Quick Start

1. Install

Install the CLI globally:

npm install -g @aut-o/cli

Or use npx without installing:

npx @aut-o/cli init my-product

2. Initialize a Project

Create a new aut-o project. This generates grounding files (AGENTS.md, manifest.json) and the project structure:

aut-o init my-product

The init command detects your tech stack, generates an AGENTS.md file for AI tool grounding, and sets up the aut-o scoring configuration.

3. Validate

Check that your project meets aut-o quality standards:

aut-o validate

This runs the 12 tenets against your project and reports compliance.

4. Score

Get your project's aut-o Score:

aut-o score

The aut-o Score combines deterministic checks (lint, types, tests), LLM-as-judge evaluation, and historical calibration into a 0-100 composite score.

5. Run the Pipeline

Launch the full 9-stage autonomous pipeline:

aut-o run "Build a task management app with real-time collaboration"

The pipeline researches, debates, evolves, documents, architects, implements, tests, deploys, and prepares your product for market. Each stage must pass its quality gate before advancing.
