Quickstart

Five minutes from install to an agent with memory, a knowledge graph, and a task board. Requires Python 3.11+ and uv.

  1. 1

    Install the CLI

    Installs the cos command globally.
    $uv tool install coding-os
  2. 2

    Initialize your project

    Run inside your repo. Pick your agent (Claude Code or Codex) and stack — this scaffolds rules, hooks, skills, and the docs system, and builds the knowledge graph.
    $cos init
  3. 3

    Restart your agent

    Your agent picks up the MCP server + hooks on the next session. The status banner confirms the cognitive loop is live.
  4. 4

    Watch it think

    The hub shows the task board, graph, memory, and cognition traces for every registered project.
    $cos board --web
