# ariadnev documentation

ariadnev is a local-first command-line tool for people who work with coding agents. It does two things:

- **Installs a curated kit** of Agent Skills, specialist agents, rules, scripts, and Claude Code hooks into the providers you use — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, Antigravity, or a generic agent tree — writing each artifact only where the target path and format are verified.
- **Runs provider-neutral workflow graphs** through `av run`: a durable local executor that compiles a canonical graph, decides policy before any provider acts, and records event-sourced, resumable state outside your workspace.

The standalone binary needs no Node runtime. `ariadnev` and `av` are the same command.

## Start here

- [Installation](/en/stable/get-started/installation/) — one command per platform, sha256-verified.
- [Your first install](/en/stable/get-started/first-install/) — pick providers and scope, read the receipt, check with `doctor`.
- [Upgrading](/en/stable/guides/upgrading/) — `av update` keeps the binary current.

## Understand it

- [The kit and the adapt engine](/en/stable/concepts/kit-and-adapt-engine/) — what gets installed, where, and why a target is skipped rather than guessed.
- [Graph execution](/en/stable/concepts/graph-execution/) — the `av run` lifecycle: compile, policy, execute, checkpoint, proof.
- [Evaluation](/en/stable/concepts/evaluation/) — what the quality tiers prove and what they deliberately do not.

## Reference

Generated from the release itself, so it cannot drift from the binary you installed:

## Coming from vcskill?

ariadnev is the renamed continuation of vcskill. Nothing migrates itself, on purpose; the [migration guide](/en/stable/guides/migration-from-vcskill/) is a short one-time cleanup.
