The automotive engineer's AI-powered command center for Claude Code
Quick Start | Why This Exists | What's Inside | Domains | Contributing
Automotive software engineering is one of the most complex and regulated domains in the world. Engineers juggle ISO 26262 functional safety, AUTOSAR architectures, MISRA compliance, cybersecurity standards, and real-time embedded constraints -- all while shipping on aggressive timelines.
Automotive Claude Code Agents turns Claude Code into a domain-expert copilot that understands the automotive stack from silicon to cloud. Instead of spending hours looking up ASIL decomposition rules or AUTOSAR naming conventions, you get instant, standards-compliant guidance woven directly into your development workflow.
One install. Zero config. Your existing workspace stays untouched.
Before: "How do I structure an FMEA for this BMS module?" -> 2 hours of research
After: claude "Generate FMEA for overcurrent protection in ASIL-D BMS" -> 2 minutes
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/theja0473/automotive-claude-code-agents.git
cd automotive-claude-code-agents
# 2. Preview what will be installed (no changes made)
./install.sh --dry-run
# 3. Install into your existing ~/.claude workspace
./install.sh
# 4. Start using it immediately
claude "Help me design an AUTOSAR Adaptive service for camera fusion"That's it. Your existing Claude Code workspace (settings, agents, hooks) is never modified. All automotive content is namespaced with an automotive- prefix and tracked in a manifest for clean removal.
# Check what's installed
./install.sh --status
# Clean removal (only removes automotive components)
./install.sh --uninstall# Use an automotive agent
claude "Using automotive-adas-perception-engineer, design a LiDAR point cloud pipeline"
# Run an automotive command
/automotive adas-camera-calibrate
# Get safety guidance
claude "Review this C function for ISO 26262 ASIL-D compliance"
# Generate AUTOSAR artifacts

The installer generates ~/.claude/automotive-settings-snippet.json with recommended hooks for MISRA checking, safety review prompts, and secret scanning. To activate:
# Option 1: Let Claude merge it for you
claude "Merge automotive-settings-snippet.json into my settings.json"
# Option 2: Review and manually copy desired hooks
cat ~/.claude/automotive-settings-snippet.jsonThis step is entirely optional. All skills, agents, and commands work without it.
# Run all tests
pytest tests/ -v
# Lint Python code
ruff check tools/ scripts/
# Generate coverage report
pytest --cov=tools --cov-report=html tests/
# Validate skill/agent YAML structure
python -m pytest tests/test_skills.py tests/test_agents.pySee ROADMAP.md for the full development plan. Highlights:
- Simulink/MATLAB model integration skills
