Quickstart

Welcome to Attacca.

What is This?

Attacca is a system for building software with AI agents. You describe what you want. Agents plan, code, review, audit, and ship.

Your First Step

Starting a new project? → Run /init-project

Working on an existing project? → Run /retrofit to set up documentation and configuration

Want to understand the system first? → Read CONTEXT.md in the repo root (or this project's .dev/ if no CONTEXT.md exists yet)

---

What Happens Next

When you start a project:

1. You describe what you want (a PRD, an issue, a sketch)
2. The system scaffolds:
   • Project structure
   • CONTEXT.md with overview and conventions
   • .gitignore and basic configs
3. You commit and start building
4. Agents assist with planning, coding, review, and security
