> **The open-source operating system for AI-native technology companies.**
>
> Version: 2.1 · Clone it, customize it, and run a company from idea to global scale.

Company OS is not a prompt repository, a code template, or a business plan. It is the **central
source of truth** for how an AI-native company operates: organizational structure, engineering
culture, product development, research, operations, an AI-agent workforce, orchestration, memory,
standards, templates, playbooks, and domain-specific starter kits.

It is **industry-agnostic** and **modular**. Nothing assumes a specific business. Every department
is a self-contained miniature operating manual that follows the same structure, so the system is
predictable, extensible, and repeatable.

**Scale:** an [AI C-suite](ai/agents/executive/README.md) · 20 full departments · 107 AI agents · 16 starter kits · every folder self-indexes via its own `README.md`.

---

## Two sides, so it's easy to customize

The repository is split down the middle. Know which side you're on and customization is obvious:

| | [handbook/](handbook/README.md) — what humans **read** | [ai/](ai/README.md) — what the AI **runs on** |
|---|---|---|
| **Contains** | Company identity, governance, 20 department manuals, workflows, standards, playbooks, templates, guides | 107 agent specs (an executive C-suite + 20 divisions), the orchestration kernel, the memory system |
| **You edit it to** | Describe how *your* company works | Change which agents exist and how work is routed |
| **Audience** | Founders, employees, new hires | The agent workforce |

---

## How to customize

Company OS ships complete. Making it *yours* is mostly **deleting what you don't need** and **filling in
who you are**. Do it in this order:

**1. Make it your company** *(~30 min)* — edit these five files. They are the only place your identity is
defined; everything else refers back to them.
[mission](handbook/company/mission.md) · [vision](handbook/company/vision.md) · [principles](handbook/company/principles.md) · [structure](handbook/company/structure.md) · [roles](handbook/company/roles.md)

**2. Pick a starter kit** *(~10 min)* — choose the [kit](#starter-kits) matching your company type. It tells
you which departments to activate first and adds domain standards. Delete the other kits.

**3. Keep only the departments you need** *(~30 min)* — you don't need all twenty on day one. A typical
early-stage software company runs `product`, `engineering`, `design`, `post-launch`, `strategy`.
To remove one: delete `handbook/departments/<name>/` and `ai/agents/<name>/`, drop its rows from the
indexes, remove it from `DEPARTMENT_NAMES` in [scripts/check-structure.py](scripts/check-structure.py), then
run the checks below.
To add one: `python scripts/scaffold.py department <name>`.

**4. Choose your agents** *(~20 min)* — open [ai/agents/README.md](ai/agents/README.md), keep the agents
you'll actually run, delete the rest. To add one: `python scripts/scaffold.py agent <department> <agent-name>`.

**5. Tune the rules** *(ongoing)* — adjust [quality gates](handbook/governance/quality-gates.md), the
[decision framework](handbook/governance/decision-framework.md), and each department's `standards.md` to
match how strict you want to be.

### What to edit, at a glance

| | Files | Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| ✏️ **Always** | `handbook/company/*`, `ai/agents/*` | This *is* your company and your workforce |
| ⚙️ **Often** | department `standards.md`, `metrics.md`, `quality-gates.md`, `governance/*` | Tune to your bar |
| 📖 **Read, don't edit** | `handbook/guides/*` | Guidance for you, not config |
| 🔒 **Leave alone** | `handbook/templates/*`, `STRUCTURE.md`, `scripts/*`, `.github/*` | The framework that keeps it consistent |

### Verify your changes

```bash
python scripts/check-links.py        # every internal link resolves
python scripts/check-structure.py    # departments + agent specs conform
python scripts/check-conventions.py  # README per folder, no placeholder text
```

All three run in CI on every push and PR. If you removed a department, `check-links.py` points you at every
link that still references it.

## The founder journey

The end-to-end path a company travels, with the exact doc for each phase. The [Company-Building Guide](handbook/guides/company-building-guide.md) narrates the whole arc.

| Phase | Go to |

| **0 · Brainstorm** | [ideation](handbook/departments/research/ideation.md) · [playbook](handbook/playbooks/brainstorming-ideas.md) |
| **1 · Validate the idea** | [idea validation](handbook/departments/strategy/idea-validation.md) · [product discovery](handbook/departments/product/discovery.md) · [playbook](handbook/playbooks/validating-an-idea.md) |
| **2 · Assess & rank** | [technology readiness (TRL)](handbook/departments/research/technology-readiness.md) · [opportunity scoring](handbook/departments/research/opportunity-scoring.md) · [market analysis](handbook/departments/strategy/market-analysis.md) |
| **3 · Business model** | [business model & pricing](handbook/departments/strategy/business-model.md) · [unit economics](handbook/departments/strategy/unit-economics.md) |
| **4 · Build** | [SDLC](handbook/workflows/sdlc.md) · [MVP playbook](handbook/playbooks/building-an-mvp.md) · [engineering](handbook/departments/engineering/README.md) · [design](handbook/departments/design/README.md) |
| **5 · Launch** | [launch playbook](handbook/playbooks/launching-a-product.md) · [release management](handbook/departments/post-launch/release-management.md) |

## Starter kits

Preconfigured company types that inherit core Company OS and add domain deltas — see [starter-kits/](starter-kits/README.md).

[ai-startup](starter-kits/ai-startup/) · [saas](starter-kits/saas/) · [developer-tools](starter-kits/developer-tools/) · [enterprise-b2b](starter-kits/enterprise-b2b/) · [marketplace](starter-kits/marketplace/) · [consumer-app](starter-kits/consumer-app/) · [robotics](starter-kits/robotics/) · [drone](starter-kits/drone/) · [embedded](starter-kits/embedded/) · [iot](starter-kits/iot/) · [research-lab](starter-kits/research-lab/) · [fintech](starter-kits/fintech/) · [healthtech](starter-kits/healthtech/) · [climate-tech](starter-kits/climate-tech/) · [gaming](starter-kits/gaming/) · [edtech](starter-kits/edtech/)

## Automation

| Script | Purpose |
|---|---|
| [scripts/scaffold.py](scripts/scaffold.py) | Scaffold a new department or agent from the templates |
| [scripts/check-links.py](scripts/check-links.py) | Every internal link resolves |
| [scripts/check-structure.py](scripts/check-structure.py) | Departments and agent specs conform |
| [scripts/check-conventions.py](scripts/check-conventions.py) | Every folder self-indexes; no placeholder text |

The three checkers run in CI on every push and PR ([.github/](.github/), which also holds issue/PR
templates, code of conduct, security policy, support, funding, and a stale-issue bot).

---

## Design philosophy

- **Two clean sides** — [handbook/](handbook/README.md) for humans, [ai/](ai/README.md) for the agent workforce. Customization is obvious because the boundary is obvious.
- **Modular & industry-agnostic** — supports SaaS, AI, robotics, embedded, IoT, hardware, drones, healthcare, fintech, climate tech, research labs, developer tools, consumer, and enterprise.
- **Same structure everywhere** — every department uses the [standard structure](STRUCTURE.md#standard-department-structure); every agent uses the [standard spec](ai/agents/agent-template.md). Predictability makes the system extensible.
- **Evidence over assumptions · first principles · long-term value** — see [handbook/company/principles.md](handbook/company/principles.md).
- **Production-ready, never placeholder** — every document is written to actually be used.
