Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
Version History
agent-registry v2.0.1 - Migrated all CLI scripts from Python to faster Bun/JavaScript implementations. - Introduced user prompt hook for agent search (integrated with Claude's plugin system). - Enhanced install process: optional dependency install for improved UI, Bun-first workflow, Python no longer required. - Added modern interactive migration UI using @clack/prompts (with fallback to basic text selection). - Updated docs and commands to reflect new Bun-based CLI; all registry operations via `bun bin/*.js`.
What This Skill Does
Agent Registry is a lazy-loading discovery system for Claude Code agents. Instead of loading all agents upfront, it indexes them and loads only what's needed for a given task. Reduces context window usage by roughly 95% compared to loading all agents at startup.
Avoids the ~16k token overhead of loading all agents upfront by indexing them and fetching only the ones relevant to each task.
When to use it
- Finding the right specialized agent for a code review task
- Listing all available agents when starting a new project
- Loading a security auditor agent on demand for vulnerability checks
- Migrating existing ~/.claude/agents/ files into the registry
- Running complex multi-step workflows without hitting token limits
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Can you review my authentication code for security issues?
- 1Run search.js with keywords extracted from the request: bun bin/search.js "code review security authentication"
- 2Review relevance scores in results to identify best-matching agent
- 3Load the top-scoring agent's full instructions: bun bin/get.js security-auditor
- 4Follow the loaded agent's instructions to perform the security review
Security audit of the authentication code using the loaded agent's specialized instructions
