SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of setting up a new autonomous project workspace quickly and consistently, so you can start missions with the right context and goals instead of manually creating project files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project scaffolding: Creates a standardized project structure including AGENTS.md and context.md so every mission starts with the correct instructions and background knowledge.
  • Goal definition: Generates a goals.md file when the project has clear targets, optionally including measurable metrics and how to evaluate them.
  • Mission creation: Creates recurring, project-scoped missions on a chosen cadence (daily/weekly/monthly or cron), ensuring missions land in the intended project rather than the default.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant: /new-project a marketing research plan for a new SaaS product and it will create the project workspace files and set up the initial recurring missions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an autonomous workspace for recurring missions?

You can set up an autonomous workspace by providing a project description. The system derives a project slug, writes AGENTS.md and context.md files, and creates recurring missions on your chosen cadence to automate your workflow.

How do I generate a project slug and scaffold project files automatically?

Project scaffolding is generated automatically from your project description. The system creates a standardized structure by deriving a unique project slug and writing core files like AGENTS.md for agent instructions and context.md for background knowledge.

Can I define measurable goals when creating a new project workspace?

Yes, you can define measurable goals during project setup. When your project has clear targets, the system generates a goals.md file that optionally includes specific metrics and evaluation criteria to track your progress.

How do I schedule recurring missions on a daily or weekly cadence?

You can schedule recurring missions by using the mission creation feature with an explicit project ID. This supports daily, weekly, monthly, or cron-based cadences, ensuring missions land in the intended project rather than the default workspace.

What files are needed for project scaffolding and agent instructions?

Project scaffolding requires AGENTS.md for agent instructions and context.md for background context. When applicable, a goals.md file is also generated to define clear targets and measurable metrics for the autonomous workspace.

Do I need to manually assign a project ID when creating recurring missions?

No, you do not need to manually assign it, but the system uses an explicit project ID during mission creation. This ensures that recurring missions are correctly scoped to your new project workspace instead of defaulting to a generic location.
