EquilateralAgents Claude Code Plugin - Usage Guide

February 1, 2026 · View on GitHub

v2.1.0 - Now with self-learning agents!

The EquilateralAgents Claude Code plugin provides native integration with Claude Code through skills and slash commands, making it easy to execute production-ready workflows with simple commands.

Overview

The plugin consists of:

  1. Self-Learning Agents - Agents automatically learn from execution history (NEW in v2.1.0!)
  2. Auto-Activation Skill - Claude automatically suggests workflows based on context
  3. Slash Commands - Direct workflow execution with /ea:workflow-name
  4. Agent Memory - Track learning patterns and optimization suggestions (NEW in v2.1.0!)
  5. Upgrade Prompts - Clear information about commercial features

Quick Start

# Clone repository (plugin files included in .claude/)
git clone https://github.com/Equilateral-AI/equilateral-agents-open-core.git
cd equilateral-agents-open-core
npm install

# Claude Code automatically detects .claude/ directory
# Commands are immediately available!

# See what's available
/ea:list

# Run a workflow (agents learn automatically)
/ea:security-review

# Check what agents have learned
/ea:memory

# Natural language also works:
# "Let's do a security review" → Claude suggests /ea:security-review
# "Show me agent learning stats" → Claude suggests /ea:memory

Context-Based Auto-Activation

The EquilateralAgents skill automatically suggests workflows based on conversation context:

User MentionsClaude SuggestsType
"security", "vulnerability", "CVE"/ea:security-reviewOpen Core
"deploy", "deployment", "release"/ea:deploy-featureOpen Core
"code quality", "review", "standards"/ea:code-qualityOpen Core
"infrastructure", "IaC", "CloudFormation"/ea:infrastructure-checkOpen Core
"test", "testing"/ea:test-workflowOpen Core
"GDPR", "data privacy"/ea:gdpr-checkCommercial
"HIPAA", "healthcare"/ea:hipaa-complianceCommercial

Evidence-Based Results

All workflows provide concrete, measurable evidence:

Good Examples:

  • ✅ "Verified: 15/15 security checks passed"
  • 📊 "Quality Score: 87/100 (meets standards)"
  • 🔍 "Found 3 vulnerabilities: 2 medium, 1 low severity"
  • 💾 "Audit Trail: .equilateral/workflow-history.json (23 workflows logged)"

Avoid:

  • ❌ "Security check complete" (no evidence)
  • ❌ "Looks good" (no metrics)
  • ❌ "Done" (no verification)

Workflow Execution

Each command provides complete implementation instructions for Claude Code, including:

  1. Required module imports
  2. Orchestrator configuration
  3. Agent registration
  4. Workflow execution
  5. Result reporting with evidence

Example:

const AgentOrchestrator = require('./equilateral-core/AgentOrchestrator');
const SecurityScannerAgent = require('./agent-packs/security/SecurityScannerAgent');

const orchestrator = new AgentOrchestrator({ projectPath: process.cwd() });
orchestrator.registerAgent(new SecurityScannerAgent());

await orchestrator.start();
const result = await orchestrator.executeWorkflow('security-review', {
    projectPath: process.cwd(),
    depth: 'comprehensive'
});

console.log(`✅ Verified: ${result.results.length} checks passed`);

Audit Trails

All workflows maintain audit trails in .equilateral/workflow-history.json:

{
  "id": "1730400000000",
  "type": "security-review",
  "status": "completed",
  "startTime": "2024-10-31T12:00:00.000Z",
  "endTime": "2024-10-31T12:02:15.000Z",
  "results": [
    {
      "agentId": "security-scanner",
      "taskType": "scan",
      "result": { "vulnerabilities": [...] },
      "timestamp": "2024-10-31T12:02:15.000Z"
    }
  ]
}
