GitHub gmelli/aget-cli-agent-template Repository

A GitHub gmelli/aget-cli-agent-template Repository is a CLI agent template framework repository that provides a reference implementation of the CLI Agent Template Framework enabling AI coding assistants to execute development workflows through conversational command patterns.

• AKA: AGET Repository, AGET CLI Agent Template, gmelli AGET Implementation, Universal CLI Agent Template Repository.
• Context:
  • It can typically provide universal AI coding assistant compatibility with Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot through a single AGENTS.md configuration file.
  • It can typically enable conversational session management through natural language commands like wake protocols ("hey"), housekeeping protocols ("tidy up"), and sign-off protocols ("all done").
  • It can typically implement safe-by-default operation modes through dry-run previews, rollback support, and confirmation prompts for all destructive operations.
  • It can typically support session state persistence through .session_state.json files enabling context preservation across AI coding assistant restarts.
  • It can typically provide three template variants including minimal templates (5 patterns), standard templates (15+ patterns), and advanced templates (25+ patterns) for different project complexity levels.
  • It can typically facilitate 30-second installation through Python installer scripts that automatically configure project directoryes with agent-ready patterns.
  • It can typically solve configuration fragmentation problems by replacing tool-specific configuration files like CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, and .aider.conf.yml with a universal AGENTS.md standard.
  • It can often enable emergency recovery protocols through sanity check commands that perform system diagnostics and critical file verification.
  • It can often support documentation quality assessment through documentation grades and automated documentation checks integrated into workflow patterns.
  • It can often implement dogfooding practices where the repository uses its own CLI agent template patterns for self-maintenance and contribution workflows.
  • It can often provide backward compatibility through symbolic links from legacy configuration files to the universal AGENTS.md file.
  • It can often enable progressive safety levels through dry-run modes, modify modes, and reorganize modes for incremental automation adoption.
  • It can range from being a Minimal 5-Pattern Implementation to being an Advanced 25-Pattern Implementation, depending on its template selection.
  • It can range from being a Single-Project Installation to being a Multi-Project Deployment, depending on its installation scope.
  • It can integrate with Git version control systems for smart commits, checkpoint creation, and change tracking.
  • It can connect to Python ecosystems through Python 3 scripts and standard library dependencyes.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Core Pattern Implementations, such as:
    • Session Management Patterns, including:
      • Wake Protocol triggered by "hey" for session initialization.
      • Wind Down Protocol for work session preservation.
      • Sign Off Protocol for graceful session termination.
    • Housekeeping Patterns, including:
      • Tidy Up Protocol for temporary file cleanup.
      • Deep Clean Protocol for comprehensive cleanup with archiving.
      • Spring Clean Protocol for periodic maintenance tasks.
    • Documentation Patterns, including:
      • Check Docs Protocol for documentation quality analysis.
      • Documentation Grade Assignment for quality metrics.
  • Installation Methods, such as:
    • Git Clone Installation using `git clone https://github.com/gmelli/aget-cli-agent-template.git`.
    • Python Installer Execution via `python3 installer/install.py /path/to/project`.
    • Template-Specific Installation with `--template minimal|standard|advanced` command-line options.
  • Supported File Structures, such as:
    • AGENTS.md as universal configuration file.
    • scripts/ directory containing protocol implementations.
    • patterns/ directory organizing reusable workflow patterns.
    • .session_state.json for session persistence.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Tool-Specific Configuration Repository, which lacks universal compatibility across AI coding assistants.
  • Manual CLI Script Collection, which lacks conversational interfaces and pattern discovery.
  • IDE Plugin, which requires graphical interfaces rather than CLI-based interaction.
  • Static Configuration Template, which lacks session management and state persistence.
  • Proprietary Agent Framework, which creates vendor lock-in rather than universal standards.
