agentic-os

The Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC) harness: a clonable workspace for multi-worktree, multi-agent development that lands work on a canonical branch. Node.js 20.11+, Git, npm; zero runtime dependencies.

This page is the repository entry point and routes to owners. It defines no requirement, design, or decision of its own — each one lives with the owner named below.

Install and verify

git clone https://github.com/huijoohwee/agentic-os.git
cd agentic-os
npm install
npm run setup     # select packaged hooks; refuses to clobber an existing hook manager
npm run doctor    # report harness and remote drift, change nothing
npm run check     # affected behavior and packaging, plus readiness, doc and module budgets

Commit the repository’s .agentic-os.json profile before any repository-bound command. Forking under a different owner starts at the fork guide.

Daily loop

npm run release:common --help                                  # the full operator flow
npm run release:common -- start  --write=
npm run release:common -- publish --message="feat: ..."
npm run release:common -- complete --ref=               # wait for merge and report source closeout; keep the lane mounted
npm run release:common -- complete --ref= --bundle= --stopped

complete reports source integration and closeout while retaining the lane. Cleanup is a separate, explicit action: pass the exact authenticated cleanup bundle with --bundle and acknowledge stopped writers with --stopped. Profile settings alone never trigger lane quarantine.

npm run status, npm run reap, and agentic-os completion status --ref= are the read-only diagnostics. START-WORKFLOW, RELEASE-WORKFLOW, and the deploy workflow route the universal lifecycle grammar that the ADLC guidelines own; cleanup is globally required but repo-local in mechanics inside those stages. The user cookbook owns the smallest path for a direct edit.
