## AI-Rig: A Professional AI Programming Assistant Configuration System for Python/ML Open-Source Projects

This post introduces AI-Rig, a specialized configuration system designed for Python and machine learning open-source projects. It features 12 professional agents, over 20 workflow skills, and a collaborative integration scheme for Claude Code and Codex CLI. Unlike general AI assistants, AI-Rig adopts a "professional agents for professional tasks" philosophy, building a team of domain-expert agents to handle complex development workflows, aiming to enhance efficiency and code quality for open-source maintainers and ML researchers.

## Project Background and Core Philosophy

General AI assistants often lack depth in professional domain tasks. AI-Rig was created to address this gap—it's a carefully designed system optimized for Python/ML open-source development. Its core philosophy: "Professional problems require professional agents." Instead of a single general assistant, it constructs a team of domain experts, each focusing on their area of expertise to collaborate on complex workflows.

## Architecture: Four-Layer Plugin System

AI-Rig uses a modular plugin architecture with four core layers:
1. **Foundry (Base Layer):** Foundation with 8 basic agents (doc-scribe, linting-expert, perf-optimizer, etc.) and core skills.
2. **OSS (Open-Source Workflow Layer):** For maintainers, offering governance workflows like issue classification, PR review, and CI management.
3. **Develop (Development Layer):** For daily tasks, supporting TDD-based workflows (feature dev, bug fixes, refactoring, debugging, planning).
4. **Research (Research Layer):** For ML research, providing experiment-driven workflows (paper analysis, dataset management).

## Skill System: Multi-Agent Collaboration Workflows

AI-Rig's core innovation is its "Skill" system—skills are complete workflows defining multi-agent collaboration (participants, execution order, info transfer). Examples:
- **Code Review Skill (/oss:review):** 7-agent layered process (Tier0: script diff stats, Tier1: Codex pre-review, Tier2: Claude deep analysis).
- **Feature Dev Skill (/develop:feature):** Strict TDD flow (codebase analysis → demo test → red-green-refactor → docs update → quality review).
Skills support chained calls (e.g., problem analysis → fix → validation; performance investigation → optimization → refactoring).

## Claude Code & Codex CLI Synergy

AI-Rig integrates Claude Code and Codex CLI with clear division:
- **Claude Code:** Long-cycle reasoning, workflow orchestration, decision-making.
- **Codex CLI:** Focused mechanical code tasks (direct shell operations).
Three-tier review pipeline: Tier0 (script, sec-level stats), Tier1 (Codex, ~60s diff review), Tier2 (Claude agents, minute-level deep analysis). Claude delegates mechanical tasks to Codex (conflict resolution, applying review comments, batch refactoring). A real case showed combined perspectives are more comprehensive (Claude's style unification + Codex's blind spot detection).

## Practical Application Scenarios

AI-Rig delivers value for key scenarios:
1. **Open-Source Maintainers:** Streamlines tasks like issue classification (`/oss:analyse`), PR review (`/oss:review`), bug fixes (`/develop:fix`), and version releases (`/oss:release`).
2. **ML Researchers:** Supports experiment workflows (literature research `/research:topic`, experiment planning `/research:plan`, automated runs `/research:run`).

## Future Directions & Conclusion

Future plans: 1) Agent self-improvement (via `/distill`/`/calibrate`), 2) Memory management (clean outdated entries), 3) MCP server integration (OpenSpace for skill evolution, colab-mcp for GPU workloads), 4) Token optimization (RTK tool for shell output compression).

Conclusion: AI-Rig is a well-designed agent ecosystem, not just prompts. It elevates AI assistants from chat tools to collaborative partners, maximizing human-AI efficiency for Python/ML open-source projects.
