README

JADO

JADO (Just Another Design Orchestrator) is a design method for AI coding tools. It routes a design request to one of eight routes and gives the agent the procedures, profiles and review steps for that workflow. Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode each get native agent profiles and skills.

This repository contains the method sources, a command-line installer and the playbook site that documents every workflow with a Mermaid diagram.

Requirements

Node.js 22.22 or later. The CLI imports TypeScript files directly, which earlier versions cannot do.
npm.
Git, and network access to GitHub during install and update.
At least one of Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode.

Install

Clone the repository and install its dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/mattiamichini-design/jado.git
cd jado
npm ci

Then install JADO for your user:

npm run jado -- install --global

The command asks which tools to set up, prints the plan and waits for confirmation. To choose the tools up front, pass `--agents`:

npm run jado -- install --global --agents claude-code,codex,opencode

Keep the checkout after installing. Updates and refreshes run from it.

Start a new session in your AI tool afterwards. Tools load profiles and skills when a session starts, so an open session keeps its old instructions.

Use it

Ask for design work as usual: a screen, a flow, a review, alternatives to compare. The instruction block that JADO adds tells the agent to read `~/.jado/instructions.md` and pick a route. You can also name the entry point, `jado-run`, or ask `ask-jado` which skill or workflow fits.

Each run has three settings: stage (`explore`, `refine`, `ship`), involvement (`autopilot`, `checkpoints`, `pair`) and budget (`lean`, `normal`, `deep`). Set project defaults with a line in the project instructions, for example `JADO defaults: stage=refine involvement=checkpoints budget=normal`, or change one during a run with `jado: autopilot`.
