What is Agent OS?

Agent OS is a spec-driven development system that gives AI agents the structured context they need to write production-quality code. It provides your AI with clear specifications, standards, and workflows—transforming inconsistent outputs into reliable, production-ready implementations.

How it works

Agent OS uses a 3-layer context system:

  1. Standards - How you build (your coding standards that train your AI agents)
  2. Product - What you're building and why (vision and roadmap and use-cases)
  3. Specs - What you're building next (specific features with implementation details)

Works with any AI coding tool

Agent OS adapts to your preferred AI coding tool through flexible configuration options:

  • Claude Code - Use Agent OS with Claude Code commands and optionally delegate to subagents for advanced orchestration
  • Other tools (Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Windsurf, etc.) - Use Agent OS commands as sequential prompts in any AI coding tool
