Simone is a directory-based project management framework designed to enhance AI-assisted software development with Claude Code. It structures projects into milestones, sprints, and tasks, providing AI agents with rich, focused context for each work item to mitigate context decay and improve development accuracy. This system is targeted at developers and teams looking to leverage AI for breaking down complex projects and managing AI-driven coding workflows.

How It Works

Simone organizes projects into a strict directory structure, including manifest, documentation, requirements (by milestone), sprints, general tasks, architectural decisions, and state snapshots. Each task is designed to be self-contained, with all necessary project context provided to Claude Code at the start of execution. This approach aims to overcome the limitations of AI context windows by ensuring critical project information is always present for each task, rather than risking it being forgotten in longer, continuous sessions.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install Simone: npx hello-simone
• Initialize Project: Open in Claude Code and run /project:simone:initialize
• Prerequisites: Claude Code environment.
• Further details: CHANGELOG.md

Highlighted Details

• Directory-based structure for clear project organization.
• Commands for initializing projects, creating sprints from milestones, and generating detailed tasks.
• /project:simone:do_task executes individual tasks with full project context.
• Supports autonomous sprint execution via YOLO mode.

Maintenance & Community

• Open to contributions via Pull Requests.
• Feedback and bug reports are encouraged via GitHub Issues.
• Community discussion available on the Anthropic Discord server (user @helmi).

Licensing & Compatibility

• License: Not explicitly stated in the README.

Limitations & Caveats

Simone is described as a sophisticated system requiring time to understand and adapt to individual workflows, not a simple plug-and-play solution. Parallel task execution requires manual configuration of Claude Code and can significantly increase API usage.
