# Architecture

System architecture for Claude Force multi-agent orchestration platform.

## Overview

Claude Force is built with a modular, layered architecture following SOLID principles for maintainability, security, and performance.

### Architecture Principles

1. **Separation of Concerns** - Clear boundaries between layers
2. **Security First** - Input validation, path protection, HMAC verification
3. **Performance Optimized** - Lazy loading, caching, async support
4. **Extensible** - Plugin marketplace, modular skills
5. **Production Ready** - Comprehensive error handling and logging

### Security Best Practices

```python
# Path validation
from claude_force import PathValidator

validator = PathValidator()
safe_path = validator.validate_path(user_input, base_dir)

# HMAC cache verification
from claude_force import ResponseCache

cache = ResponseCache()
response = cache.get(cache_key)  # Auto-verifies HMAC
if response and cache.verify_hmac(response):
    return response['data']
```

## Performance Optimizations

### 1. Lazy Initialization

Services loaded only when needed:

```python
class AgentOrchestrator:
    def __init__(self):
        self._cache = None      # Loaded on first use
        self._tracker = None    # Loaded on first use
        self._selector = None   # Loaded on first use
```

### 2. Response Caching

- HMAC-verified caching
- Configurable TTL
- 28,039x speedup achieved

### 3. Progressive Skills Loading

- Load only required skills
- 30-50% token reduction
- Keyword-based detection

### 4. Async Execution

- Parallel agent execution
- Rate limiting
- Resource management

### 5. Model Selection

- Automatic model selection
- Task complexity analysis
- 40-60% cost savings

## Extensibility

### 1. Plugin System

```bash
# Install marketplace plugins
claude-force marketplace install wshobson-devops-toolkit

# Import custom agents
claude-force import agent custom-agent.json
```

### 2. Custom Agents

```bash
# Create custom agent
claude-force create-agent \
  --name custom-reviewer \
  --domain code-quality,security
```

### 3. Custom Skills

```bash
# Add custom skill
claude-force create-skill \
  --name custom-skill \
  --description "Custom functionality"
```

### 4. Custom Workflows

```python
from claude_force import WorkflowComposer

composer = WorkflowComposer()
workflow = composer.compose_workflow(
    goal="Custom development workflow",
    agents=["architect", "developer", "tester"]
)
```

# Optional
export CLAUDE_FORCE_MODEL='claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022'
export CLAUDE_FORCE_MAX_TOKENS=4096
export CLAUDE_FORCE_TEMPERATURE=0.7
export CLAUDE_FORCE_CACHE_TTL=3600
export CLAUDE_FORCE_ENABLE_CACHE=true
```

### Configuration File

```json
{
  "version": "2.2.0",
  "governance": {
    "validation_mode": "strict",
    "require_contracts": true,
    "enable_analytics": true
  },
  "orchestration": {
    "auto_select_model": true,
    "enable_caching": true,

    result = orchestrator.run_agent(agent_name, task)
except AgentNotFoundError as e:
    # Suggest similar agents
    suggestions = get_similar_agents(agent_name)
    print(f"Agent not found. Did you mean: {suggestions}?")
except ValidationError as e:
    # Show validation details
    print(f"Validation failed: {e.details}")
except Exception as e:
    # Generic error handling
    logger.error(f"Unexpected error: {e}")
```
