/quickstart
One job: Tell a new user what AgentOps does and what to do first. Fast.
YOU MUST EXECUTE THIS WORKFLOW. Do not just describe it.
Execution Steps
Step 1: Detect setup
git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "GIT=true" || echo "GIT=false"
command -v ao >/dev/null && echo "AO=true" || echo "AO=false"
command -v bd >/dev/null && echo "BD=true" || echo "BD=false"
[ -d .agents ] && echo "AGENTS=true" || echo "AGENTS=false"
Step 2: Show what AgentOps does
Output exactly this (no additions, no diagrams):
AgentOps gives your coding agent three things it doesn't have by default:
Memory — sessions accumulate learnings in .agents/ and inject them back
Judgment — /council spawns independent judges to validate plans and code
Workflow — /rpi chains research → plan → implement → validate in one command
Key skills: /rpi /research /plan /implement /vibe /council /swarm /status
Full reference: /quickstart --catalog
Step 3: One next action
Match the first row that applies. Output only that message — nothing else.
| Condition | Message |
|---|
| GIT=false | "⚠ Not in a git repo. Run git init first." |
| AO=false | "📦 Install ao CLI first:\n brew tap boshu2/agentops https://github.com/boshu2/homebrew-agentops\n brew install agentops\n ao init --hooks && ao seed\nThen: /rpi \"a small goal\" to run your first cycle." |
| AGENTS=false | "🌱 ao is installed but not initialized here.\n ao init --hooks && ao seed\nThen: /rpi \"a small goal\" to run your first cycle." |
| BD=false | "✅ Flywheel active. Start now:\n /rpi \"your goal\" — full research → plan → implement pipeline\n /vibe recent — validate recent changes\n /research <topic> — explore the codebase\n Want issue tracking? brew install boshu2/agentops/beads && bd init --prefix <prefix>" |
| BD=true | "✅ Full stack ready.\n bd ready — see open work\n /rpi \"your goal\" — start a new goal from scratch\n /status — see current session state" |
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|
| Skills not installed | bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boshu2/agentops/main/scripts/install.sh) |
| Flywheel count is 0 | First session — run /rpi "a small goal" to start it |
