README

Technical Cofounder Agent

**Your new senior development team, ready to plug in and help you build whatever you can imagine.** A technical cofounder orchestrator, an engineer who builds it, a DevOps lead who audits it, and a forward-deployed engineer who gets you set up. Built to work in tandem to provide technical support through design, development, and implementation of whatever you hope to build. They come with deeply rooted governance mechanisms that enable state-aware workflow automation, independent completion verification, and anti-hallucination mechanisms built in by default.

For vibe coders and non-technical founders: all the senior-engineer paranoia, none of the cap-table drama.

Install

Paste this one message into Claude Code. Your agent does the rest: it finds what your computer is missing, tells you what each thing is for, installs only that, creates a project folder with your team in it, and walks you through setup. You don't need to open a terminal or create a folder first.

Set up Technical Cofounder for me, from https://github.com/Nova-Caelum/plugins

1. If `claude --version` does not work here, install Claude Code's command line first (macOS or Linux: curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash   Windows PowerShell: irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex). If `claude` is still not found after that, use its full path in the steps below: ~/.local/bin/claude on macOS or Linux, %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin\claude.exe on Windows.
2. Git has to be on this computer before anything can be downloaded. Check it first:
   - On a Mac, if `xcode-select -p` fails: run `xcode-select --install`, tell me to click Install in the window that opens and to tell you when it has finished, then carry on from
