Skill Claude CodeCodex
Multi-agent orchestration framework for Claude Code. Automatically delegates tasks to cheaper, faster sub-agents (Haiku, Sonnet) while maintaining Opus-level quality through verification. Use when working on any coding task — Hydra activates automatically to route file exploration, test running, documentation, code…
Agent
🔵 Hydra's analysis head — thorough code review, debugging, and analysis agent. Use proactively whenever Claude needs to review code for quality, analyze a bug with error messages or stack traces, evaluate dependencies, assess test coverage, review pull request changes, identify performance issues, or analyze…
Agent
🔵 Hydra's implementation head — capable code writing and engineering agent. Use proactively whenever Claude needs to write new code, implement features, refactor existing code, create or modify tests, fix bugs with clear error messages, make API integrations, or perform any code writing task that follows…
Agent
🟢 Hydra's git operations specialist. Handles all version control tasks: staging, committing with well-crafted Conventional Commits messages, branching, merging, rebasing, stashing, cherry-picking, log inspection, diff analysis, and conflict detection. Runs on the cheap tier — git operations are mechanical and…
Agent
🟢 Hydra's security and quality gate agent. Automatically invoked after hydra-coder produces code changes. Performs a fast scan for common security issues (hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, XSS, unsafe deserialization, exposed API keys), code quality checks (unused imports, dead code, missing error handling on async…
Agent
Environment and dependency preflight check for new projects. Detects runtime versions, runs compatibility probe scripts, collects the full dependency tree, and returns a structured inventory for cross-component analysis. Use when the user runs /hydra:preflight or when starting work on a new or unfamiliar project.
Agent
🟢 Hydra's execution head — fast test runner, build executor, and validation agent. Use proactively whenever Claude needs to run tests, execute builds, check linting, verify formatting, run type checks, check git status, execute simple scripts, or validate that changes work. Runs on the cheap tier for speed — ideal…
Agent
🟢 Hydra's fastest head — ultra-fast codebase exploration, information retrieval, and codebase map building/maintenance. Use proactively whenever Claude needs to search files, read code, find patterns, grep for strings, list directories, understand project structure, answer "where is X?" questions, or build/update the…
Agent
🟢 Hydra's documentation head — fast technical writing agent. Use proactively whenever Claude needs to write or update README files, add code comments or docstrings, create changelogs, write API documentation, update configuration docs, or produce any technical writing that describes existing code. Runs on the cheap…
Agent
Fast integration sweep after code changes. Checks for broken imports, missing exports, changed function signatures, missing env vars, circular dependencies, and changed API routes. Runs on the cheap tier for speed. If issues are found, the orchestrator escalates to hydra-sentinel for deep analysis. If clean — done…
Agent
Deep integration analysis triggered when sentinel-scan flags issues. Validates inter-component contracts, traces data flow across boundaries, confirms or dismisses findings from the fast scan, and provides specific fix suggestions. Runs on the mid tier for accuracy.
Command
Manually run the Hydra security and quality scan on specified files or directories.
Command
Show all available Hydra commands, agents, and a quick reference guide.
Command
View, rebuild, or query the codebase dependency map.
Command
Run two-phase environment and compatibility check before starting a new project build.
Command
Suppress Hydra dispatch logs for the rest of this session.
Command
Report a bug, request a feature, or share feedback about Hydra.
Command
Show real token usage, delegation rate, and actual savings for the current Hydra session (parses Claude Code session JSONL — no AI estimation).
Command
Show Hydra framework status — installed agents, version, config, and update availability.
Command
Activate STFU-Agents mode — silence intermediate prose from every dispatched subagent.
Command
Update the Hydra framework to the latest version from npm.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Apply internal-thinking compression to every subagent dispatched in this session. Reduces wasted tokens in subagent context windows that the orchestrator never reads. Works on any subagent — Hydra's, third-party, or Claude Code's built-in agents. Opt-in; session-scoped; runtime-only.
