Agent OS is a system designed to improve the planning and execution of software development tasks performed by AI agents. It aims to transform AI coding agents from unreliable assistants into productive developers by providing structured workflows and detailed specifications tailored to specific codebases and development standards. This system is suitable for various AI coding tools, project types, and technology stacks.

How It Works

Agent OS operates on a "spec-driven" approach, meaning it relies on detailed specifications to guide AI agents. This methodology provides agents with the necessary context and requirements to produce higher-quality code more efficiently, reducing the iterative process often associated with AI-generated code.
