Agent OS Framework

Generate standardized .agent-os structure for AI-native repository workflows.

Quick Start

# Generate full .agent-os structure
/agent-os-framework

# Generate for existing project
/agent-os-framework --update

# Generate specific component
/agent-os-framework --component mission

When to Use

USE when:

• Setting up new repository

• Generate specs/ structure
• Generate standards/
• Generate instructions/

Content Review:

• Update mission with actual project details
• Fill in tech-stack choices
• Define roadmap phases
• Document initial decisions

Best Practices

1. Keep mission current - Review quarterly
2. Document decisions promptly - When made, not later
3. Update roadmap status - Weekly or bi-weekly
4. Reference in CLAUDE.md - Link from root config
