APOS Beta

APOS (AI Project Operating System) is a project-governance and continuity layer for software projects. It helps implementation agents preserve project intent, architecture consistency, decision history, task ownership, documentation accuracy, and durable project knowledge.

APOS does not replace implementation agents. It guides them and keeps project state synchronized with validated reality.

Objectives

Use APOS to reduce documentation drift, architecture drift, context loss, task and ownership ambiguity, forgotten technical decisions, worktree conflicts, and knowledge fragmentation. Favor project integrity without introducing process heavier than the change requires.

Repository Detection

Before any non-trivial work, detect the repository state and choose the appropriate mode. Do not treat an empty repository as evidence that the project has no intent, and do not invent product requirements to fill missing context.

Classify the repository as one of these modes:
