Timovi

Assemble a digital product team inside your AI coding agent. One command, your entire product pipeline — Product Manager, UX Designer, Software Architect, Tech Lead, Engineers, QA, and more.

If Claude Code is a solo developer, Timovi is the whole product team.

Is Timovi right for you?

• ✅ You’re a solo founder or indie dev shipping side projects
• ✅ You use AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Pi, Codex, OpenCode) and they’re great — but something’s missing
• ✅ You start projects fast but finish them slowly — the last 20% takes 80% of the time
• ✅ You know UX matters, but there’s never enough time
• ✅ You’ve tried heavy orchestration tools (OpenClaw, Paperclip) and thought: “this is too complex, what’s the deliverable?”
• ✅ You want a lightweight, opinionated product team — not a generic agent framework

What Timovi gives you

All talking to each other, all sharing the same context about your project.

Every phase produces a concrete deliverable. You always know exactly what was done and what’s next.

Quick Start

1. Install

npx skills add theminimalcreator/timovi --skill timovi

Works with Pi, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and 60+ other agents.

2. Activate

Open your AI agent and type:

timovi

3. Bootstrap (5 minutes)

The orchestrator will ask a few questions about your project — name, stack, domain. It auto-detects your codebase, generates a knowledge base (domain language, architecture map, stack docs, conventions), and activates your team.

4. Start a feature

timovi → "new feature"

Pick a feature. The pipeline runs. You answer questions (one at a time), approve artifacts, and watch your team build.

5. Stay updated

When Timovi gets new features or fixes, update with one command:

npx skills update timovi

Symlink users (recommended during install) get updates instantly — npx skills update just runs git pull on the Timovi clone. Copy users get the latest files re-copied. Either way, your .product-team/ instance is never touched.

What makes Timovi different

Supported Agents

Timovi works with any agent supported by npx skills. Primary tested:

Under the Hood

Timovi is a meta-framework of agent skills — Markdown + JSON, no runtime, no servers.

skills/timovi/
├── SKILL.md                 ← Orchestrator (you are here)
├── references/
│   ├── bootstrap.md         ← First-run setup flow
│   ├── feature-pipeline.md  ← 5-phase development cycle
│   ├── state-schema.md      ← Persistent state format
│   └── role-skill-template.md
├── roles/                   ← 13 specialist agents
│   ├── product-manager/SKILL.md
│   ├── ux-designer/SKILL.md
│   └── ...
└── workflows/               ← Workflow templates
    ├── new-feature.md
    ├── bug-fix.md
    └── deploy.md

Runtime behavior:

• Every Role loads the Layer 0 (project knowledge base) before acting
• The orchestrator saves checkpoints after each phase — resume across sessions
• Issues are executed as a DAG with parallel rounds, respecting dependencies
• All project-specific data lives in .product-team/ — never touches the template

🖥️ Visual Dashboard

Want to see your team instead of just talking to it? The Timovi Dashboard is a full visual interface showing everything inside .product-team/:

• 📊 Kanban — Issues across Pipeline phases with status, roles, and dependencies
• 👥 Team — Role cards. Click any to open a side drawer with editable SKILL.md (Markdown editor + Preview) + role memories in accordion
• 🔀 Workflows — Interactive 3D graph of all 5 Timovi workflows (Pipeline, Bootstrap, New Feature, Bug Fix, Deploy). Expand each Phase to see internal step-by-step with step types (round, decision, gate, checkpoint)
• ⚙️ Config — Manage multiple projects, switch between them, edit paths, add/remove connections

Stack

• Frontend: React 18 + TypeScript + Shadcn UI + reagraph (3D graph)
• Backend: Express + JSON (micro-server with project CRUD API)
• Markdown: react-markdown for SKILL.md and memory rendering

Run

cd dashboard-ui
npm install
npm run dev    # starts API (port 3001) + frontend (port 5173)

Open http://localhost:5173 in your browser.

💡 The Dashboard is read-write for Config and Skills (you can edit Role SKILL.md files and save to disk). Kanban and Workflows are read-only — they show what’s happening, but all pipeline actions still happen via chat with the Orchestrator.

Inspirations

Projects and ideas that inspired Timovi:

• Reversa — A reverse-engineering framework that proved AI agents could systematically analyze and document existing codebases. Reversa showed that structured, phase-based agent workflows produce reliable results.
• Vercel Skills — The open agent skills ecosystem that made skill distribution trivial. Without npx skills, Timovi would be a manual install.
• Paperclip — Showed that “virtual product teams” were the right abstraction — just too heavy for solo founders. Timovi is the lightweight answer.
• Hermes Agent — Demonstrated that agent skills could self-improve. Timovi’s cross-examination pattern was inspired by Hermes’ learning loop.
• The solo founder experience — Every indie dev who juggles 5 side projects, never has time for UX, and wishes they had a team. Timovi exists because building alone shouldn’t mean building without structure.
