CLI tool to scaffold AI agent configuration files in any repository. a2 = ai agents.

Quick Start

npx a2scaffold

  AGENTS.md       # Pair programming guide for AI agents
  context/        # Canonical knowledge (human-curated)
  memory/         # Agent-generated learnings
  prompts/        # Scanning & generation prompts
    reflect-agents.prompt.md  # Agent reflection prompt
  skills/         # Reusable procedures
  plan/
    PDCA.md       # PDCA methodology
    promotions.md # Promotion log
    cycles/       # Individual PDCA rounds
.claude/CLAUDE.md # Claude Code project instructions
.github/copilot-instructions.md  # Copilot project instructions

Installation

# Use directly with npx (no install needed)

# Or install globally
npm install -g a2scaffold

# Or add to a project
pnpm add -D a2scaffold
