An agentic operating system for organizations.
Website · Community · MIT License
Egregore is a shared cognition layer for AI-native collaboration. It turns Claude Code into an inhabitable production environment where every session, handoff, and decision accumulates into a living memory owned by your organization. With use, the deep context that accumulates enables seamless continuity across multi-agent workflows, visibility into organizational patterns and decision-making, and persistence of collective intelligence across people, sessions, and time.

Install
npx create-egregore@latest
This walks you through GitHub auth, names your egregore, creates the repos (instance + shared memory), clones everything locally, and adds a shell command to your profile.
To join an existing egregore:
npx create-egregore join <github-org>
(You will need an invitation from the instance owner. See /invite below.)
If your org blocks third-party GitHub Apps, there's a gh-CLI install path: see INSTALL-GH.md or the docs.
Start
Open a new terminal:
egregore
or, if configured:
<instance-alias>
Memory syncs. Identity resolves. The session picks up the accumulated context from every session before it.
The substrate
Three structural pieces. Everything else is built on them.
egregore.md — The identity document. What the group is, what it values,
how it works. Every session reads it. It evolves with use.
memory/ — Git-based shared knowledge. Handoffs, decisions, patterns,
quests, people. A separate repo, symlinked into the instance. Version-controlled
provenance on everything.
Slash commands — Coordination primitives that encode the session protocol. Hand off context, capture decisions, invite people, save work. Nobody needs to learn git workflows or remember conventions.
Commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/handoff | Structured context for the next session — decisions, trade-offs, open threads |
/activity | What's happening across the team |
/invite | Bring someone into the egregore |
/save | Stage, commit, push, PR — one command |
/dashboard | Your personal status and recent work |
/quest | Start or contribute to an open-ended exploration |
/ask /harvest | Route a question to a teammate or the group |
/todo | Personal task tracking |
/reflect | Capture a decision, pattern, or finding |
/deep-reflect | Cross-reference an insight against accumulated knowledge |
Invite
/invite <github-username>
Adds them as a collaborator on your repos. They join with:
npx create-egregore join <your-github-org>
New members inherit the full shared context from session one. The egregore onboards them.
What runs
Egregore uses Claude Code hooks
— shell scripts that fire on session events. All source is in bin/ and
.claude/hooks/. Read them directly.
| Hook | What it does |
|---|---|
| SessionStart | Syncs memory, resolves identity, renders greeting |
| PreToolUse | Boundary isolation + branch protection |
| PostToolUse | Local activity tracking |
| WorktreeCreate | Isolated git worktrees per topic |
| PreCompact | Saves context before memory compression |
| Stop | Reminds you to save unsaved work |
No background processes. No daemons. No network calls you don't see.
Telemetry
Anonymous usage data — command names and timestamps only. Never code, file contents, or conversation. Opt out anytime:
EGREGORE_NO_TELEMETRY=1 # in your .env
DO_NOT_TRACK=1 # or the standard flag
Egregore Native: Managed hosting (coming soon)
The open-source Egregore was built as a self-hosted, sovereign architecture without dependencies. Egregore's true capabilities, functionalities and scale are greatly enhanced with managed services. For teams that want the knowledge graph, live notifications, organizational agents, and persistent GUI: native@egregore.xyz.
Contributing
Egregore is built by its users. If you already run an egregore:
/contribute
Forks the repo, creates a branch, and opens a PR to egregore-labs/egregore
when you're done.
For manual setup, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
