Execution Instructions

When the user runs this command:

No Arguments - List Available Agents

1. Scan Product Forge plugins cache for all available agents:

   ls ~/.claude/plugins/cache/product-forge-marketplace/*/agents/*.md 2>/dev/null
   

2. For each plugin with agents, list them with descriptions:

   • Read agent file frontmatter to get name, description, and model
   • Format as: {plugin}:{agent-name} ({model}) - {description}

3. Display formatted list:

   Available agents from Product Forge:
   
   product-design:
     product-architect (sonnet) - Full product development guidance
     prd-orchestrator (sonnet) - PRD lifecycle management
     qa-tester (sonnet) - Manual QA test procedure creation
     web-debugger (sonnet) - Web application debugging
     ...
   
   git-workflow:
     commit-expert (haiku) - Git commit specialist
     rebase-expert (haiku) - Git rebase specialist
     code-review-expert (sonnet) - Code review orchestrator
     ...
   
   python-experts:
     django-expert (sonnet) - Django web application specialist
     fastapi-expert (sonnet) - FastAPI async REST API specialist
     ...
   
   Usage: /copy-agent <plugin>:<agent-name> [--user | --project]
   

With Arguments - Copy Agent

1. Parse arguments:

   • Extract plugin and agent-name from <plugin>:<agent-name> format
   • Determine destination: --user or --project (default)

2. Locate source agent:

   SOURCE=~/.claude/plugins/cache/product-forge-marketplace/{plugin}/agents/{agent-name}.md
   

   • If not found, show error with available agents from that plugin

3. Determine destination path:

   • --project: .claude/{plugin}/agents/{agent-name}.md
   • --user: ~/.claude/{plugin}/agents/{agent-name}.md

4. Check if destination exists:

   • If exists, use AskUserQuestion to prompt:

     Agent '{agent-name}' already exists at {destination}.
     
     Options:
     - Overwrite: Replace existing agent
     - Rename: Save as {agent-name}-copy.md
     - Cancel: Abort operation
     

5. Create destination directory structure:

   mkdir -p {destination_dir}
   

6. Copy agent file:

   cp {source} {destination}
   

7. Confirm success:

   Agent copied successfully!
   
   Source: ~/.claude/plugins/cache/product-forge-marketplace/{plugin}/agents/{agent-name}.md
   Destination: {destination}
   
   The agent is now available in your {project|user} configuration.
