amp-contrib

This repository contains unofficial
slash commands and
toolbox tools that are not built-in to
the Amp agentic coding tool.

Slash commands

Slash commands allow allow you to insert pre-defined or dynamically-generated
text into the prompt input.

They are defined in a repository's .agents/commands directory and can be
markdown files or use Amp's experimental
support for executable scripts, which begin with, for example #!/usr/bin/env bash

Amp Toolbox Templates

Templates for creating custom tools that extend Amp. See the Amp Owner's Manual for complete documentation.

Quick Start

1. Set up your toolbox directory:

   export AMP_TOOLBOX=/path/to/your/toolbox
   mkdir -p $AMP_TOOLBOX

2. Copy and customize a template:

   cp tool-template.js $AMP_TOOLBOX/my-custom-tool
   chmod +x $AMP_TOOLBOX/my-custom-tool

3. Edit the template:

   • Update name and description
   • Modify parameters and logic

Available Templates

Basic Templates

• tool-template.js - Node.js with simple key-value parameters
• tool-template.py - Python with simple key-value parameters
• tool-template.sh - Bash with simple key-value parameters
• tool-template-json.js - Node.js with JSON schema for complex parameters

Testing Toolbox Implementations

Test the describe action:

# JavaScript template
TOOLBOX_ACTION=describe ./tool-template.js

# Python template  
TOOLBOX_ACTION=describe ./tool-template.py

# Bash template
TOOLBOX_ACTION=describe ./tool-template.sh

# JSON schema template
TOOLBOX_ACTION=describe ./tool-template-json.js

Test the execute action:

# Simple templates (external service integration)
echo "text: hello world" | TOOLBOX_ACTION=execute ./tool-template.js
echo "text: hello world" | TOOLBOX_ACTION=execute ./tool-template.py  
echo "text: hello world" | TOOLBOX_ACTION=execute ./tool-template.sh

# JSON template (complex data to external service)
echo '{"files": ["test.txt", "data.csv"], "options": {"verbose": true, "format": "json", "priority": 8}}' | TOOLBOX_ACTION=execute ./tool-template-json.js
