What is Sinapse?

Sinapse is a collection of 17 specialized AI agent squads designed to work inside Claude Code. Each squad is a self-contained team of AI agents with distinct personas, deep knowledge bases, structured tasks, workflows, and quality checklists -- all focused on a specific professional domain.

Instead of prompting Claude from scratch every time, you activate a specialist agent that already knows the frameworks, best practices, and methodologies of its field. The agents collaborate within their squad through orchestrated workflows, and squads can hand off work to each other when a task crosses domains.

Key highlights:

• 149 agents with unique names, personas, and areas of expertise
• 1,196 structured tasks with inputs, outputs, checklists, and step-by-step execution
• 187 knowledge bases covering world-class frameworks and methodologies
• 80 workflows for end-to-end orchestrated processes
• Works standalone with any Claude Code project -- no extra framework required
• Framework agnostic -- works with any project that uses Claude Code

Quick Start

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/caio-imori/sinapse.git

# 2. Link the CLI globally
cd sinapse
npm link

# 3. Go to any project and install
cd ~/my-project
sinapse install

That's it. Your project now has all 17 squads available via slash commands in Claude Code.

How It Works

Slash Commands

After installation, each squad's agents become available as slash commands in Claude Code:

/{prefix}:agents:{agent-id}

Examples:

/ca:agents:ca-orchestrator        # Activate Kinetic -- Creative Animations orchestrator
/brand:agents:brand-strategist    # Activate Athena -- Brand Strategist
/research:agents:deep-researcher  # Activate Sage -- Deep Research Scholar
/council:agents:charlie-munger    # Consult Charlie Munger from the Strategic Council
/copywriting:agents:headline-specialist  # Activate Hook -- Headline & Hook Specialist

Squad-Awareness Routing

When you install squads into a project, a squad-awareness.md rule is automatically generated inside .claude/rules/. This tells Claude Code which domains are covered by specialized squads, so it recommends the right agent instead of handling requests generically.

For example, if you ask about "brand positioning," Claude will suggest activating Athena from the Brand System squad rather than answering on its own.

Framework Agnostic

Sinapse works in any project that uses Claude Code -- no additional framework required. Just clone, install, and go.

Commands Reference

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | sinapse install | Install all squads into the current project (first-time setup) | | sinapse update | Update squads and regenerate awareness rules and command files | | sinapse list | List all available squads with agent and task counts | | sinapse status | Check which squads are installed in the current project | | sinapse pull | Pull latest updates from the repo and update the current project | | sinapse help | Show help and usage information |

Squad Structure

Every squad follows a consistent directory layout:

squad-animations/
├── squad.yaml              # Manifest -- agents, tasks, workflows, metadata
├── agents/                 # Agent definitions with personas, roles, and task lists
│   ├── ca-orchestrator.md
│   ├── threejs-architect.md
│   ├── shader-artist.md
│   └── ...
├── tasks/                  # Structured tasks with inputs, outputs, and checklists
│   ├── setup-threejs-scene.md
│   ├── create-custom-shader.md
│   └── ...
├── knowledge-base/         # Domain knowledge -- frameworks, references, techniques
│   ├── disney-12-principles-web.md
│   ├── shader-techniques-library.md
│   └── ...
├── workflows/              # Multi-step orchestrated processes
│   ├── prompt-to-animation-cycle.yaml
│   └── ...
├── checklists/             # Quality validation checklists
├── templates/              # Reusable document and output templates
└── preferences/            # Auto-learning preference logs per project

Creating Your Own Squad

You can extend Sinapse by creating your own:

1. Create a directory named squad-{your-name}/ in the repo root
2. Add a squad.yaml manifest defining agents, tasks, workflows, and knowledge bases
3. Create the subdirectories: agents/, tasks/, knowledge-base/, workflows/
4. Write agent definitions as Markdown files with persona, role, principles, and task assignments
5. Write task files with clear inputs, outputs, step-by-step instructions, and quality checklists
6. Run sinapse update in your project to pick up the new squad

Use any existing squad as a reference -- squad-animations is a clean example to start from.

Requirements

• Claude Code -- Anthropic's CLI for Claude
• Node.js 18 or later
• Git
• Bash (Git Bash on Windows works perfectly)
