ai-context-os: The AI-Native Operating System for Software Projects

"Don't generate code. Orchestrate it."

ai-context-os is an installable LLM Orchestrator Framework designed to manage the intelligence, constraints, and context of AI Agents (Cursor, Claude, Antigravity) within any repository. It treats "AI Context" as Infrastructure-as-Code.

✨ What's New in v2.20

  • Recursive Evolution: The OS is now "living". Agents possess Legislative Rights (L4 Protocol) to autonomously detect knowledge gaps, research new technologies, and author new standardized skills into the OS without human intervention.
  • Silent Bootstrapping: Zero-prompt initializations. Agents read the .ultp_state buffer to instantly sync environment states without running blocking shell commands.
  • Dynamic Shared Memory: Continuity between agent sessions through a centralized .ai-context-os/memory/session.md event log.
  • Diamond Standards: Rigorous 90% test coverage threshold and 100% Purity checks for modular capabilities.

🎯 The Problem Solved

When working with Advanced Agents, context quickly degrades into a mess of conflicting rules, lost memories, and hallucinated patterns. ai-context-os solves this via a Fallback Architecture (Inheritance).

  1. Context Hygiene: Hides complex logic inside .ai-context-os/ and places tiny "pointer" files (.cursorrules, CLAUDE.md) in your root.
  2. Enforces SSOT: Ensures all agents fall back to the unbreakable laws in PROJECT_OS.md if project-specific rules fail.
  3. Self-Healing: Agents detect systemic failures and literally rewrite their own context rules to prevent a recurrence.

🏛️ Architecture & Layers

We organize intelligence into four distinct layers:

Layer Name Description
L0 Kernel The immutable "Constitution" of your project (PROJECT_OS.md).
L1 Adapters Pointer files (.cursorrules, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md) that bridge the AI to the Kernel.
L2 Skills Modular capabilities (React, Fastify, TDD) automatically generated and vetted.
L3 Memory Operational session logs allowing continuity across distinct agent runs.
├── PROJECT_OS.md       # L0: The Kernel (Single Source of Truth)
├── CLAUDE.md           # L1: Adapter for Claude/Antigravity
├── .cursorrules        # L1: Adapter for Cursor AI
├── GEMINI.md           # L1: Adapter for Gemini AI
├── skills/             # L2: Modular Capabilities (TDD, Frameworks)
└── memory/             # L3: Dynamic Shared Memory

🚀 Getting Started

The best way to leverage ai-context-os is to drop it into your existing projects to instantly structure their AI workflows.

1. Automated Integration (Recommended)

Run the following in your project root to provision the hidden .ai-context-os/ folder and setup the L1 pointers:

npx ai-context-os .

This keeps your root clean. Only .cursorrules, CLAUDE.md, and GEMINI.md are visible, acting as silent bootstrappers.

2. Manual Integration

  1. mkdir .ai-context-os in your project root.
  2. Use this package as a template: Move PROJECT_OS.md and the skills folder into your .ai-context-os/ directory.
  3. Copy one of the adapter-***.md templates into your root (rename it to .cursorrules or CLAUDE.md).

⚙️ Core Protocols

  • Protocol-First: Rules in PROJECT_OS.md override any pre-trained AI assumptions.
  • Silent Synchronization: Agents establish context context entirely O(1) via the .ultp_state cache without executing messy CLI commands.
  • Atomic Documentation: Every code change MUST include simultaneous documentation updates.
  • Regression Assurance: Full test suites must be rerun after every modification.

🛠️ CLI Utilities

Command Action
npx ai-context-os . Quick Integration (Current Dir)
npx ai-context-os audit --diamond Check Architectural Compliance against Purity rules
npx ai-context-os scout Visualize the active Context Architecture and loaded skills

🤖 AI-Native Integration (ULTP)

This OS uses the Ultra-Low Token Protocol (ULTP) to serialize the entire system state into a tiny string: [OS:A][L0:V;P:.ai-context-os/PROJECT_OS.md][L1:C,G,K][L2:tdd,fastify][M:V]

This reduces context overhead by 65%, providing high-density signaling for faster, cheaper, and more accurate AI orchestration.


🤝 Contributing & Legislation

The OS is designed to be self-writing. However, we welcome human PRs that improve the kernel or add new standardized L1 adapters. To trigger an AI-driven skill discovery in your fork, simply ask the agent to implement a technology it hasn't seen before.
