Seven specialist hats for Claude Code
A collection of markdown prompt templates that nudge Claude Code into specialist roles like security auditor or vibe-coding coach.

What it does
This repository is a grab-bag of markdown prompt files designed for Claude Code’s agents/ directory. Each file defines a persona—such as security-auditor or vibe-coding-coach—that the CLI tool can adopt automatically during a session. It is essentially curated system prompts treated as configuration.
The interesting bit
There is no executable code, no dependency graph, and no manifest; the entire product is plain text files in an agents/ directory. The value proposition rests entirely on the quality of the prompts inside those markdown files, which the README treats as a black box.
Key highlights
- Seven personas: code refactoring, frontend design, content writing, PRD drafting, project planning, security auditing, and vibe-coding coaching.
- Works at either the project level (
.claude/agents/) or globally (~/.claude/agents/). - Claude Code detects and invokes the personas automatically once the files are present.
- 2,055 stars suggest developers are eager for off-the-shelf Claude Code specializations.
Caveats
- The README lists agent names but never reveals the prompt contents or explains why they beat plain instructions.
- It is unclear how Claude Code chooses which agent to invoke when several are present.
Verdict
Worth a look if you want a quick starting point for Claude Code role-play and are happy to inspect the markdown files yourself. Pass if you already maintain a personal library of system prompts.
