About

A Claude Code configuration for agentic development flows. Scopes scaffold the work, git records the truth. Structure before code, verification before claims, delegation over heroics.

Philosophy

• Scope — Research, validate requirements, create tracking documents
• Delegate — Fresh subagent per task with quality gates
• Review — Review completed work before continuing
• Repeat — Update scope, continue cycle, mark done

Supporting principles:

• Test-driven by default — Red, green, refactor
• Fresh context per task — Subagents prevent pollution
• Evidence over assertion — Verify before claiming done
• Parallelize when independent — Dependency trees unlock concurrency
• Sequential when dependent — Respect the critical path

Plugins

• skills — Scope pipeline, code quality, task execution
• agents — Implementer, reviewer, tester

Development

The loqui reference is not bundled with tropos. Point skills/loqui/reference/loqui at a local loqui checkout to activate the loqui skill:

mise run loqui-link               # symlinks to a cache dir, cloning from github if missing
mise run loqui-link --path ./foo  # custom path (must exist)
mise run loqui-unlink             # remove the symlink

The default cache location is $XDG_CACHE_HOME/tropos/loqui if set, else ~/Library/Caches/tropos/loqui on macOS, else ~/.cache/tropos/loqui. The symlink path is gitignored.
