Overview

A roughly 2,950-line (about 23,000-token) prompt you paste into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or a similar agent. It tells the agent to inspect the workspace, write file-based project state (AGENTS.md, plan.md, tasks.md, knowledge.md, FAILURE.md), and prove one closed loop of goal, task graph, verification and memory update before adding workers, evals and a self-improvement loop. It can wrap an existing agent or build on an agent SDK.

Who it is for: Claude Code, Codex or Cursor users wanting a persistent agent setup

Strengths

  • Plain text with no tool-specific syntax; works with any agent that can read and write files
  • Requires a verified closed-loop first milestone rather than an architecture essay
  • State lives in plain project files, so work can continue from the folder alone
  • README documents trimming, customizing, and a terminal copy command

Weaknesses

  • About 111,000 characters; Codex's default 32 KiB AGENTS.md limit needs raising to use it as instructions
  • Results depend heavily on a strong agentic model; chat-only tools can only plan
  • Expect long sessions and real token spend; scope is very broad
  • README mixes in unrelated promotional links and paid offers

What it needs

  • no GPU
  • Needs A coding agent that can read/write files and run commands
  • Models: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, OpenClaw
