krow-cli

krow

krow is a host-agnostic agent harness for coding work.

It packages three things:

• a lean execution contract
• a runtime-agnostic state and signal model
• host wrappers that expose explicit krow entrypoints without polluting the core prompts

Install

From npm:

npx krow-cli init

The published package name is krow-cli. The installed command remains krow.

That installs:

• Codex $krow
• Claude Code /krow
• Gemini CLI /krow

Core stance

• model capability is already good enough for many engineering tasks
• quality comes from orchestration, not prompt bloat
• do not guess; gather evidence first
• when clarification is needed, ask for the full current bundle at once
• one worker owns one task with one clear output boundary
• use the filesystem for baton passing, resume, and durable state

Layout

• AGENTS.md: always-loaded execution contract
• HARNESS.md: full system blueprint
• FOUNDATIONS.md: philosophy and design lineage
• skills/: reusable workflow surfaces
• prompts/: narrow role prompts
• schemas/: payload, signal, and state schemas
• reference-runtime/: strict state-machine reference implementation
• install/: host wrapper installer

Usage

• In Codex, invoke $krow ...
• In Claude Code, invoke /krow ...
• In Gemini CLI, invoke /krow ...

The host wrapper is only an entry mechanism. The core system still operates on explicit work intent, evidence-backed clarification, and clarify -> execute -> verify.
