An agent orchestration framework
Genius Team is not a task runner โ€” it's a framework that spawns specialized agents for each phase of your project, keeps memory across sessions, and gates every key decision behind a human checkpoint.

๐ŸŽค Phase 1: Interview

Every project starts with genius-interviewer. It asks the right questions before any work begins โ€” no assumptions, no drift. Output: a validated brief, approved by you.

๐Ÿ“‹ Phase 2: Ideation

Specialized agents spawn for market analysis, specs, design, and architecture. Each phase ends with a human checkpoint โ€” you approve before the next phase launches.

โšก Phase 3: Execution

Agent Teams execute in parallel with git worktree isolation and mandatory QA loops. A Retrospective Engine runs after each phase โ€” feeding learnings back into memory.

๐Ÿง  Cross-Project Memory

Every decision, every lesson, every trade-off is stored. New projects inherit wisdom from past ones. The more you build, the smarter your agents become.

Agents spawn. Phases gate. You decide.
Every project goes through a structured lifecycle: interview โ†’ checkpoint โ†’ specs โ†’ checkpoint โ†’ build โ†’ QA โ†’ deploy. Human approval at every gate.

Choose your workflow
Four modes to match how you work. Switch anytime.
Default โŒจ๏ธ

CLI Mode

Terminal-focused. Full hook system (SessionStart, PreCompact, Stop, PostToolUse). Agent Teams via Shift+Tab.

VS Code ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ

IDE Mode

VS Code & Cursor focused. Installs tasks and rules automatically. Agent Teams via Task().

Multi-Provider ๐ŸŒ

Omni Mode

Claude Code leads, secondary providers (Codex, Kimi, Gemini) handle specialized tasks. Auto-fallback.

Adversarial โš”๏ธ

โš”๏ธ Dual Mode

Two terminals, one project. Claude Code builds, Codex challenges โ€” or vice versa. The /challenge command reads what the other engine just did (via dual-bridge.json) and reviews it automatically, with zero context needed.

Built for serious projects
Everything you need to go from zero to production. 54 skills, interactive playgrounds, persistent memory, anti-drift guard, Auto Mode safety profiles, Computer Use UI testing, CI pipelines, and scheduled tasks.

๐Ÿค– Agent Teams

Built on Claude Code's experimental agent teams. The Lead orchestrates while teammates execute in parallel with git worktree isolation.

๐ŸŽฎ Interactive Playgrounds

12 visual decision-making playgrounds for each phase. See options, make choices, understand trade-offs โ€” all in a guided interface.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Anti-Drift Guard

Keeps Claude on track and prevents going off-rails. Auto-detects when the AI drifts from the plan and brings it back.

  • /guard-check โ€” See current status
  • /guard-recover โ€” Get back on track

๐Ÿง  Persistent Memory

Nothing is ever forgotten between sessions. Memory lives in .genius/memory/ with auto-generated BRIEFING.md loaded at every session.

  • decisions.json โ€” Key decisions
  • patterns.json โ€” Code conventions
  • progress.json โ€” Task tracking
  • errors.json โ€” Resolved solutions

๐Ÿ”„ Mandatory QA Loop

Every task goes through: Dev โ†’ QA-micro โ†’ Fix โ†’ Re-QA โ†’ โœ…. Nothing ships without passing quality assurance.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Save-Token Mode

Toggle /save-tokens to use Sonnet for high-volume roles while keeping Opus for lead and architect. Cut costs without cutting quality.

โœจ v20

๐Ÿค– Agent Spawning

Every skill is now a spawnable sub-agent with its own context, memory, and lifecycle. The orchestrator coordinates โ€” agents execute in isolation. No context pollution.

โœจ v20

โ›” Phase Checkpoints

Between every major phase, the flow pauses and waits for your explicit approval. Review deliverables, request changes, or green-light the next agent spawn. You stay in control.

โœจ v20

๐Ÿ” Retrospective Engine

After every phase, a structured retrospective runs automatically: what worked, what failed, what to carry forward. Written to .genius/memory/retros/ and surfaced in future sessions.

โœจ v20

๐Ÿง  Cross-Project Memory

Decisions, patterns, and lessons accumulate across all your projects โ€” not just within one session. Your agents get smarter every time you build something new.

