v2.0.0 - Introducing aspens

What's New

aspens — now available as a standalone npm package

The orchestrator's skill generation, agents, and documentation system is now available as a standalone CLI:

npm install -g aspens

aspens brings the same AI-ready documentation to any repo — no cloning, no symlinks, no setup wizard. Just run aspens doc init and get skills + CLAUDE.md generated from your code.

Quick start

aspens scan .                    # See your repo's tech stack and domains
aspens doc init .                # Generate skills + CLAUDE.md
aspens doc sync --install-hook   # Auto-update on every commit
aspens add agent all             # Add 9 AI agents
aspens customize agents          # Tailor agents to your project

When to use what

• aspens — individual repos, quick setup, zero configuration
• Orchestrator — multi-repo organizations with shared resources and cross-repo documentation sync

Both use the same system of agents, skills, and guidelines. aspens packages it for single-repo use without the shared infrastructure.
