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 — one command per platform, sha256-verified.
• Your first install — pick providers and scope, read the receipt, check with doctor.
• Upgrading — av update keeps the binary current.

#Understand it

• The kit and the adapt engine — what gets installed, where, and why a target is skipped rather than guessed.
• Graph execution — the av run lifecycle: compile, policy, execute, checkpoint, proof.
• 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:

• CLI reference
• Provider reference
• Skill catalog
• Workflow reference
• Release notes

#Coming from vcskill?

ariadnev is the renamed continuation of vcskill. Nothing migrates itself, on purpose; the migration guide is a short one-time cleanup.
