Agentic Substrate v4.1

Research-first development system for Claude Code CLI

No API hallucinations. No coding from stale training data. Research → Plan → Implement.

---

Quick Start

# Install
git clone https://github.com/VAMFI/claude-user-memory.git
cd claude-user-memory
./install.sh

# Use
/workflow Add Redis caching to ProductService

---

What You Get

• 9 Agents - Orchestration, research, planning, implementation, debugging, deployment
• 5 Skills - Auto-invoked capabilities for research, planning, validation, patterns, context
• 5 Commands - /workflow, /research, /plan, /implement, /context
• Quality Gates - Research ≥80, Plans ≥85, Tests passing, 3-retry circuit breaker
• Memory - Knowledge graph persists across sessions

---

Usage

Full automation:

/workflow Add authentication with JWT tokens

Step-by-step:

/research Redis for Node.js v5.0
/plan Redis caching implementation
/implement

Direct agents:

@chief-architect Build payment system
@docs-researcher Research Stripe API
@brahma-deployer Deploy v2.5.0

How It Works

1. Research (< 2 min) - Fetch version-accurate docs before coding
2. Plan (< 3 min) - Create minimal-change blueprint with rollback
3. Implement (< 10 min) - Execute with TDD + self-correction
4. Learn - Auto-capture patterns to knowledge graph

Quality gates block bad inputs. Circuit breaker stops infinite loops.

Installation

Cross-Platform: Works on macOS, Linux, Windows (WSL), and most Unix systems

Requirements: Minimal - bash and git only. Optional: python3/python for enhanced features

Installs to: ~/.claude/

Preserves:

• All data in ~/.claude/data/
• Your CLAUDE.md customizations (smart-merged)
• Modified files (detected by checksum)
• Knowledge files and patterns

Upgrade:

./install.sh

Your data and customizations are automatically preserved.

Update:

./update.sh    # Selective update (only changed files)

---

Configuration

./customize.sh                              # Interactive menu

./customize.sh --list-mcps                 # View configuration

---

Uninstall

./uninstall.sh --dry-run    # Preview what will be removed
./uninstall.sh              # Remove (preserves data)