โœจ v20

๐ŸŒ GEO-SEO Intelligence

Optimize for AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini) AND traditional SEO. Includes llms.txt generation, citability scoring, and AI crawler access validation.

โœจ v20

๐Ÿช™ Web3 Intelligence

genius-crypto connects DexScreener (free, no key), OpenSea NFTs, and Dune MCP on-chain analytics into a unified Web3 intelligence layer for your project.

โœจ v20

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Self-Extending Framework

genius-skill-creator detects recurring project patterns and creates project-specific skills on demand. The framework extends itself to fit your workflow.

โœจ v20

โšก /challenge โ€” True Dual Mode

Open two terminals. Type /challenge in either one to instantly review what the other engine just built โ€” the dual-bridge.json syncs context automatically. No explanation needed.

โœจ v20

๐Ÿ”ฌ Autonomous Experiments

genius-experiments runs optimization loops autonomously: edit โ†’ test โ†’ measure metric โ†’ keep or revert โ†’ log โ†’ repeat. Inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch pattern. Run overnight.

โœจ v20

๐ŸŽฎ Context-Aware Dashboards

genius-playground-generator reads your real project data (specs, market analysis, dev progress, SEO scores) and generates a custom HTML dashboard โ€” not a generic template.

โœจ v20

๐Ÿค– Auto Mode Safety Profiles

genius-auto configures automatic approval policies per skill type โ€” safe actions run hands-free while destructive operations stay gated. Unattended mode for trusted workflows.

โœจ v20

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Computer Use UI Testing

genius-ui-tester uses Claude Code Computer Use to take screenshots, detect visual bugs, validate layouts, check responsive design, and generate visual regression reports.

Common questions

๐Ÿ”„ How do I switch from Claude Code to Codex (or vice versa)?

Run /genius-switch-engine codex inside Claude Code, or: bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/w-3-art/genius-team/main/scripts/switch-engine.sh) codex. Switch to dual to use both simultaneously.

โšก How does /challenge work in dual mode?

Open two terminals: one with claude, one with codex. After each build action, the engine writes to .genius/dual-bridge.json. Type /challenge in either terminal to automatically review what the OTHER engine just did โ€” no context needed.

๐ŸŒ What is GEO-SEO and why does it matter?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes your content to appear in AI search results (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini) โ€” not just Google. genius-seo handles both: llms.txt, citability scoring, AI crawler access + traditional SEO.

๐ŸŽฎ What's the difference between playgrounds and /genius-playground?

The 21 playground templates are generic tools (stack picker, market simulator, etc.). /genius-playground generates a custom dashboard that reads your real project data (specs, market analysis, dev progress) and displays it specifically for your project.

โ“ I get "command not found: claude"

Claude Code CLI isn't installed. Run: curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash then restart your terminal. For Codex: npm install -g @openai/codex.

โ“ I get "permission denied"

The script needs execute permission. Try: chmod +x scripts/setup.sh or simply run with bash scripts/setup.sh

โ“ What is a terminal?

It's the app where you type commands. On Mac: search "Terminal". On Windows: use WSL or Git Bash. On VS Code: press Ctrl+` to open it.

โ“ The command says "my-project" but I want a different name

Replace "my-project" with YOUR project name! Example: ...create.sh) booking-app --engine=claude. No spaces, use dashes.

โ“ Which engine should I choose?

Claude Code if you already use Claude. Codex CLI if you prefer OpenAI. Dual Mode if you want both โ€” Claude builds, Codex reviews, they challenge each other for the best result.

โ“ How does Dual Mode work?

Claude Code acts as Builder (implements features), while Codex CLI acts as Challenger (reviews and critiques). They iterate via shared files in .genius/ until both agree the code is solid.

โ“ AI seems stuck or keeps repeating

Run /guard-check to see if something went wrong. If needed, /guard-recover gets you back on track. Works with both Claude and Codex.

โ“ I closed the terminal and lost my progress

No worries! Just cd back to your project folder, run claude (or codex), then /continue. The memory system in .genius/ remembers everything.

โ“ Do I need a paid subscription?

Yes โ€” Claude Code requires a Claude Pro or API subscription (claude.ai/pricing). Codex CLI requires an OpenAI account. Both have free trials.

โ“ How do I update to a new version?

Run /genius-upgrade inside your project. Or from the terminal: bash <(curl -fsSL .../scripts/upgrade.sh)
