SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Refresh the latest schema for the active agent, compare it against the installed config, and produce an implementation plan for new features to adopt or deprecated settings to remove. Use when asked to review schema updates, upgrade settings, leverage new schema features, deprecate old settings, or turn schema drift into an actionable implementation plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Compare the active agent schema with your current config to identify drift.
  • Generate an actionable upgrade plan, including adopt-now, deprecate/remove, and investigate-later items.
  • Provide precise file-level guidance and smallest safe steps to implement changes in your environment.

Quick Start

Ask Agent Smith to compare the latest schema with your installed config and output an actionable upgrade plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn agent schema drift into an actionable upgrade plan?

To turn agent schema drift into an upgrade plan, compare the latest agent schema against your installed configuration to identify new features and deprecated settings. This generates an ordered, implementation-focused plan with exact files, affected keys, and safe steps.

What is schema drift and when do I need to check my agent configuration?

Schema drift occurs when your installed agent configuration diverges from the latest agent schema. You need to check for drift when upgrading settings, leveraging new schema features, or deprecating old settings to ensure your configuration remains current and compatible.

How do I generate an upgrade plan for deprecated config settings?

Generate an upgrade plan for deprecated config settings by analyzing the active agent schema and comparing it to your installed configuration. The resulting plan categorizes outdated keys into deprecate/remove and investigate-later buckets with specific file-level guidance.

Does the schema upgrade analysis support configurations across different agent families?

Yes, the schema upgrade analysis supports different agent families. The comparison is explicitly scoped to the initiating agent family, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Pi, ensuring the upgrade plan targets the correct environment.

What is the best way to identify the smallest safe steps for adopting new schema features?

The best way to identify safe steps for adopting new schema features is to compare your active agent schema with your current config. The analysis outputs precise file-level guidance and the smallest safe implementation steps categorized as adopt now.
