agents-smith 0.2.0

AI-assisted software delivery system with flow-based agent orchestration

Pair program with AI, the right way.

---

smith is an AI pair programming platform that connects standardised agent configurations to any project directory — and disconnects cleanly when done. It ships with a complete delivery workflow: structured flows for discovery, planning, TDD development, review, and release, powered by specialised agents (Product Owner, Architect, Engineer, Reviewer, and more).

---

Install

pip install agents-smith

Or clone for development:

git clone https://github.com/nullhack/agents-smith
cd agents-smith
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh  # skip if uv is already installed
uv sync --all-extras

---

Usage

Connect

Write agentic files (agents, skills, knowledge, flows, templates) into any project directory:

smith connect              # from bundled template (no network needed)
smith connect --from PATH  # from a local directory
smith connect --from URL   # from a remote tarball
smith connect --overwrite  # replace existing smith-managed files

Status

Check what smith has connected to your project:

smith status           # human-readable output
smith status --json    # machine-readable output

Update

Re-sync agentic files from the connected source:

smith update               # from the same source used at connect time
smith update --from PATH   # from a different local source

Disconnect

Remove all smith-managed files and gitignore entries. User-tracked files are never touched:

smith disconnect

What you get

When you run smith connect, the following is written into your project:

Path	Contents
AGENTS.md	Agent routing, session protocol, artifact conventions
.opencode/agents/	Agent identity definitions (Product Owner, Architect, Engineer, Reviewer, etc.)
.opencode/skills/	Step-by-step skill definitions for every workflow state
.opencode/knowledge/	Curated knowledge files (TDD, DDD, architecture, requirements, design, etc.)
.flowr/flows/	YAML state machine definitions (delivery, TDD cycle, review gate, setup, etc.)
.templates/	Artifact templates (ADR, feature files, changelog, interview notes, etc.)

Agents

Six specialised agents, each owning a phase of the delivery flow:

Agent	Role
Product Owner	Scope discovery, feature selection, acceptance
Domain Expert	Ubiquitous language, domain modeling, glossary
Architect	System design, ADRs, context maps, review
Software Engineer	TDD implementation, refactoring, merging
Reviewer	Adversarial review (design, structure, conventions)
Design Agent	Visual identity, colors, assets

Flows

Workflow state machines powered by flowr:

Flow	Purpose
delivery-flow	End-to-end feature delivery (select → specify → implement → review → accept)
tdd-cycle-flow	Red-green-refactor loop within a feature
review-gate-flow	Three-tier review (design → structure → conventions)
setup-project-flow	Initialise a new project from template
discovery-flow	Stakeholder interviews and product scoping
planning-flow	Feature breakdown and BDD specification
architecture-flow	System design and context mapping
post-mortem-flow	Incident analysis and lessons

Knowledge

Curated research summaries covering TDD, DDD, architecture patterns, SOLID, test design, code review, versioning, and more. Agents load these progressively — key takeaways for quick reference, full documents for detailed work.

Development

uv run task test              # full suite + coverage
uv run task test-fast         # fast, no coverage (TDD loop)
uv run task lint              # ruff format + check
uv run task static-check      # pyright type checking
uv run task run               # run smith
uv run task doc-build         # build API docs + coverage report
uv run task release-check     # lint + typecheck + test + docs

Updating the bundled template

The smith/data/ directory ships with a bundled template. To sync it from the upstream temple8 repository:

./scripts/update-bundle.sh
