MAP Framework installer - Modular Agentic Planner for Claude Code

MAP Framework for Claude Code

Structured AI development workflows that replace ad-hoc prompting with plan → execute → validate loops.

Based on MAP cognitive architecture (Nature Communications, 2025) — 74% improvement in planning tasks.

Why MAP?

• Structured workflows — 11 specialized agents instead of single-prompt chaos
• Quality gates — automatic validation catches errors before they compound
• 40-60% cost savings — prevents circular reasoning and scope creep
• Learning system — captures patterns for reuse across projects
• Persistent artifacts — /map-plan, /map-efficient, and /map-check keep branch-scoped research, session, review, QA, and verification artifacts inside .map/<branch>/

Quick Start

1. Install

uv tool install mapify-cli

# or with pip
pip install mapify-cli

2. Initialize (in your project)

cd your-project
mapify init

3. Start Claude Code and run your first workflow

You'll know it's working when: Claude spawns specialized agents (TaskDecomposer → Actor → Monitor) with structured output instead of freeform responses.

Core Commands

Command	Use For
/map-efficient	Production features, refactoring, complex tasks (recommended)
/map-debug	Bug fixes and debugging
/map-fast	Small, low-risk changes
/map-review	Pre-commit code review
/map-check	Quality gates and verification
/map-plan	Task decomposition without implementation
/map-task	Execute a single subtask from an existing plan
/map-tdd	Test-first implementation workflow
/map-release	Package release workflow
/map-resume	Resume interrupted workflows
/map-learn	Extract lessons after workflow completion; optional [workflow-summary]

Detailed usage and options →

Canonical MAP flows:

• Standard: /map-plan -> /map-efficient -> /map-check -> /map-review -> /map-learn (when you want to pay the learning cost)
• Full TDD: /map-plan -> /map-tdd -> /map-check -> /map-review -> /map-learn
• Targeted subtask TDD: /map-plan -> /map-tdd ST-001 -> /map-task ST-001 -> ... -> /map-check -> /map-review -> /map-learn

/map-plan now records a workflow-fit decision first, so trivial work can exit early with a direct edit or /map-fast recommendation instead of forcing full MAP planning.

These workflows maintain branch-scoped artifacts like code-review-001.md, qa-001.md, verification-summary.md, pr-draft.md, artifact_manifest.json, and run dossiers under .map/<branch>/. Targeted TDD flows also persist test_contract_ST-00N.md and test_handoff_ST-00N.json so /map-task can resume implementation from a clean red-phase handoff.

LEARN is still the philosophical end of the MAP cycle, but runtime keeps it soft: /map-efficient, /map-debug, /map-check, and /map-review now write learning-handoff.md / .json under .map/<branch>/, so /map-learn [workflow-summary] can run immediately with an explicit summary or later with no argument by auto-loading the generated handoff.

How It Works

MAP orchestrates specialized agents through slash commands:

TaskDecomposer → breaks goal into subtasks
     ↓
   Actor → generates code
     ↓
  Monitor → validates quality (loop if needed)
     ↓
 Predictor → analyzes impact (for risky changes)

The orchestration lives in .claude/commands/map-*.md prompts created by mapify init.
