GitHub Actions, GitLab, CircleCI
• Attribution - Control AI disclosure in git commits
• And more - PreCompact context, verification, token management

• Auto-detection - Detect which IDEs are configured in your project
• Damage Control - Optional safety system for Claude Code
• Dynamic content - Commands and agents automatically injected on install
• Multi-IDE support - Use the same project across multiple IDEs

Learn about IDE Integrations

Damage Control

Protect your codebase from destructive commands using PreToolUse hooks.

• Bash command validation - Block dangerous patterns like rm -rf /, git push --force
• File access control - Protect secrets, keys, and critical files
• Customizable rules - Add project-specific protection patterns
• Ask-first mode - Require confirmation for risky operations
• Three protection layers - Bash, Edit, and Write tool validation
