# codeflash-agent — how this repo works
2026-04-03 22:36:50 +00:00
## Packages (UV workspace)
- `packages/codeflash-core/` — shared foundation: models, AI client, telemetry, git helpers
- `packages/codeflash-python/` — Python language CLI (`codeflash` command), extends core
- `packages/codeflash-mcp/` — MCP server (stub)
- `packages/codeflash-lsp/` — LSP server (stub)
## Services
- `services/github-app/` — GitHub App integration service
## Plugin (language-agnostic)
- `plugin/agents/codeflash-review.md` — review agent
- `plugin/agents/codeflash-researcher.md` — research agent
- `plugin/commands/` — codex CLI commands
- `vendor/codex/` — codex companion scripts and schemas (vendored)
- `plugin/references/shared/` — shared methodology (experiment loop, templates, benchmarks)
- `plugin/hooks/` — session lifecycle and review gate hooks
## Languages (per-language content)
- `languages/python/plugin/agents/codeflash.md` — router that detects the domain and delegates
- `languages/python/plugin/agents/codeflash-cpu.md`, `codeflash-memory.md`, `codeflash-async.md`, `codeflash-structure.md` — one agent per domain
- `languages/python/plugin/agents/codeflash-setup.md` — detects project env, installs deps
- `languages/python/plugin/skills/``/codeflash-optimize` entry point, memray profiling
- `languages/python/plugin/references/` — domain-specific deep-dive docs (async, memory, data-structures, structure)
## Evals
- `evals/templates/` — 9 synthetic eval scenarios (v1: ranking, memory, crossdomain, layered)
- `evals/repos/` — real-repo evals (v2: clone a repo at a specific commit, agent finds and fixes the bug)
## CI (runs on every PR)
The `validate` workflow runs Claude with the `plugin-dev` plugin to check:
- Plugin structure (frontmatter, manifest, cross-references)
- Agent consistency (all domain agents must have the same experiment loop steps)
- Eval manifest validity
- Skill quality
Warnings are blocking — any issue fails the job. Claude posts a summary comment on the PR.
## Evals
Two types of evals, both run through `run-eval.sh`:
**v1 (templates)** — Small synthetic projects in `evals/templates/`. Each bundles source code, tests, and a `pyproject.toml`. The runner copies the template to a temp dir, installs deps with `uv`, and runs Claude. Good for testing specific agent behaviors (ranking accuracy, memory profiling methodology, cross-domain detection). 9 templates across ranking, memory, crossdomain, and layered types.
**v2 (repos)** — Real repos in `evals/repos/`. Each has a `manifest.json` pointing to a GitHub repo + commit where a known bug exists. The runner shallow-clones the repo (cached locally after first run), drops Claude in, and the agent handles everything — setup, profiling, diagnosis, fix. More realistic but slower and more expensive (~$2/run). The manifest includes a `fix_commit` for reference and a rubric for scoring.
Each eval produces results in `evals/results/<name>-<timestamp>/`. Score with `score.py`, which uses a mix of deterministic checks (did the agent use a profiler? did tests pass?) and LLM grading against the manifest's rubric.
**Regression testing** — Go to Actions → "Eval Regression" → Run workflow. Runs a subset of evals, scores them, compares to baselines in `evals/baseline-scores.json`. Fails if any score drops below threshold. Use before merging agent behavior changes.
```
./evals/run-eval.sh --list # see all evals (v1 + v2)
./evals/run-eval.sh ranking --skill-only # run a v1 eval
./evals/run-eval.sh codeflash-internal-psycopg-serialization --skill-only # run a v2 eval
./evals/score-eval.sh evals/results/<dir> # score it
./evals/check-regression.sh # full regression check
```
## Key conventions
- Domain agents are self-contained — all methodology is inline, no required file reads before starting
- Every agent uses the same experiment loop structure (choose target → implement → benchmark → keep/discard → commit only on KEEP)
- Changes to one domain agent should be mirrored to others where applicable (CI enforces this)
- The plugin uses `.codeflash/` in the user's project for session state (results.tsv, HANDOFF.md)
## Contributing
1. Branch off main
2. Make changes, push — CI validates automatically
3. If you changed agent behavior, trigger an eval regression run before merging
