Astraeus

Astraeus Σ-9000 — Orchestration Compiler for Claude Code Sub-Agents
“Future software won’t be written — it will be orchestrated.”

Astraeus Σ-9000 reads your repository and compiles a tailored team of specialized sub-agents for Claude Code. It supports branching, dynamic workflows, can operate in parallel, and keeps track of prior workflows so it can enhance itself and your agent team over time.

Safety Defaults

- No direct code edits by default. Agents generate reports, plans, patches, and diffs, but do not write to files unless you explicitly allow it when starting Astraeus.
- To allow writes, include clear instructions up front (scope, paths, commit policy). Example template:

  Template:
  create  agent for  with direct code editing permission, ensure agent creates commits on start and periodically with commit details

  *(Tip: also specify allowed paths and a target branch.)*

Installation

Place the Astraeus prompt file in a commands folder:

- Project folder (local): ./.claude/commands/
- User folder: ~/.claude/commands/

On your next launch of Claude Code, the /astraeus command will be available.

What Astraeus Does

- Standalone - Capable of creating any agent you request and implementing its agent definition file.
- Repository-aware agent synthesis — Reads your README/docs/source to create role-perfect agents with crisp handoffs.
- Branching & parallel execution — Explore alternatives concurrently; synthesize results into a single, coherent outcome.
- Critic & synthesizer pattern — Built-in evaluation and merger for higher-quality outputs.
- Continuity — Tracks prior workflows/decisions and improves subsequent runs.
- Git-first hygiene — Encourages auditable outputs (patches, diffs, reports) and frequent commits when write access is granted.
