agentic-os: Structured AI Coding Governance for Reliable Delivery

Name: agentic-os: Structured AI Coding Governance for Reliable Delivery
Author: KbWen

Ensures your AI coding agents follow a verifiable plan‑build‑review‑test‑ship loop, with built‑in guardrails for Claude, Codex, Copilot and more. Ideal for founders who need trustworthy, auditable automation.

From the repo · “Governance framework for AI coding agents. It runs them through a five-step workflow (plan, build, review, test, ship) where no step counts as done without evidence. Drop-in rules and guardrails for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and Antigravity, via AGENTS.md.”

What it does

Agentic-os is a governance framework that automates a five-step workflow for AI coding agents, ensuring each step is completed with evidence.

When to use it

•When integrating multiple AI coding agents into your development pipeline
•When requiring a standardized workflow for AI-driven coding tasks
•When needing to ensure accountability and transparency in AI-assisted coding

Ready-to-paste prompt

Create an AGENTS.md file with the following content: `---
agents:
  - name: Claude Code
    plan: plan.md
    build: build.sh
    review: review.py
    test: test.py
    ship: ship.sh` and then run `agentic-os run` to execute the workflow

Heads up: Ensure that you have Python installed on your system, as agentic-os is built using Python, and also be aware that you need to define your AI coding agents and workflow steps in the AGENTS.md file before running the agentic-os workflow
