Atlas Method

**v2 is being built in the open.** The method core on `master` is v2 machinery (constitutions, JSONL+CLI, session hook, adapters, watchdog, installer). The v1 method docs below remain current for v1 users until the rename-swap. Track progress at [issue #38](https://github.com/DamianBuilds-ai/atlas-method/issues/38).

*Lean-by-design methodology for running your life through Claude Code.*

A forest of skills (your slash commands), each rooted in its own small domain and governed by one set of behavioural rules. Kept lean so context - the scarcest resource in any AI session - is never wasted. Agents do the work.

Install the plugin, run the init skill, and you have a working personal operating system on Claude Code in under 20 minutes.

Forest model diagram: CLAUDE.md is the always-loaded soil at the top, feeding three domains (A, B, C). Domain A expands into its trunk (DOMAIN.md), which branches into a QUEUE and HANDOFF plus two specialised leaf docs. A legend maps colours to soil, domain, trunk, branch and leaf.

Install

claude plugin marketplace add DamianBuilds-ai/atlas-method
claude plugin install atlas-method@damianbuilds

Then run `/atlas-method:atlas-init` from your project directory to scaffold the starter files.

[INSTALL.md](plugins/atlas-method/INSTALL.md) covers everything else: sparse checkout (recommended), trying without installing, migrating from a hand-installed setup, hooks that need manual wiring, updating, and uninstalling.

For Windows or plugin-averse setups, a manual clone fallback
