Getting started
Director Mode is a set of adaptable workflows, not a permission or policy
layer. Keep the user's preferred CLI controls and choose only the skills useful
for the current task.
1. Verify the portable surfaces
./scripts/verify-install.sh /path/to/project
A full three-CLI install currently provides 35 skills, 14 canonical Claude
agents, 14 Codex adapters, 14 Grok adapters, shared guidance, and the session
relay. Python 3 is required for installation and relay packets. jq is only a
legacy automation dependency; a normal zero-hook install does not need it.
Active hooks are optional. The default install deliberately registers none.
Use --hooks guide only when a short non-blocking Claude/Codex SessionStart
context is useful. Grok reads the same guidance from AGENTS.md without an
inert passive hook.
2. Choose a starting point
director-mode: define outcome, context, constraints, evidence, and the next
decision for substantial work.workflow: use the full research → plan → implement → verify → review flow.focus-problem: understand an unfamiliar bug or codebase area.session-relay: leave portable state for Claude, Codex, or Grok to continue.smart-commit: review and prepare a conventional commit when requested.
Testing and TDD skills are available when they fit the repository or the user
asks for them; they are not imposed on every task.
3. Let another CLI continue
.director-mode/bin/director-relay create \
--from claude --to codex \
--goal "Finish the current feature" \
--summary "Implementation is partly complete" \
--next "Inspect the worktree and continue"
.director-mode/bin/director-relay continue --to codex
The second command prints a copyable native command. It launches nothing until
the user explicitly adds --run.
