OpenPAUL

Plan-Apply-Unify Loop — Structured AI-assisted development

Get Started Read Guides

Loop Integrity

Every plan closes with UNIFY. No orphan plans, no forgotten decisions.

In-Session Context

Keep development in-session with properly managed context. Quality over subagent sprawl.

Acceptance-Driven

Acceptance criteria are first-class citizens. Define done before starting.

State Persistence

Resume work across sessions. State, decisions, and progress are always preserved.

npx openpaul

# Inside OpenCode, use the loop
/openpaul:plan     # Create an executable plan
