How do I install humanlayer?

Run these in Claude Code: . Then prompt normally.

Does humanlayer auto-invoke its skills?

Not yet. It is indexed on Flowy as a plain plugin. Request auto-invocation on its page and Flowy will route its skills for you as you prompt.

Yes. Flowy is free and open source, with nothing gated. You can read every skill in full before you install.

Agents

codebase-analyzerAnalyzes codebase implementation details. Call the codebase-analyzer agent when you need to find detailed information about specific components. As always, the more detailed your request prompt, the better! :)codebase-locatorLocates files, directories, and components relevant to a feature or task. Call `codebase-locator` with human language prompt describing what you're looking for. Basically a "Super Grep/Glob/LS tool" — Use it if you find yourself desiring to use one of these tools more than once.codebase-pattern-findercodebase-pattern-finder is a useful subagent_type for finding similar implementations, usage examples, or existing patterns that can be modeled after. It will give you concrete code examples based on what you're looking for! It's sorta like codebase-locator, but it will not only thoughts-analyzerThe research equivalent of codebase-analyzer. Use this subagent_type when wanting to deep dive on a research topic. Not commonly needed otherwise.thoughts-locatorDiscovers relevant documents in thoughts/ directory (We use this for all sorts of metadata storage!). This is really only relevant/needed when you're in a reseaching mood and need to figure out if we have random thoughts written down that are relevant to your current research web-search-researcherDo you find yourself desiring information that you don't quite feel well-trained (confident) on? Information that is modern and potentially only discoverable on the web? Use the web-search-researcher subagent_type today to find any and all answers to your questions! It will
