Getting started
Four commands. Then you have a judge, not a second agent.
1. Install
npm install -g agentic-sage
# or one-shot
npx agentic-sage doctor
Requires Node ≥ 20. Bins: sage and agentic-sage.
2. Init (wires hooks / templates on this machine)
sage init
This is the human-friendly bootstrap. Prefer the linear story in SETUP.md (required → recommended → optional).
3. Turn judging on
# global (default home layout)
sage on
# or only for the current git project
cd /path/to/repo && sage enable
SAGE is default OFF until you opt in. Install alone does not start judging every session.
4. Doctor
sage doctor
Fix anything red. When doctor is green, open a judged session (Claude Code / Grok with the wired snippet) and try:
sage board # inside a repo
sage war # fleet cockpit across repos (TTY)
Agent path
If an agent is installing for you, follow the machine-oriented runbook:
→ AGENTS.md (install → enable → wire snippet → optional adapter → doctor)
