An agentic software engineering (ASE) toolkit for Anthropic's Claude Code CLI has been released.

Details

ASE (Agentic Software Engineering), developed by Dr. Ralf S. Engelschall, is an open-source toolkit under the Apache-2.0 license that combines agentic AI coding with traditional software engineering methodologies.

The toolkit operates as a plugin for the Anthropic Claude Code CLI and includes the following core components:

  • Agent hooks and parameterizable agent skills
  • An architecture based on Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) services
  • A dedicated command-line interface (CLI)

Going beyond simple code generation, ASE provides a variety of features that automate the repetitive daily tasks of software architects and developers, including idea brainstorming, web search, leveraging external LLMs, component exploration, code refactoring, reviewing changes, and generating release notes.
