## How It Works

```

| Step | What Happens |
|------|--------------|
| **Research** | Discover patterns, libraries, gaps |
| **Plan** | Structured interview captures requirements |
| **Tasks** | Generate task briefs from research + PRD |
| **Review** | Claude validates briefs against codebase |
| **Orchestrate** | Execute in waves (parallel tasks, sequential waves) |
| **Inspect** | Review each PR (manual, Code Review, or Greptile) |

---

## Commands

| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `/karimo:research "feature"` | **Start here** — Create PRD folder + research |
| `/karimo:plan --prd {slug}` | Interactive PRD creation |
| `/karimo:run --prd {slug}` | Brief generation → review → execution |
| `/karimo:merge --prd {slug}` | Final PR to main |
| `/karimo:dashboard` | Monitor progress |
| `/karimo:feedback` | Capture learnings |
| `/karimo:doctor` | Diagnose issues |

## What KARIMO Adds

KARIMO builds on Claude Code's native APIs with custom orchestration:

| Capability | Claude Code (Native) | KARIMO (Custom) |
|------------|---------------------|-----------------|
| **Isolation** | Worktree per agent | + Branch identity verification |
| **Execution** | Task spawning | + Wave-ordered parallelism |
| **Models** | Static `model:` param | + Complexity routing + escalation |
| **Recovery** | Worktree persistence | + Git state reconciliation |
| **Quality** | — | + Semantic loop detection |

**Why custom?** Claude Code provides foundations (worktrees, sub-agents, hooks) but doesn't coordinate task dependencies, detect stuck loops, or recover from crashes. KARIMO adds these as a coordination layer.

Details: [Feature Architecture](.karimo/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md#feature-architecture)

---

## Adoption Phases

| Phase | What You Get |
|-------|--------------|
| **Phase 1** | PRD interviews, agent execution, worktrees, PRs — works out of the box |
| **Phase 2** | Automated review via Greptile ($30/mo) or Claude Code Review |
| **Phase 3** | CLI dashboard with velocity metrics |

Details: [PHASES.md](.karimo/docs/PHASES.md)

---

## Installation

### Via Claude Code marketplace (recommended)

```
/plugin marketplace add opensesh/KARIMO
/plugin install karimo@karimo
/reload-plugins
```

Once Anthropic accepts KARIMO into the official marketplace (in review), this becomes:

```
/plugin install karimo@claude-plugins-official
```

### Via install script (legacy)

```bash
git clone https://github.com/opensesh/KARIMO
bash KARIMO/.karimo/install.sh ./my-project
```

If you previously used `.karimo/update.sh` to sync files into your project's `.claude/plugins/karimo/`, it continues to work but is no longer the recommended path. Plugin-managed installs benefit from Claude Code's built-in update, reload, and scope management.

### Your First Feature

```bash
/karimo:research "feature-name"   # Creates PRD folder + runs research
/karimo:plan --prd {slug}         # Interactive PRD creation (~10 min)
/karimo:run --prd {slug}          # Execute tasks in waves
/karimo:merge --prd {slug}        # Final PR to main
```

**Prerequisites:** [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code), [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/) (`gh auth login`), Git 2.5+

## FAQ

<details>
<summary><strong>Can I run without automated review?</strong></summary>

Yes. Review is optional (Phase 2). PRD interviews, execution, and PRs all work out of the box.

</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Do I need to use a feature branch?</strong></summary>

No. KARIMO supports two modes configured via `/karimo:configure`: feature branch mode (tasks branch from a feature branch) or main mode (tasks branch directly from main). Choose what fits your workflow.

</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Can I run multiple sessions at once?</strong></summary>

Yes, but be careful when running multiple feature branches with worktrees simultaneously. Typically when a feature branch and work trees are kicked off for a PRD, you only want to be doing research and planning on main. With Claude Opus 4.6, we've seen occasional conflicts. For best results, let one orchestration complete before starting another.

</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Do I need to use Greptile?</strong></summary>

No. You can use manual review, Claude Code Review, or any other review mechanism. Greptile is one option for automated review in Phase 2, but it's entirely optional.

</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Is KARIMO modular? What can I configure?</strong></summary>

Yes — modularity was a core design goal. Nearly every decision point is configurable:

| Aspect | Options |
|--------|---------|
| **Review gates** | Manual, Claude Code Review, Greptile, or skip entirely |
| **Branch strategy** | PRs to main directly, or PRs to a feature branch first |
| **Model routing** | Sonnet for speed, Opus for complexity, or always escalate |
| **Boundaries** | `never_touch` files agents can't modify, `require_review` files that get flagged |
| **Templates** | PRD structure, task briefs, commit messages — all editable |
| **Agents & skills** | Modify behavior, add domain-specific skills, or create new agents |
| **Research tools** | Firecrawl, other MCP servers, or your own integrations |
| **Learnings** | Project-specific patterns and anti-patterns agents learn from |

Run `/karimo:configure` to customize, or edit `.karimo/config.yaml` directly.

</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Can I use other tools for research?</strong></summary>

Yes. We use Firecrawl MCP for deeper web research capability. You can integrate any MCP servers or tools that fit your workflow.

</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Can I customize for my use case?</strong></summary>

Yes. You can modify your local installation directly or fork the repository for more extensive customization. Agent definitions, templates, and skills are all editable.

</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Having issues?</strong></summary>

Run `/karimo:doctor` to diagnose. Still stuck? [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
