Claude skill: design any process, idea, or problem into an ICM workspace (folder structure as agent architecture), or restructure an existing folder into one

What it solves

It eliminates the need for complex orchestration code in multi-agent systems by using a structured folder system as the agent's architecture. This allows humans to easily monitor the system's state and allows a single agent to perform the work of a multi-agent framework by reading the right files at the right time.

How it works

The project implements the Interpretable Context Methodology (ICM), which uses numbered folders for sequencing, hierarchy for context scoping, and markdown files for state. It operates in two modes: Build mode, which scaffolds a new workspace based on one of six proven forms (Pipeline, Umbrella, Record library, Knowledge bundle, Context map, or System map), and Restructure mode, which audits and migrates existing folders into an ICM workspace. Every result is validated via a "walk test" to ensure an agent with no memory can orient and act based solely on the files.

Who it’s for

Developers and AI practitioners who want to create interpretable, file-based agent architectures without writing orchestration code, specifically for users of Claude Code or Claude apps.

Highlights

  • Folder-as-Architecture: Replaces code-based orchestration with a structured directory layout.
  • Six Proven Forms: Provides templates for various needs, from production lines (Pipelines) to navigable brains (Knowledge bundles).
  • Walk Test Validation: Ensures the system is structure-dependent rather than memory-dependent.
  • Dual Mode Operation: Can either build a new workspace from scratch or restructure existing repositories and vaults.
