Task: Specialized Agent System Design

Description

Design and implement specialized agents for security auditing, performance optimization, and accessibility checking. These agents will integrate with the existing /oden:work orchestration system and provide detailed reports with actionable recommendations.

Functional Requirements

• Security Agent: Audit code for common vulnerabilities and security best practices
• Performance Agent: Analyze code for performance bottlenecks and optimization opportunities
• Accessibility Agent: Check UI components for WCAG compliance and accessibility issues
• SEO Agent: Review content and structure for search engine optimization
• Quality Agent: General code quality metrics and improvement suggestions

Technical Implementation

Files to Create:

• lib/agents/specialized/security-agent.js - Security vulnerability scanning
• lib/agents/specialized/performance-agent.js - Performance analysis and recommendations
• lib/agents/specialized/accessibility-agent.js - A11y compliance checking
• lib/agents/specialized/seo-agent.js - SEO analysis and suggestions
• lib/agents/specialized/quality-agent.js - Code quality metrics
• lib/agents/specialized/base-agent.js - Base class for all specialized agents
• lib/pipeline/agent-coordinator.js - Agent orchestration and reporting

Acceptance Criteria

Security Agent:

• Scans for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
• Checks for hardcoded secrets and credentials
• Validates input sanitization and SQL injection prevention
• Reviews authentication and authorization implementation
• Examines HTTPS usage and security headers
• Identifies potential XSS and CSRF vulnerabilities
• Provides remediation suggestions with code examples

Performance Agent:

• Analyzes bundle size and identifies optimization opportunities
• Reviews database queries for N+1 problems and inefficiencies
• Examines component rendering patterns for unnecessary re-renders
• Checks for memory leaks and resource management issues
• Reviews caching strategies and implementation
• Suggests performance improvements with impact estimates
• Benchmarks critical paths and provides timing analysis

Accessibility Agent:

• Validates semantic HTML structure and ARIA labels
• Checks color contrast ratios for WCAG compliance
• Reviews keyboard navigation and focus management
• Examines screen reader compatibility
• Validates form labels and error messaging accessibility
• Checks for missing alt text and image descriptions
• Provides specific WCAG guideline references for violations

SEO Agent:

• Analyzes meta tags and structured data implementation
• Reviews URL structure and internal linking
• Checks for proper heading hierarchy (h1, h2, h3, etc.)
• Examines page load performance impact on SEO
• Validates sitemap and robots.txt configuration
• Reviews content structure for search engine optimization
• Suggests improvements for Core Web Vitals metrics

Quality Agent:

• Measures code complexity and maintainability metrics
• Reviews code style consistency and best practices
• Analyzes test coverage and quality
• Examines dependency health and security
• Reviews documentation completeness
• Checks for code duplication and refactoring opportunities
• Provides overall project health score and trends

Integration Features:

• Seamless integration with existing /oden:work orchestration
• Configurable agent selection and execution order
• Detailed reporting with actionable recommendations
• Progress tracking and real-time feedback
• Historical analysis and trend reporting

Dependencies

• Internal: Task 1 (Bug diagnosis system for context), existing agent orchestration
• External: Static analysis tools (ESLint, Lighthouse, axe-core), Node.js APIs
• Integration: Existing /oden:work command infrastructure

Implementation Notes

Agent Architecture:

class BaseSpecializedAgent {
  constructor(config) {
    this.config = config;
    this.results = [];
  }

  async analyze(project) {
    // Base analysis framework
  }

  async generateReport() {
    // Standardized reporting format
  }

  async getSuggestions() {
    // Actionable recommendations
  }
}

Report Structure:

{
  "agent": "security",
  "timestamp": "2026-02-18T20:37:25Z",
  "summary": {
    "score": 85,
    "issues_found": 3,
    "critical_issues": 1,
    "recommendations": 5
  },
  "findings": [
    {
      "severity": "high",
      "category": "authentication",
      "file": "src/auth/login.js",
      "line": 42,
      "description": "Hardcoded API key detected",
      "recommendation": "Move API keys to environment variables",
      "fix_suggestion": "process.env.API_KEY"
    }
  ]
}

Tool Integration:

• Security: Semgrep, ESLint security plugin, npm audit
• Performance: Lighthouse, Bundle Analyzer, Clinic.js
• Accessibility: axe-core, Pa11y, Lighthouse accessibility audit
• SEO: Lighthouse SEO audit, Meta tag analyzer
• Quality: ESLint, SonarJS, complexity analysis tools

Risks

• High: False positives might overwhelm developers with irrelevant issues
• Medium: Analysis might be too slow for large codebases
• Medium: Tool integration complexity could cause reliability issues

Mitigation Strategies

• Implement confidence scoring to prioritize real issues
• Optimize analysis performance with incremental and parallel processing
• Provide clear filtering and customization options
• Extensive testing with various project types and sizes
• Graceful degradation when external tools are unavailable
