Features

AgenticOS (this repository) is a curated library of AI playbooks for serious, long-running work in software engineering, game development, marketing, and operations. You install it once into Claude Code; from then on, your agent can follow proven workflows instead of improvising every task from scratch.

The product is not "more agents for the sake of agents." It is a harness — structure, guardrails, and reusable expertise wrapped around frontier models so you get predictable quality at lower token cost, especially across multi-step sessions where context compression would otherwise cause drift and rework. See NORTH_STAR.md for the design thesis.

What you get

Piece	What it is	How you use it
Skills (38)	Step-by-step playbooks for a kind of work — code review, Rust engineering, SEO ops, game balancing, etc.	Ask the agent to use a skill by name, or configure your IDE so skills are checked before every task (see Usage).
Agents (16)	Role definitions with a mandate and tool allowlist — engineer, security-reviewer, marketer, rust-engineer, etc.	Spawn explicitly ("use the code-reviewer agent") or let the orchestrator dispatch subagents for multi-step work.
Commands (3 ship to consumers)	Slash shortcuts — scaffold new skills/agents, record session facts.	/skill-new, /agent-new, /state.
Hooks	Small shell scripts that run on IDE events (session start, before shell, before compaction).	Installed and registered automatically; power the awareness harness. Disable by editing your global hook config.
Operating rules	Always-on doctrine for orchestration, memory, grounding, and review tiers.	Clone this repo into a project to use the flat CLAUDE.md (generated from .claude/rules/ by scripts/build-claude-md.sh). Not copied by the global installer.

Supported platform

• Claude Code — full install: skills, agents, hooks, and three consumer commands. Remote one-liner installs a pinned, SHA-256–verified release (install.sh / install.ps1).

Workflow domains

Skills and agents are grouped by the work they cover. Invoke the one that matches your task; shaper skills (prompt-shaper, marketing-shaper, game-design-shaper) turn vague requests into scoped briefs first.

Software engineering

• Full-stack implementation (engineer, devops-engineer)
• Language specialists: Rust (rust-engineer), TypeScript testing (frontend/backend), data pipelines and analytics
• Smart contracts and EVM development (web3-engineer, web3-smart-contract-engineering)
• CI/CD and deployment pipelines
• Planning and task breakdown for parallel subagent dispatch
• Release coordination across a monorepo
• Codebase cost estimation (LOC/complexity → build cost)
