Three commands. Full pipeline.

From zero to a structured, multi-agent development workflow in minutes.

1 guild init

Interactive onboarding. Sets up structured spec-first workflows.

2 /guild-specialize

Explores your codebase. Enriches CLAUDE.md with real context, conventions, and patterns.

3 /council

Multiple perspectives evaluate your idea independently. A design doc captures the decision before code is written.

Spec first, then build

Every feature starts with structured deliberation. Code comes after the design doc.

Nine roles power the pipeline

Agents are the implementation layer. Each has a single responsibility and follows the project conventions defined in your CLAUDE.md.

Advisor

Evaluates ideas and gives strategic direction. First gate before any work begins.

Product Owner

Converts ideas into concrete tasks with acceptance criteria and clear scope.

Tech Lead

Defines technical approach, architecture, and implementation direction.

Developer

Implements features following project conventions, writes tests, makes atomic commits.

Code Reviewer

Reviews code quality, patterns, and tech debt. Guards the standards of the guild.

QA

Testing, edge cases, and regression. Validates that the implementation meets acceptance criteria.

Bugfix

Diagnosis and bug resolution. Isolates root causes and applies targeted fixes.

DB Migration

Schema changes and safe migrations. Handles rollback strategies and data integrity.

Platform Expert

Resolves Claude Code integration issues, worktree configs, and environment problems.

Structure without infrastructure

Spec before code

Every feature starts with a design doc. Requirements, trade-offs, and decisions are captured before a single line of code is written.

Structured deliberation

Multiple agents analyze your idea independently, in parallel. Diverse perspectives converge into a clear, well-reasoned decision.

Decisions that persist

Design docs are tracked in git. Every decision has a rationale, every trade-off is documented. Context survives across sessions.

Zero infrastructure

No servers, no databases, no API keys. Just markdown files and Claude Code. Works in any project, any language, any stack.
