<p align="center"> Headless product design for AI coding agents, backed by a transactional product graph. Lamina helps your agent design how your app works — actors, flows, states, permissions, failures, and edge cases — then verify the live build through independent persona missions. It never edits application source. </p>

## Quickstart

### Let your AI agent install it

Open your project root, paste this into your AI coding agent, and let it handle setup:

```text Install Lamina for this project.

1. Confirm Node.js 20 or newer is available. 2. Run: npm install -g @laminadev/cli@latest npx skills add aryaniyaps/lamina --skill '*' -a '*' -y lamina doctor --json 3. Do not use sudo and do not edit application source. 4. If a command fails, stop and show me the exact error. 5. When complete, report the installed CLI version and agent targets, then tell me to start a fresh agent session and run: /lamina-init <your product domain and primary users> ```

Prefer installing it yourself?

```bash npm install -g @laminadev/cli@latest npx skills add aryaniyaps/lamina --skill '*' -a '*' -y lamina doctor --json ```

The install adds the `lamina` router plus 58 focused workflow and craft skills. They remain first-class siblings so agents can discover and progressively load cross-referenced skills directly. Then start a **fresh agent session** so the complete skill set is available.

### Design, build, and verify

**AGENT CHAT**

```text /lamina-init <your product domain and primary users> /lamina-design <one feature or flow> ```

Run init once per project or domain. Use `/lamina-init update` only when the business use case, market, scope, or actors materially change.

`/lamina-design` publishes a validated p
