Gaia

General Agentic Integration Architecture

Cómo leer este repo

Gaia is event-driven. Every capability in the codebase is attached to a moment in the Claude Code lifecycle — a prompt arriving, a tool being called, an agent completing. Reading the folder structure without that lens makes it look like a collection of files. Reading it with that lens, everything clicks into place.

The flow is this: a user sends a prompt, the UserPromptSubmit hook fires and injects the orchestrator's identity and a routing recommendation. The orchestrator picks a specialist agent and dispatches it. Before that agent's first tool call lands, the PreToolUse hook intercepts it — injecting context, validating permissions, blocking dangerous commands. The agent does its work and returns a agent_contract_handoff. The SubagentStop hook fires, validates the contract, records metrics, and writes to episodic memory.

UserPromptSubmit  ->  routing  ->  PreToolUse  ->  agent  ->  PostToolUse  ->  SubagentStop
      |                  |               |              |             |               |
  identity           surface-        security       agent_contract_handoff  audit log     metrics +
  injection          routing.json    gate +                                      memory
                                     context
                                     injection

That pipeline is the spine. Everything else in this repo is either a component of that pipeline (hooks/, agents/, skills/, config/) or infrastructure that supports it (build/, bin/, tests/). Start with the folder that matches the behavior you want to understand, and its README will tell you where it fits in the flow.

Overview

Gaia is a multi-agent orchestration system for DevOps automation. It ships two sub-plugins — gaia-ops (full orchestrator) and gaia-security (security-only) — with security-first command classification, specialized AI agents, and plugin-based distribution. Currently integrates with Claude Code.

Features

• Multi-cloud support - GCP, AWS, Azure
• 8 agents - platform-architect, gitops-operator, cloud-troubleshooter, developer, gaia-planner, gaia-operator, gaia-orchestrator, gaia-system (meta-agent)
• Contracts as SSOT - Cloud-agnostic base contracts with per-cloud extensions (GCP, AWS)
• Dynamic identity - Orchestrator identity defined in agents/gaia-orchestrator.md, activated via settings.json agent config; skills loaded on-demand
• Dual-barrier security - Settings deny rules (Claude Code native) + hook-level blocking (inalterable via symlink)
• Indirect execution detection - Catches bash -c, eval, python -c wrappers that bypass regex patterns
• Approval gates for T3 operations via native ask dialog
• Git commit validation with Conventional Commits
• 32 skills - Injected procedural knowledge modules for agents (protocol, domain, workflow)
• Episodic memory - gaia memory CLI with FTS5 search, episode inspection, and session context orientation
• Context evals - pytest-driven agent evaluation (5 graders, 3 backends, 10 scenarios, baseline + drift detection)
• Plugin + npm - Distributable as Claude Code native plugin or npm package
• Enterprise ready - Managed settings template for organization-wide deployment

Installation

Via Claude Code Plugin (recommended)

# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add metraton/gaia

# Install the full system (includes security)
/plugin install gaia-ops

# Or install security only
/plugin install gaia-security    # Security hooks only

Via npm (advanced setup)

npm install @jaguilar87/gaia

The npm install postinstall script bootstraps the database, creates .claude/, writes symlinks, and registers the plugin. Run gaia doctor afterward to verify.

Quick Start (npm)

# Install and bootstrap (postinstall does the rest)
npm install @jaguilar87/gaia

# Or install globally
npm install -g @jaguilar87/gaia

The postinstall hook does everything automatically. To scan your project stack after install:

gaia scan

gaia install (run by postinstall) will:

1. Bootstrap the DB (~/.gaia/gaia.db) with the current schema
2. Create .claude/ directory with symlinks to this package
3. Merge hooks and permissions into settings.local.json (preserves existing user config)
4. Write plugin-registry.json
