## The Problem
Current AI coding is often one-off and ad-hoc. You get code, but you don't get a repeatable process. This leads to inconsistent quality, wasted tokens, and a lack of long-term learning.
## The Solution
Gem Team wraps your AI with a disciplined engineering delivery system. It enforces good software engineering practices automatically, so you get better results with less effort.
## Why Gem Team?
- **Quality by Default**: TDD, code reviews, and security audits happen automatically. No more "vibe coding" that breaks in production.
- **Smart & Efficient**: Optimized for fewer tokens and lower costs. Progressive context management prevents bloat and keeps your AI focused.
- **Works With Your Tools**: Seamless integration with Copilot, Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, and Windsurf. Use your preferred environment.
- **Learns & Improves**: Remembers what works and extracts reusable skills. Your AI gets smarter and more efficient over time.
**TL;DR:** Gem Team turns AI coding into a structured, repeatable engineering process with built-in quality, efficiency, and learning.
## Quick Start
Install [APM](https://microsoft.github.io/apm/) first:
```bash
# macOS / Linux
curl -sSL https://aka.ms/apm-unix | sh
# Windows PowerShell
irm https://aka.ms/apm-windows | iex
# Verify
apm --version
```
Install Gem Team into your current project:
```bash
apm install mubaidr/gem-team --target copilot,claude,cursor,opencode,codex,gemini,windsurf
```
Or install for one target only:
```bash
apm install mubaidr/gem-team --target copilot
```
After the first install, commit the generated APM files that belong to your repo, especially `apm.yml`, `apm.lock.yaml`, and the generated harness directories such as `.github/`, `.claude/`, `.cursor/`, `.opencode/`, `.codex/`, `.gemini/`, or `.windsurf/`. Do **not** commit `apm_modules/`.
> APM can auto-detect targets from existing harness directories, but explicit `--target` is recommended for predictable installs and fresh repositories.
## The Process
Gem Team uses a structured workflow to turn AI coding into a reliable engineering process:
1. **Plan**: Analyze the task, break it down, and create a structured plan with verification gates.
2. **Build**: Implement features using TDD, following best practices and design patterns.
3. **Review**: Automated code reviews, security audits, and accessibility checks at every step.
4. **Learn**: Extract reusable skills and patterns from successful tasks to improve future performance.
## Features
- **Automated Quality Gates**: TDD, code reviews, and security/accessibility audits happen automatically.
- **Effortless Context**: Progressive context management prevents bloat and keeps your AI focused.
- **Smart Routing**: Tasks are automatically routed to the right agents based on complexity.
- **Reusable Knowledge**: High-confidence patterns and skills are extracted and reused for future tasks.
- **Cost Efficiency**: Model routing and output hygiene ensure you only use the tokens you need.
## How it Works
Gem Team installs a set of specialized agents that work together under the guidance of an Orchestrator. This team follows a disciplined workflow that includes planning, implementation, verification, and learning.
- **Specialist Agents**: Dedicated agents for planning, research, implementation, review, and more.
- **Orchestration**: An Orchestrator coordinates the team, ensuring tasks are completed in the right order and verified at every step.
- **Context Management**: A shared context envelope ensures every agent has the information it needs without redundant reads or wasted tokens.
### Agent Roles
| Role | Description |
| :--------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Orchestrator** | Coordinates the workflow and ensures all tasks are completed correctly. |
| **Planner** | Breaks down complex tasks into manageable steps. |
| **Implementer** | Writes the code using TDD and best practices. |
| **Reviewer** | Verifies code quality, security, and compliance with requirements. |
| **Debugger** | Diagnoses and fixes bugs with root-cause analysis. |
| **Researcher** | Explores the codebase and finds the best patterns to use. |
## Compatible Tools
Gem Team works with your favorite AI coding tools:
| Tool | Harness | Description |
| :----------- | :------------------ | :----------------------------------- |
| **Copilot** | `.github/agents/` | VS Code Copilot / GitHub Copilot CLI |
| **Claude** | `.claude/agents/` | Claude Code |
| **Cursor** | `.cursor/agents/` | Cursor |
| **OpenCode** | `.opencode/agents/` | OpenCode |
| **Codex** | `.codex/agents/` | Codex CLI |
| **Gemini** | `GEMINI.md` | Gemini CLI |
| **Windsurf** | `.windsurf/rules/` | Windsurf / Cascade |
## Configuration
Gem Team is designed to work out of the box with smart defaults. You can customize behavior by editing the `AGENTS.md` file or specific agent definitions in the `.apm/agents/` directory.
