Summary

Aurora - Memory-aware Planning & Multi-Agent Orchestration Framework

• LLM-agnostic - No API keys, works with 20+ CLI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, etc.)
• Smart Memory - ACT-R activation decay, BM25, tree-sitter/cAST, git signals
• Memory-Aware Planning - Decompose goals, assign agents, detect capability gaps
• Memory-Aware Research - Multi-agent orchestration with recovery and state
• Task Execution - Stop gates for feature creep and dangerous commands
• Headless Mode - Isolated branch execution with max retries

Core Features

Smart Memory (Slash Commands)

aur:search - Memory with activation decay from ACT-R. Indexes your code using:

• BM25 - Keyword search
• Git signals - Recent changes rank higher
• Tree-sitter/cAST - Code stored as class/method (Python, TypeScript, Java)
• Markdown indexing - Search docs, save tokens

# Terminal
aur mem index .
aur mem search "soar reasoning" --show-scores

Memory-Aware Planning (Terminal)

aur goals - Decomposes any goal into subgoals:

1. Looks up existing memory for matches
2. Breaks down into subgoals
3. Assigns your existing subagents to each subgoal
4. Detects capability gaps - tells you what agents to create

Works across any domain (code, writing, research).

Memory-Aware Research (Terminal)

aur soar - Research questions using your codebase:

1. Looks up existing memory for matches
2. Decomposes question into sub-questions
3. Utilizes existing subagents
4. Spawns agents on the fly
5. Simple multi-orchestration with agent recovery (stateful)

Task Execution (Terminal)

aur spawn - Takes predefined task list and executes with:

• Stop gates for feature creep
• Dangerous command detection (rm -rf, etc.)
• Budget limits

aur spawn tasks.md --verbose

Planning Workflow

3 simple steps from goal to implementation.

Code-aware planning: aur goals searches your indexed codebase and maps each subgoal to relevant source files (source_file). This context flows through /aur:plan → /aur:implement, making implementation more accurate.

Quick prototype? Skip aur goals and run /aur:plan directly - the agent will search on the fly (less structured).

Setup (once)             Step 1: Decompose        Step 2: Plan             Step 3: Implement

* Ask your agent to complete project.md: "Please fill out .aurora/project.md with our
  architecture, conventions, and key patterns." This improves planning accuracy.

See 3 Simple Steps Guide for detailed walkthrough.

Quick Start

# Install (or upgrade with --upgrade flag)
pip install aurora-actr

# Initialize project (once per project)
cd your-project/
aur init                        # Creates .aurora/project.md

# IMPORTANT: Complete .aurora/project.md manually
# Ask your agent: "Please complete the project.md with our architecture and conventions"
# This context improves planning accuracy

# Index codebase for memory
aur mem index .

# Plan with memory context
aur goals "Add user authentication"

# In your CLI tool (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.):
/aur:plan add-user-authentication
/aur:implement add-user-authentication
