Synkra AIOS (AI-Orchestrated System for Full Stack Development) is a core framework designed to revolutionize software development and other domains by leveraging the power of AI agents. This open-source project, currently at version 4.0, aims to provide a self-modifying development environment built upon Agent-Driven Agile principles. Its primary purpose is to empower developers and users with AI-driven capabilities, extending beyond traditional software development to encompass creative writing, business strategy, personal well-being, and education.

The core functionality of Synkra AIOS revolves around its CLI (Command Line Interface) first architecture. This design prioritizes the CLI as the central hub for all operations, decisions, and automation. The framework emphasizes a clear hierarchy: CLI first, observability second, and UI third. This means that the intelligence and execution of tasks reside primarily within the CLI, with dashboards and UIs serving as observational and supplementary tools. This approach ensures that the system's core functionality is independent of any specific UI and that new features are fully functional via the CLI before UI integration.

A key innovation of Synkra AIOS lies in its "Agentic Planning" and "Contextualized Development" phases. The framework utilizes dedicated AI agents, such as analysts, project managers, and architects, to collaborate with the user. These agents work to create detailed and consistent PRD (Product Requirements Document) and architectural specifications. This planning phase, driven by advanced prompt engineering and human-in-the-loop refinement, produces comprehensive specifications that go beyond basic AI-generated task lists. Following the planning phase, a "Scrum Master" (sm) agent transforms these detailed plans into hyper-detailed development stories. These stories contain all the necessary information for the "dev" agent, including complete context, implementation details, and architectural guidance, directly embedded within the story files. This two-stage approach addresses the common problems of planning inconsistencies and context loss often encountered in AI-assisted development.

The framework offers a streamlined installation process, primarily through the `npx aios-core init` command, which provides an interactive setup experience. The installer guides users through project creation, component selection, and package manager configuration. It also automatically configures IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI, providing pre-configured rules and integrations to enhance the development workflow. The installation process also includes a system doctor command for diagnosing and resolving potential issues.

Synkra AIOS emphasizes a "CLI First" approach, with the CLI being the primary interface for interacting with the AI agents and managing the development process. The CLI provides a range of commands for project initialization, installation, system diagnostics, and updates. The CLI also supports a dry-run mode for testing installations without modifying files.

Beyond software development, Synkra AIOS is designed to be versatile. The framework's natural language processing capabilities can be applied to various domains through the use of "Squads." Squads are pre-configured teams of AI agents tailored for specific tasks, such as creative writing, business strategy, and personal well-being. This allows users to leverage the power of AI agents in diverse applications. The project encourages contributions and provides comprehensive documentation, including user guides, installation guides, and architecture overviews, to facilitate adoption and customization. The project also provides detailed instructions for updating existing installations, ensuring users can easily benefit from the latest improvements and features.
