5-Day AI Dev OS Adoption Roadmap

Getting engineering teams aligned under a shared, zero-drift AI configuration doesn't require sweeping repository changes. This tool-neutral, step-by-step roadmap outlines how to fully integrate multimodel-dev-os within a business week.

Horizontal Milestones

The timeline maps the progress from a fresh install to automated pull request verifications:

---

Day 1: Install & Scaffold (Scaffold the CLI)

• Objective: Deploy the zero-dependency CLI scaffolding pipeline.
• Tasks:
  1. Initialize the shared directories and central core files:

     npx multimodel-dev-os@latest init

  2. Confirm that target folders (.ai/context, .ai/skills, .ai/session-logs) exist.
  3. Run a dry-run check to verify setup constraints:

     npx multimodel-dev-os@latest init --dry-run

---

Day 2: Fill Project Memory (Core Workspace Contracts)

• Objective: Author the central single source of truth files.
• Tasks:
  1. Edit [AGENTS.md](file:///f:/multimodel-dev-os/AGENTS.md) — detail your project overview, technology stack, build commands, and strict directory boundaries (no-touch blocks).
  2. Edit [MEMORY.md](file:///f:/multimodel-dev-os/MEMORY.md) — log architectural decisions, third-party credentials rules, and project milestones.
  3. Verify file placement is correct inside the root folder.

---

Day 3: Configure Skills & Checks (Custom Prompt Packs)

• Objective: Assemble reusable instructions for common development routines.
• Tasks:
  1. Author specific command workflows inside [.ai/skills/](file:///f:/multimodel-dev-os/.ai/skills/) (e.g. database setup scripts, feature-specific build guidelines).
  2. Define validation constraints in [.ai/checks/](file:///f:/multimodel-dev-os/.ai/checks/) (e.g. regression checks, test coverage parameters).
  3. Edit [.ai/prompts/](file:///f:/multimodel-dev-os/.ai/prompts/) to establish output formatting expectations.

---

Day 4: Mount Adapters & Handoff Logs (Sync Environments)

• Objective: Synchronize the central rules with IDE settings and terminal agents.
• Tasks:
  1. Synchronize all adapters using the sync command:

     npx multimodel-dev-os@latest adapter sync all --approved

  2. Confirm that .cursorrules, CLAUDE.md, and .vscode/settings.json mirror the central instructions properly.
  3. Execute a local hand-off by creating a session log template inside .ai/session-logs/ to pass context between agents.

---

Day 5: Run Audits & Foster Team Reuse (Compliance & CI/CD)

• Objective: Guard workspace structure health and enforce linter checkups.
• Tasks:
  1. Run the local structure verification:

     npx multimodel-dev-os@latest validate

  2. Add validation gates to pre-commit hooks or CI workflows (e.g. .github/workflows/verify.yml).
  3. Run diagnostic checkups using the doctor command:

     npx multimodel-dev-os@latest doctor

  4. Educate the engineering team on executing validations before pushing code blocks.
