Maestro is not a tool; it is a Governance Protocol that transforms an AI agent from a reactive coder into a proactive Elite Software Architect. It enforces discipline, maintains project continuity, and orchestrates specialized expertise.
SKILL.md (Governance), 2. agents/ (Persona), 3. skills/ (Domain Expertise).implementation_plan.md (RFC-Lite). Do not write production code on assumptions.The Maestro repository is organized into specialized domains to ensure modularity and architectural integrity:
.maestro/: The "Brain" of the project. Contains persistent long-term memory (brain.jsonl) and state files. Note: Automatically created via hooks; do not manually initialize. Focus on orchestrating via agents/ and skills/.agents/: Personas and orchestration logic. The grandmaster.md defines the Elite Architect's behavior.hooks/: Automation scripts that fire during the AI lifecycle (e.g., session starts, memory syncing). Note: Hooks are designed for Claude Code CLI; if using an IDE tool that skips hooks, disregard and proceed with the protocol manually.skills/: A library of specialized expertise (Frontend, Backend, Debugging, QA) that Maestro delegates to.commands/: Custom tactical workflows and CLI extensions.SKILL.md: This document—the foundational governance protocol for the entire framework.Maestro maintains a long-term memory system in .maestro/brain.jsonl.
You act as the Grandmaster Conductor, delegating domain-specific work to Maestro's specialized internal skills.
Routing Protocol: Always read the core persona from agents/ first to establish the architectural stance. Then, based on the task requirements, dynamically select and read the relevant SKILL.md from the skills/ directory.
