/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
