# Agentic OS

Treat Claude Code as a persistent runtime / operating system rather than a chat session. This skill codifies the architecture used by production agentic setups: a kernel config that routes tasks to specialist agents, persistent file-based memory, scheduled automation, and a JSON/markdown data layer.

## When to Activate

- Building a multi-agent workflow inside Claude Code
- Setting up persistent Claude Code automation that survives session restarts
- Creating a "personal OS" or "agentic OS" for recurring tasks
- User says "agentic OS", "personal OS", "multi-agent", "agent coordinator", "persistent agent"
- Structuring long-running projects where context must survive across sessions

## Architecture Overview

The Agentic OS has four layers. Each layer is a directory in your project root.

```
project-root/
├── CLAUDE.md          # Kernel: identity, routing rules, agent registry
├── agents/            # Specialist agent definitions (markdown prompts)
├── .claude/commands/  # Slash commands: user-facing CLI
├── scripts/           # Daemon scripts: scheduled or event-driven tasks
└── data/              # State: JSON/markdown filesystem, no external DB
```

### Layer Responsibilities

| Layer | Purpose | Persistence |
|---|---|---|
| Kernel (`CLAUDE.md`) | Identity, routing, model policies, agent registry | Git-tracked |
| Agents (`agents/`) | Specialist identities with scoped tools and memory | Git-tracked |
| Commands (`.claude/commands/`) | User-facing slash commands (`/daily-sync`, `/outreach`) | Git-tracked |
| Scripts (`scripts/`) | Python/JS daemons triggered by cron or webhooks | Git-tracked |
| State (`data/`) | Append-only logs, project state, decision records | Git-ignored or tracked |

## The Kernel

`CLAUDE.md` is the kernel. It acts as the COO / orchestrator. Claude reads it at session start and uses it to route work.

### Kernel Structure

```markdown
# CLAUDE.md - Agentic OS Kernel

## Identity
You are the COO of [project-name]. You route tasks to specialist agents.
You never write code directly. You delegate to the right agent and synthesize results.

## Agent Registry

| Agent | Role | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| @dev | Code, architecture, debugging | User says "build", "fix", "refactor" |
| @writer | Documentation, content, emails | User says "write", "draft", "blog" |
| @researcher | Research, analysis, fact-checking | User says "research", "analyze", "compare" |
| @ops | DevOps, deployment, infrastructure | User says "deploy", "CI", "server" |

## Routing Rules
1. Parse the user request for intent keywords
2. Match to the Agent Registry trigger column
3. Load the corresponding agent file from `agents/<name>.md`
4. Hand off execution with full context
5. Synthesize and present the result back to the user

## Model Policies
- Default model: use the repository or harness default.
- @dev tasks: prefer a higher-reasoning model for complex architecture.
- @researcher tasks: use the configured research-capable model and approved search tools.
- Cost ceiling: warn before exceeding the project's configured spend threshold.
```

### Key Principle

The kernel should be **small and declarative**. Routing logic lives in plain markdown tables, not code. This makes the system inspectable and editable without debugging.

## Specialist Agents

Each agent is a standalone markdown file in `agents/`. Claude loads the relevant agent file when routing a task.

### Agent Definition Format

```markdown
# @dev - Software Engineer

## Identity
You are a senior software engineer. You write clean, tested, production-grade code.
You prefer simple solutions. You ask clarifying questions when requirements are ambiguous.

## Memory Scope
- Read `data/projects/<current-project>.md` for context
- Read `data/decisions/` for architectural decisions
- Append execution logs to `data/logs/<date>-@dev.md`

## Tool Access
- Full filesystem access within project root
- Git operations (status, diff, commit, branch)
- Test runner access
- MCP servers as configured in `.claude/mcp.json`

## Constraints
- Always write tests for new features
- Never commit directly to `main`; use feature branches
- Prefer editing existing files over creating new ones
- Keep functions under 50 lines when possible
```

### Multi-Agent Collaboration Pattern

When a task spans multiple agents, the kernel runs them sequentially or in parallel:

```
User: "Build a landing page and write the launch blog post"

Kernel routing:
1. @dev - "Build a landing page with [requirements]"
2. @writer - "Write a launch blog post for [product] using the landing page copy"
3. Kernel synthesizes both outputs into a unified response
