The composable plugins that give your agent its hands — so it can actually do the work.
Works with Claude Code + Antigravity — see compatibility
If AgentM is the brain, crickets is the toolbox of hands: thirteen small, composable plugins (capabilities, skills, hooks, and sub-agents) for the things an agent actually does — review a change, run a phased dev loop, build and maintain a wiki, sync a project board, watch token spend, and more. Each is a focused plugin you install into Claude Code or Antigravity. Add what you need, leave what you don't. Nothing else is required — crickets runs standalone.
AgentM remembers; crickets acts. No crickets plugin hard-links to AgentM — each one reaches for it through a small discovery bridge and skips gracefully when AgentM isn't installed, so crickets works alone and works smarter the moment AgentM is there too.
Crickets installs into Claude Code and Antigravity with one command. AgentM is its other half; for the full experience, set it up first, then add the crickets plugins.

The wiki covers everything there is to know about crickets. A few links to get you started.
- What it can do — the plugins and the tasks each one handles.
- Why it works this way — adversarial review, deterministic gates, phase-gating.
- Architecture — how crickets is built and composed.
- Reference — plugin anatomy, the manifest schema, and the install modes.
Note
Latest release: v5.1.0. One install keeps AI agents' Co-Authored-By trailers out of every repo on the machine: developer-safety's coauthor-guard sets a global git hook that strips them on every commit, from any tool, while each repo's own hooks keep running.
