What Changed
With the release of npx oneie agent, we’ve completely overhauled the CLI documentation to serve two audiences:
- AI Agents - Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot
- Human Developers - Interactive CLI users
Result: Documentation that works for both audiences, following the “Agent Experience First” philosophy.
New Documentation Structure
1. cli/README.md (Updated)
Purpose: Primary reference for both humans and AI agents
What Changed:
Reorganized Quick Start
Before:
## Quick Start
npx oneie
After:
## 📦 Quick Start
# Option 1: For AI Agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
npx oneie agent # Zero interaction, auto-detects context
# Option 2: For Humans (Interactive)
npx oneie # Interactive setup with prompts
Why: Prioritize the agent workflow while keeping human workflow accessible.
New “Agent Command” Section
Complete documentation covering:
- What the agent command does (zero interaction, smart detection, safe execution)
- Auto-detection capabilities (user, organization, website)
- Detection priority chain (CLI flags > Claude > git > files > defaults)
- All available flags with examples
- Common workflows (agent setup, CI/CD, custom context)
- Error handling and troubleshooting
2,500+ words of comprehensive agent documentation.
Enhanced “Interactive Command” Section
Preserved existing human-first documentation:
- Guided setup process
- Interactive prompts explanation
- Force interactive flag
- Step-by-step walkthrough
2. cli/llms.txt (NEW)
Purpose: Dedicated documentation for LLMs and AI coding assistants
258 lines covering:
For AI Agents Section
- Why agent mode exists
- Agent detection explanation
- Context detection priority chain
- When to use agent vs interactive
Usage Examples
# Basic (fully automatic)
npx oneie agent
# With explicit Claude context
npx oneie agent \
--claude-user="Jane Smith" \
--claude-email="[email protected]" \
--claude-org="My Startup"
# Quiet mode for CI/CD
npx oneie agent --quiet
# Dry run (preview changes)
npx oneie agent --dry-run
# Verbose (show detected agent type)
npx oneie agent --verbose
What Gets Created
- Complete list of files and directories
- Explanation of each component
- Directory structure visualization
Next Steps After Setup
claude # Start Claude Code
/one # Show control center
/chat [idea] # Start conversation
/build # Build features
Available Flags
- Context flags:
--name,--email,--claude-user,--claude-org,--org,--website - Behavior flags:
--quiet,--verbose,--dry-run,--skip-web - Environment variables:
CLAUDE_USER_NAME,CLAUDE_ORG_NAME, etc.
Common Workflows
- AI agent sets up project
- CI/CD integration example
- Claude Code with custom context
Error Handling
- What happens when detection fails
- How to fix common issues
- Rollback behavior
Performance Metrics
- Setup time: 5-10s (vs 2-3 minutes)
- Context detection: < 1s
- Total improvement: 98% faster
Agent Experience Philosophy
“Agent Experience First” - The CLI is designed so agents never get stuck on prompts they can’t answer. If an agent accidentally runs the interactive command, it will detect the environment, show a helpful error message, suggest the correct command, and exit cleanly without hanging.
3. cli/package.json (Updated)
Changed Description:
Before:
{
"description": "Build apps, websites, and AI agents in English..."
}
After:
{
"description": "Build apps, websites, and AI agents in English. Zero-interaction setup for AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf). Download to your computer, run in the cloud, deploy to the edge. Open source and free forever."
}
Added llms.txt to Published Files:
{
"files": [
"dist",
"README.md",
"llms.txt", // <- NEW
"LICENSE.md",
"SECURITY.md",
"CLAUDE.md",
"AGENTS.md",
"one/knowledge",
// ... rest
]
}
Result: llms.txt included in every npm package installation.
4. web/llms.txt (NEW)
Purpose: Complete reference for AI agents working with the web codebase
420 lines covering:
Project Overview
- Astro 5, React 19, Tailwind v4, shadcn/ui stack
- TypeScript 5.9+ with strict mode
- Progressive complexity architecture
For AI Agents: Development Workflow
Critical reading order:
CLAUDE.md- Complete instructionsAGENTS.md- Quick reference patterns/one/knowledge/ontology.md- 6-dimension ontology/one/knowledge/astro-effect-simple-architecture.md- Progressive complexity
The 6-Dimension Ontology
- Groups - Multi-tenant isolation
- People - Authorization & governance
- Things - All entities (66 types)
- Connections - Relationships (25 types)
- Events - Actions & audit trail (67 types)
- Knowledge - AI understanding (embeddings)
Progressive Complexity Architecture (5 Layers)
Layer 1: Content + Pages (80% of features)
---
import { getCollection } from "astro:content";
const products = await getCollection("products");
---
<Layout>
{products.map(product => (
<ThingCard thing={product.data} type="product" />
))}
</Layout>
Layer 2-5: Only add when needed (validation → state → providers → backend)
Golden Rule: Start at Layer 1. Add layers only when you feel the pain.
Frontend-First Development (Default Mode)
CRITICAL: All agents default to frontend-only unless explicitly requested.
When building features:
- Build ONLY frontend code by default
- Use client-side state management (nanostores)
- Integrate third-party services via direct API calls
- Store data in browser (localStorage) or third-party services
- NEVER create backend code unless explicitly requested
Backend is ONLY needed when user says:
- “Use backend”
- “Add groups” (multi-tenant)
- “Add multi-user” (collaboration)
- “Track events” (audit trail)
- “Build RAG” (embeddings)
- “Real-time updates” (WebSocket)
Pattern Convergence (98% Accuracy)
ONE Pattern (Good):
<ThingCard thing={product} type="product" />
<ThingCard thing={course} type="course" />
<PersonCard person={user} />
<EventItem event={event} />
Anti-Pattern (Bad):
<ProductCard product={product} />
<CourseCard course={course} />
<UserProfile user={user} />
Result: 3 patterns vs 4+ patterns. 98% AI accuracy vs 30%.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ❌ Creating custom tables instead of 6 dimensions
- ❌ Forgetting to filter by groupId
- ❌ Using client:load for all components
- ❌ Creating different card types per entity
5. web/public/llms.txt (Updated)
Purpose: Served at https://one.ie/llms.txt for web crawlers
260 lines covering:
Quick Start for AI Agents
Added prominent quick start section:
# Zero-interaction setup
npx oneie agent
# With Claude context
npx oneie agent \
--claude-user="Your Name" \
--claude-org="Your Organization"
# After setup
claude # Start Claude Code
/one # Show control center
/build # Build features

Documentation Philosophy
Dual-Audience Design

- Clear priority chains
- Error handling explained
For Humans:
- Natural language explanations
- Conceptual overviews
- Step-by-step workflows

Agent Experience First
Core principles:
- Never assume context - AI agents don’t have implicit knowledge
- Show, don’t tell - Code examples over descriptions
- Be explicit - No ambiguous instructions
- Provide fallbacks - Always show what to do when something fails
- Use consistent patterns - Same structure across all docs

- Explicit command:
npx oneie agent - Never gets stuck (agent detection)
Result: AI agents can confidently set up ONE Platform without human intervention.
For Human Developers
Before:
- README mixed agent and human workflows
- Unclear which command to use
- Limited troubleshooting guidance
After:
- Clear “For Humans” section
