Lion's Paw Runtime
The Agentic Operating System
A Rust-based, trait-driven runtime for coordinating multi-model agent teams. Built for builders who treat AI like a production system — not a chat window.
$ npx lionspaw initInitializing Lion's Paw Runtime v0.1.0...Ready. CLAUDE.md generated.Everything the runtime ships with
Multi-Agent Orchestration
Spawn, coordinate, and retire agents with deterministic handoffs. File ownership is enforced — no two agents touch the same file.
Cross-Model Review
Claude writes, GPT reviews. Breaking the echo chamber is the single highest-leverage quality gate we've found.
Pipeline Automation
Git hooks, pre-commit gates, anti-slop checks, and gap analysis — all enforced before a line merges. Quality isn't optional.
Context Engineering
CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, skills, and handoff checkpoints. Context is your most valuable resource — the runtime manages it deliberately.
Memory Systems
Four memory types — user, feedback, project, reference — persisted to file and indexed for recall. Agents accumulate expertise across sessions.
Tool Integration
MCP-native tool wiring. Auggie for codebase search, GitNexus for impact graphs, Firecrawl for research, kanban-md for task persistence.
Advanced Capabilities
Intelligence That Compounds
Every feature below is a runtime PRD — shipping in phases. The platform gets smarter the more you use it.
Internal War Room
Real-time agent coordination dashboard. Monitor live status of all running agents, delegation chains, and task completion.
Agent Hierarchy
Chief-of-Staff delegation pattern. Build org charts for your agents with automatic task routing and approval queues.
CLI Delegation
Agents delegate subtasks to CLI tools autonomously. npm, git, docker, kubectl — your agents operate the terminal.
Self-Improving Skills
Agents learn and refine their own skill definitions over time. Performance improves with every execution cycle.
Knowledge Graph Memory
Persistent graph-based memory across sessions. Agents remember relationships, decisions, and context — not just facts.
Software Factory
Agents build software projects end-to-end. From spec to scaffolding to tests to deployment — fully autonomous.
Browser Automation
Agents browse the web with full page interaction. Research, form filling, data extraction, and visual verification.
Voice Interface
Talk to your agents with natural language. Voice commands, verbal status updates, and conversational task delegation.
