🌍 Enable Amplifier's powerful AI agents and tools on any codebase, anywhere This major enhancement allows developers to harness Amplifier's 20+ specialized agents (zen-architect, bug-hunter, security-guardian, etc.) on any project without copying files or modifying existing repositories. ✨ New Features: - Global 'amplifier' command for system-wide access - Smart auto-detection of Amplifier installation location - Enhanced startup scripts with comprehensive error handling - Seamless integration with existing Claude workflows - Cross-platform compatibility (macOS, Linux, WSL) 🚀 Usage: make install-global # Install global command amplifier ~/my-project # Use Amplifier on any project amplifier --help # Show usage examples 📈 Benefits: - All 20+ specialized agents available on any codebase - Shared knowledge base across all projects - Same powerful automation and quality tools - Project isolation - changes only affect target project - No need to modify or copy files to existing projects 🔧 Implementation: - Enhanced amplifier-anywhere.sh with robust error handling - New bin/amplifier wrapper for global installation - Updated Makefile with install-global targets - Comprehensive documentation in README - Fixed Claude settings path resolution This democratizes access to Amplifier's AI development superpowers, making every codebase instantly compatible with the full Amplifier toolkit.
- Fix handling of Claude flags when no directory specified - Ensure --version flag works correctly without triggering full startup - Improve argument parsing logic to handle edge cases - Maintain backward compatibility with all usage patterns Tested scenarios: ✅ amplifier --version (shows version only) ✅ amplifier --print 'command' (uses current dir + Claude args) ✅ amplifier /path/to/project --model sonnet (explicit dir + args) ✅ amplifier /nonexistent/path (proper error handling) ✅ amplifier --help (shows help text)
- Modify .gitignore to permit bin/amplifier global command - Maintain exclusion of other build artifacts - Enable proper version control of global installation script
- Modified bin/amplifier to capture and pass the original PWD - Updated amplifier-anywhere.sh to use ORIGINAL_PWD when available - Fixes issue where 'amplifier' from any directory would default to amplifier repo instead of current dir

🌍 Global Amplifier Access
This PR introduces a comprehensive system for using Amplifier's specialized agents and tools on any project, anywhere on your system - not just within the Amplifier directory.
What's New
Global Command Installation
make install-globaltarget that installsamplifiercommand globallyUniversal Script System
amplifier-anywhere.sh- Core script for running Amplifier on any projectbin/amplifier- Global wrapper that finds your Amplifier installationEnhanced User Experience
Usage Examples
Key Benefits
✅ All 20+ specialized agents work on external projects
✅ Shared knowledge base - insights from one project help others
✅ Same powerful automation - quality checks, parallel development
✅ Project isolation - changes only affect your target project
✅ Works anywhere - no need to copy files or modify your projects
Files Changed
