See it work

AgentOps breaks intent into bounded slices, gives each a failing test and a write scope, and makes every phase boundary a gate that records evidence. The agent starts loaded with prior decisions and learnings instead of cold:

> /council --mixed validate this PR

[council] evidence sealed → 6 judges across Claude Code + Codex CLI
[claude/judge-1] WARN  rate limiting missing on /login
[codex/judge-1]  WARN  token bucket lacks jitter under burst
[claude/judge-2] PASS  redis integration follows pattern
Consensus: WARN, fix /login limit + refill jitter before shipping
Recorded → .agents/council/<run-id>/verdict.md

What you get

The center is validation: prove the agent output, keep the proof, and use that record to decide how much autonomy the next run earns. The supporting layers all stay local in .agents/ (no telemetry, no hosted control plane):

Layer	The problem	What AgentOps adds
Validation membrane	agent output can look correct while being wrong	tests, local gates, /pre-mortem, /vibe, /council, and pawl verdicts prove or reject the work
Evidence trail	"looks good" does not survive handoff	.agents/ captures runs, decisions, findings, citations, verdicts, retros, and closeout proof
Context compiler	validators and implementers start cold	ao context assemble builds phase-scoped packets; ao lookup retrieves decay-ranked knowledge
Knowledge ratchet	lessons vanish between sessions	/forge mines learnings, /evolve reconciles, and durable lessons become constraints before more autonomy is granted

The corpus is an LLM wiki of markdown. Agents read it natively and write to it as they work, so it maintains itself instead of becoming another doc you keep up by hand. Public citations of measurable flywheel or corpus outcomes use promoted artifacts under docs/evidence/ (e.g. 2026-04-02 flywheel case study); .agents/ remains the local operating substrate. Why that beats Notion or Confluence: docs/wiki-for-agents.md. The full theory (context as the lifecycle, the CDLC): docs/cdlc.md.

Install

Pick your runtime, then type /quickstart in the agent.

# Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add boshu2/agentops
claude plugin install agentops@agentops-marketplace

# Codex CLI (macOS/Linux/WSL).  OpenCode: install-opencode.sh
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boshu2/agentops/main/scripts/install-codex.sh | bash
# Codex CLI (Windows):
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boshu2/agentops/main/scripts/install-codex.ps1 | iex

# Gemini / Antigravity
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boshu2/agentops/main/scripts/install-agy.sh | bash

# Other skills-compatible agents
npx skills@latest add boshu2/agentops --cursor -g

The ao CLI is optional but recommended (bookkeeping, retrieval, health, the loops):

brew tap boshu2/agentops https://github.com/boshu2/homebrew-agentops && brew install agentops   # macOS
# Windows: irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boshu2/agentops/main/scripts/install-ao.ps1 | iex
# Or release binaries / build from source (cli/README.md).

Installs hookless: skills and the ao CLI guide the workflow, and the local cockpit gate is the release authority. GitHub Actions are an optional/manual backstop, not the routine shipping path. The only hard requirement is an agent runtime and git; everything else degrades gracefully. Full dependency matrix: docs/dependencies.md. Day-2 install, update, backup, permission, recovery, and escalation paths are in docs/install-day2-ops.md.
