xoskel

xoskel is the CLI and npm package for bootstrapping an Exoskeleton harness inside an existing Git repository.

After publishing, anyone can run it with:

npx xoskel
# or, after install:
xoskel

Quick start

npm install
npm run dev -- --help
npm run dev -- init

Local usage

# Run directly during development
node ./bin/xoskel.js

# Or through npm script
npm run dev -- --version
npm run dev -- status

Current MVP commands

xoskel init
xoskel status
xoskel scan
xoskel context build
xoskel context show
xoskel journal add "Reviewed auth flow"
xoskel search "policy"
xoskel policy show
xoskel doctor

xoskel init creates a repo-local .xoskel/ scaffold, augments AGENTS.md, writes a conservative default policy, and builds a rebuildable local search index.

Runtime memory and the search index are rebuildable accelerators, not canonical project state.
