Getting Started

This section walks you from zero to a running Animus project with autonomous AI agents executing workflows continuously.

Animus is designed for autonomous execution: you define work and the daemon runs it automatically, 24/7. Single synchronous runs (--sync) are useful for debugging, not the primary use case.

Pages

• Installation -- Install the CLI, verify animus, and confirm your local AI coding tools are available.
• Quick Start -- Initialize a repo, create a task, start the daemon, and watch workflows run autonomously.
• Project Setup -- Understand the split between project-local .animus/ config and repo-scoped runtime state.
• A Typical Day -- End-to-end walkthrough of creating requirements, materializing tasks, and letting the daemon execute automatically.
