## ๐Ÿš€ What's New in v5.0

### Git Repository Integration for Agents & Skills

Claude MPM now supports **Git repositories** for distributing and managing agents and skills - the most requested feature from our community!

**๐ŸŽฏ Key Highlights:**
- **๐Ÿ“ฆ Massive Library**: 47+ agents and hundreds of skills deployed automatically from curated repositories
- **๐Ÿข Official Content**: Anthropic's official skills repository included by default
- **๐Ÿ”ง Fully Extensible**: Add your own agent/skill repositories with immediate testing
- **๐ŸŒณ Smart Organization**: Hierarchical BASE-AGENT.md inheritance for shared templates
- **๐Ÿ“Š Clear Visibility**: Two-phase progress bars show sync and deployment status
- **โœ… Fail-Fast Testing**: Test repositories before they cause startup issues

#### Quick Start: Add Your Own Repository

```bash
# Add custom agent repository (with immediate testing)
claude-mpm agent-source add https://github.com/yourorg/your-agents

# Add custom skill repository
claude-mpm skill-source add https://github.com/yourorg/your-skills

# Test repository without saving
claude-mpm agent-source add https://github.com/yourorg/your-agents --test

# List all configured sources
claude-mpm agent-source list
```

#### Default Repositories

**Agents** (47+ agents):
- ๐Ÿข System: `bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-agents` - Core agent templates

**Skills** (hundreds of skills):
- ๐Ÿข System: `bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills` - Community skills
- ๐ŸŽฏ Official: `anthropics/skills` - Anthropic's official skills (14+ skills)

**What This Means:**
- โœ… **Automatic Setup**: Everything deploys on first run
- โœ… **Always Updated**: Git repositories sync on startup
- โœ… **Nested Support**: Repositories with subdirectories are automatically flattened
- โœ… **Template Inheritance**: BASE-AGENT.md files cascade from parent directories

#### Hierarchical Organization Example

Support for BASE-AGENT.md enables powerful template inheritance:

```
your-agents/
  BASE-AGENT.md              # Root shared content (all agents inherit)
  engineering/
    BASE-AGENT.md            # Engineering-specific (engineering/* agents inherit)
    python/
      fastapi-engineer.md    # Inherits both BASE files
```

**That's it!** See [docs/user/getting-started.md](docs/user/getting-started.md) for immediate usage.

## Cache Management

Claude MPM maintains a local cache of agent templates at `~/.claude-mpm/cache/remote-agents/`.

### Cache Structure

```
~/.claude-mpm/cache/remote-agents/
โ””โ”€โ”€ bobmatnyc/
    โ””โ”€โ”€ claude-mpm-agents/
        โ”œโ”€โ”€ .git/              # Git repository
        โ”œโ”€โ”€ agents/            # 45+ agent templates
        โ””โ”€โ”€ docs/
```

### Git Workflow (Optional)

If your cache is a git repository, you can manage agents with git operations:

```bash
# Check cache status
claude-mpm agents cache-status

# Pull latest agents
claude-mpm agents cache-pull

# Commit local changes
claude-mpm agents cache-commit --message "feat: update agents"

# Push changes
claude-mpm agents cache-push

# Full sync workflow
claude-mpm agents cache-sync
```

**Or use Makefile targets:**

```bash
make agents-cache-status   # Show git status
make agents-cache-pull     # Pull latest
make agents-cache-sync     # Full sync (pull + commit + push)
make deploy-agents         # Deploy with auto-pull
```

### HTTP Sync Fallback

If cache is not a git repository, Claude MPM automatically falls back to HTTP sync with GitHub API.

### Migration from Legacy Cache

If you have an old `cache/agents/` directory, run the migration script:

```bash
python scripts/migrate_cache_to_remote_agents.py
```

**See also:** [docs/CACHE_MANAGEMENT.md](docs/CACHE_MANAGEMENT.md) for comprehensive cache management guide.

## Quick Usage

```bash
# Start interactive mode (recommended)
claude-mpm

# Start with monitoring dashboard
claude-mpm run --monitor

# Use semantic code search (auto-installs mcp-vector-search on first use)
claude-mpm search "authentication logic"
# or inside Claude Code session:
/mpm-search "authentication logic"

# Use MCP Gateway for external tool integration
claude-mpm mcp

# Run comprehensive health diagnostics
claude-mpm doctor

# Generate detailed diagnostic report with MCP service analysis
claude-mpm doctor --verbose --output-file doctor-report.md

# Run specific diagnostic checks including MCP services
claude-mpm doctor --checks installation configuration agents mcp

# Check MCP service status specifically
claude-mpm doctor --checks mcp --verbose

# Verify MCP services installation and configuration
claude-mpm verify

# Auto-fix MCP service issues
claude-mpm verify --fix

# Verify specific service
claude-mpm verify --service kuzu-memory

# Get JSON output for automation
claude-mpm verify --json

claude-mpm cleanup-memory

# Check for updates (including Claude Code compatibility)
claude-mpm doctor --checks updates
```

**๐Ÿ’ก Update Checking**: Claude MPM automatically checks for updates and verifies Claude Code compatibility on startup. Configure in `~/.claude-mpm/configuration.yaml` or see [docs/update-checking.md](docs/update-checking.md).

