# Place in your Claude Code skills directory (~/.claude/skills/)Use the /v1/skills endpoint with the container.skills parameter. Requires Code Execution Tool beta.
If you're on the free plan, you can still use everything in this repo:
-
Guided mode (recommended) — Open
START-HERE.mdon GitHub, click Raw, copy everything, paste into a new Claude chat. Describe your idea — Claude will ask what you're building, identify the right agents, give you exact GitHub URLs to paste them one at a time, and guide you through the entire product development process step by step. -
Projects — Create a Project in Claude.ai, paste
SKILL.md+SMART-LOADER.mdas project knowledge. Then paste individual agent/framework files as needed per conversation. -
Direct paste — Open any file on GitHub (e.g.
frameworks/founders-playbook.md), copy the raw content, and paste it into a regular Claude chat. Every file works standalone. -
Claude Code — If you have Claude Code access, clone the repo into your skills directory. Skills load automatically.

Smart Loading — SMART-LOADER.md routes each request to only the relevant agents. Scores agents 0-10 on relevance, handles multi-intent requests, supports dynamic mid-conversation loading. Never loads everything at once. Free tier: 3 agents/turn. Pro: 5 agents/turn.
Cross-Agent Governance — 4-level authority hierarchy prevents contradictions: Compliance (override) → Security (override) → Finance (veto) → Chief Reviewer (veto). 5-step conflict protocol: stop, state, apply hierarchy, document, flag.
KDR Memory — Key Decision Records with sequential numbering, conflict detection (scan-before-record), and SUPERSEDED mechanism. Survives chat compaction. Works on free tier. Paste MASTER KDR into new conversations to resume.
Agent Standards — Shared quality protocol inherited by all agents: before/during/after checklists, iterative refinement loops, performance rules, cross-reference table mapping every agent to related frameworks.
