Quick Start

Install

Option 1: Install via Agent Skills (Recommended)

npx skills add lordmos/dev-crew

Automatically installs the DevCrew protocol into your AI agent (supports Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, and 44+ platforms).

See skills.sh

Option 2: Install via CLI

npm install -g @lordmos/dev-crew

Requires Node.js 18+

Initialize Your Project

cd your-project
crew init

For specific platforms (auto-creates platform instruction files):

crew init --platform copilot    # → .github/copilot-instructions.md
crew init --platform cursor     # → .cursorrules
crew init --platform claude     # → CLAUDE.md
crew init -p copilot cursor     # Multiple platforms at once

crew init creates:

your-project/
├── INSTRUCTIONS.md    ← AI behavior instructions (core file)
├── dev-crew.yaml       ← Project configuration
└── dev-crew/
    ├── resume.md      ← Orchestration state
    ├── blockers.md    ← Issue tracking
    ├── specs/         ← Shared specifications
    ├── memory/        ← Agent long-term memory
    └── templates/     ← Document format templates

Start Working

After initialization, open your AI assistant (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, etc.) and describe what you need in natural language. The AI automatically reads INSTRUCTIONS.md and follows the PDEVI workflow:

You: I need to add auth middleware to the API

AI:  [PdM] Creating change add-api-auth, mode: Standard
     Plan — Requirements:
     - Goal: Add JWT auth to all /api/ routes
     - Acceptance: [ ] No token → 401  [ ] Expired token → 401
     Please confirm.

You: Confirmed

AI:  Design → Execute → Verify — All passed. Please confirm acceptance.

You: Confirmed

AI:  [OK] Change add-api-auth complete.

You only confirm twice (requirements + results). Everything else is automatic.

💡 Besides natural language, you can also trigger Skills via CLI (crew plan) or MCP Server. See the Guide for details.