See [docs/user/getting-started.md](docs/user/getting-started.md) for complete usage examples.

## Managing Agent & Skill Repositories

Claude MPM uses **Git repositories** to distribute and manage agents and skills. This provides automatic updates, version control, and easy sharing of agent/skill libraries.

### Quick Start

```bash
# Add custom agent repository
claude-mpm agent-source add https://github.com/yourorg/your-agents

# Add custom skill repository
claude-mpm skill-source add https://github.com/yourorg/your-skills

# Test repository without saving (fail-fast validation)
claude-mpm agent-source add https://github.com/yourorg/your-agents --test

# List configured sources
claude-mpm agent-source list
claude-mpm skill-source list

# Update from all sources
claude-mpm agent-source update
claude-mpm skill-source update
```

### Priority System

When multiple sources provide the same agent/skill, priority controls which one wins:

- **Lower number = Higher precedence** (priority 10 beats priority 100)
- **Local agents/skills** (`.claude-mpm/agents/`, `.claude-mpm/skills/`) always override
- **System defaults** provide fallback

**Example Configuration:**

```yaml
# ~/.claude-mpm/config/agent_sources.yaml
repositories:
  - url: https://github.com/myteam/agents
    priority: 10    # Highest precedence (custom agents)

  - url: https://github.com/bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-agents
    priority: 100   # System default (official agents)
```

### Hierarchical Organization with BASE-AGENT.md

Support for BASE-AGENT.md enables powerful template inheritance:

```
your-agents/
  BASE-AGENT.md              # Root shared content (all agents inherit)
  engineering/
    BASE-AGENT.md            # Engineering-specific (engineering/* inherit)
    python/
      fastapi-engineer.md    # Inherits both BASE files
      django-engineer.md     # Inherits both BASE files
    rust/
      systems-engineer.md    # Inherits both BASE files
```

**How It Works:**
1. **Cascading Inheritance**: Each agent inherits from all BASE-AGENT.md files in parent directories
2. **Automatic Flattening**: Nested repositories are automatically flattened during deployment
3. **DRY Templates**: Share common instructions across related agents
4. **Maintainability**: Update shared content in one place

See [docs/features/hierarchical-base-agents.md](docs/features/hierarchical-base-agents.md) for complete guide.

### Configuration via YAML

Edit configuration files directly:
- **Agents**: `~/.claude-mpm/config/agent_sources.yaml`
- **Skills**: `~/.claude-mpm/config/skill_sources.yaml`

**Example agent_sources.yaml:**

```yaml
repositories:
  - url: https://github.com/bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-agents
    priority: 100
    enabled: true

  - url: https://github.com/yourorg/custom-agents
    priority: 10
    enabled: true
```

### Benefits

โœ… **Always Up-to-Date**: Repositories sync automatically on startup
โœ… **Bandwidth Efficient**: ETag-based caching reduces network usage by 95%+
โœ… **Version Control**: Track changes through Git history
โœ… **Immediate Testing**: Fail-fast validation prevents startup issues
โœ… **Nested Support**: Automatic flattening of directory structures
โœ… **Template Inheritance**: BASE-AGENT.md for DRY principles
โœ… **Progress Visibility**: Two-phase progress bars (sync + deployment)
โœ… **Community Access**: Latest improvements available immediately
โœ… **Organization Libraries**: Share team-specific content across projects

claude-mpm skill-source add https://github.com/yourorg/custom-skills

# List configured skill sources
claude-mpm skill-source list

# Update skills from all sources
claude-mpm skill-source update
```

### How Skills Work

1. **Automatic Deployment**: All skills from configured repositories deploy on startup
2. **Three-Tier Organization**:
   - **Bundled**: System and official skills (hundreds)
   - **User**: Custom skills in `~/.config/claude-mpm/skills/`
   - **Project**: Project-specific skills in `.claude-mpm/skills/`
3. **Priority Resolution**: Project โ†’ User โ†’ Bundled (local always wins)
4. **Auto-Linking**: Skills automatically linked to relevant agents
5. **Version Tracking**: All skills support semantic versioning

### Technology โ†’ Skills Mapping

The Research agent automatically analyzes your project and recommends relevant skills:
