AI community

Description

AI Subscription first - no API key. A lightweight, file-based, dependency-free workspace structure for AI agents.

Installation

This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no exact command to give. Open the source below and copy the folder into ~/.claude/skills/, or the file into ~/.claude/agents/.

README

The Truss wordmark resting just above the top chord of a flat truss. Between the two chords, spanning their full width, runs one spaced line — plain Markdown, lightweight, token-lean, memory. The lower chord is an unbroken accent line running end to end — the project's memory — with the four canonical files hanging from it: VISION.md, current.md, decisions.md, phases.md. A truss carries a load across a distance without support in the middle; Truss carries a project across the distance between sessions.

Every session starts warm.

Truss

**A workspace for AI agents: one folder of plain Markdown that holds vision, decisions, phases, and current state, so every session resumes where the last one stopped instead of starting from zero.** **No API keys. Truss never calls a model; it runs on the AI subscription you already pay for.** **Ideal for working out and validating ideas, planning, building, and more.**

A truss is a light frame of struts that carries a structure's load and holds its shape without being the building itself. Truss does the same for a project built with AI agents: a thin frame your work rests on, never a replacement for it.

What is Truss

Every new session with a coding agent starts from zero. You re-explain the project, the agent re-reads half the repo, an
