Ouroboros - Development Environment

This CLAUDE.md is for local development only. End users install via:

claude plugin marketplace add Q00/ouroboros
claude plugin install ouroboros@ouroboros

Once installed as a plugin, skills/hooks/agents work natively without this file.

ooo Commands (Dev Mode)

When the user types any of these commands, read the corresponding SKILL.md file and follow its instructions exactly:

Input Action
ooo (bare, no subcommand) Read skills/welcome/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo auto ... Read skills/auto/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo interview ... Read skills/interview/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo seed Read skills/seed/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo run Read skills/run/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo evaluate or ooo eval Read skills/evaluate/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo evolve ... Read skills/evolve/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo unstuck or ooo stuck or ooo lateral Read skills/unstuck/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo status or ooo drift Read skills/status/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo ralph Read skills/ralph/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo tutorial Read skills/tutorial/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo setup Read skills/setup/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo welcome Read skills/welcome/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo cancel Read skills/cancel/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo qa or ooo qa ... Read skills/qa/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo help Read skills/help/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo update Read skills/update/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo pm or ooo pm ... Read skills/pm/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo brownfield or ooo brownfield ... Read skills/brownfield/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo publish or ooo publish ... Read skills/publish/SKILL.md and follow it
ooo resume-session Read skills/resume-session/SKILL.md and follow it

Important: Do NOT use the Skill tool. Read the file with the Read tool and execute its instructions directly.

Agents

Bundled agents live in src/ouroboros/agents/. When a skill references an agent (e.g., ouroboros:socratic-interviewer), read its definition from src/ouroboros/agents/{name}.md and adopt that role. Use OUROBOROS_AGENTS_DIR or .claude-plugin/agents/ only for explicit custom overrides.

Ouroboros — Specification-First AI Development

Before telling AI what to build, define what should be built. As Socrates asked 2,500 years ago — "What do you truly know?" Ouroboros turns that question into an evolutionary AI workflow engine.

Most AI coding fails at the input, not the output. Ouroboros fixes this by exposing hidden assumptions before any code is written.

  1. Socratic Clarity — Question until ambiguity ≤ 0.2
  2. Ontological Precision — Solve the root problem, not symptoms
  3. Evolutionary Loops — Each evaluation cycle feeds back into better specs
Interview → Seed → Execute → Evaluate
    ↑                           ↓
    └─── Evolutionary Loop ─────┘
