Advanced AI Programming with SDD

Better Code.
Powered by AI.

AC Framework enables AI assistants to program better with advanced methodologies and Spec-Driven Development (SDD). Structured workflows for superior code quality.

$ npm install -g ac-framework

Built for Better AI Programming

Spec-Driven Development

Built-in SDD workflow that guides AI through structured development phases for higher quality code.

Advanced Methodologies

Enforces best practices, design patterns, and architectural principles for maintainable code.

One Command Setup

acfm init configures your project with SDD workflows and methodology rules instantly.

Quality Assurance

Built-in verification ensures AI-generated code meets specs with testing and validation workflows.

Optimized Modes for Real Projects

Keep maximum quality with two execution profiles: high-load optimization for complex changes, and lite mode for lower token usage with strict quality gates.

High Load

Optimized for Heavy Workloads

Full-depth execution for large codebases, complex refactors, and high-risk architectural changes.

  • Expands analysis and validation depth across modules.
  • Activates broader quality and security checks by default.
  • Designed for high-complexity and high-impact implementations.
Lite

Lower Token Cost with Gates

Loads only essential workflow skills first, then activates additional skills only when risk gates are triggered.

  • Core flow first: new/continue/apply/verify/archive.
  • Conditional skills for security, testing, API, UI, and performance.
  • Mandatory implementation and archive quality gates remain enforced.
OpenSpec

Full OpenSpec Compatibility

AC Framework keeps complete compatibility with OpenSpec workflows while using the built-in acfm spec commands.

  • Supports both .acfm/ and legacy openspec/ directories.
  • Automatic directory detection with safe fallback behavior.
  • Smooth adoption path without breaking existing projects.

AI Collaboration Platform, Not Just Prompts

AC Framework combines structured implementation workflows, collaborative multi-agent execution, and persistent memory with MCP integrations so your assistants behave like a coordinated engineering team.

SynapseGrid

Collaborative Agent Team

SynapseGrid runs a real role-based engineering loop with planner, critic, coder, and reviewer in coordinated rounds, where each role sees accumulated context.

  • Turn-by-turn collaboration instead of isolated fan-out responses.
  • Per-role model control and interactive model selection from providers.
  • Zellij-first runtime with tmux fallback and managed installer support.

Transparency

No Black Box Execution

Every session is persisted with readable logs, summaries, diagnostics, and raw captures, so users can inspect what each agent said and did.

  • Automatic artifacts: transcript, meeting log, final summary, diagnostics.
  • Raw per-turn OpenCode stream captures for audits and debugging.
  • Live artifact monitoring from CLI.

NexusVault

Persistent Memory: Built-In AI Brain

NexusVault gives your assistants long-lived memory so architecture decisions, bugfix patterns, conventions, and context survive across sessions.

  • SQLite local-first memory database at ~/.acfm/memory.db.
  • Recall, search, timeline, patterns, anticipate, and export/import tools.
  • Privacy-aware redaction for sensitive blocks before memory save.

MCP + Workflow

MCP Integrations and Structured Delivery

AC Framework exposes both memory and collaborative runtimes through MCP servers, while keeping implementation disciplined with spec-driven workflows.

  • MCP servers: ac-framework-memory and ac-framework-collab.
  • Recommended async collab run mode for robust end-to-end sessions.
  • OpenSpec compatibility: supports both .acfm/ and legacy openspec/.

acfm agents runtime install-zellij acfm agents runtime set zellij acfm agents doctor acfm agents transcript --role all --limit 40 acfm agents summary acfm agents export --format md --out session.md

Security and reliability by design: artifact creation is runtime-owned (not prompt-dependent), external links are isolated with safe target attributes, and session observability is deterministic across running, failed, and stopped states.
