Quickstart

From install to your first directive in 5 minutes.

System requirements

1

Install the CLI

Run the installer from your project directory:
Or install via Homebrew (macOS/Linux):
The installer configures hooks, the event-driven learner with a daily sweep, and the managed section in CLAUDE.md.
2

Use Claude Code normally

Just keep working as usual. auto-sop captures tool calls silently in the background with less than 50ms overhead.
Captures are stored locally in .auto-sop/captures/ — they never leave your machine on the free tier.
3

Trigger learning

The learner runs automatically during your session and once daily. To trigger it immediately:
The learner analyzes your captures, finds recurring patterns (3+ occurrences), and validates them with LLM analysis.
4

Check your CLAUDE.md

Open your project’s CLAUDE.md to see the new directives:
Directives appear in the managed section with evidence counts:
Each directive includes an ID (sop:sop-xxxx) and evidence count so you can trace why it was created.

Optional: Connect to cloud

Connect your project for cloud sync and the web dashboard:
All plans include cloud sync for stats and project tracking. The Free plan syncs 1 project; Pro syncs unlimited projects and adds directive sync. All cloud communication is encrypted client-side — the server never sees raw captures.
Every new account gets a 14-day Pro trial — no credit card required. During the trial you get unlimited projects, cloud directive sync, dashboard analytics, and all Pro features. After the trial ends you stay on the Free plan automatically.
