Agent-OS is an LLM multi-agent orchestration framework and AI software development lifecycle tool designed to coordinate specialized agents through shared workspaces and structured task lists. It functions as an agentic application bootstrapper and technical specification engine, providing the infrastructure to guide the process from product requirements to automated coding and deployment.
The system distinguishes itself through spec-driven development, using detailed technical specifications and layered context injection to ensure generated code aligns with project standards. It employs a mailbox-based communication system for parallel agent sessions and utilizes worktree-based implementation comparisons to evaluate and select the optimal output from multiple agents.
The framework covers broad capability areas including product planning and requirement engineering, project governance through coding standard enforcement, and agent infrastructure provisioning. It also provides a control plane for activity tracking and an automated quality assurance suite for security scanning and UI testing.
The project is implemented primarily in Shell.
