Getting Started

macOS

Download the .dmg file from our download page.

CLI Only

Initialize your project using npx:

npx @sidstack/cli init

Homebrew formula and npm global install will be available after first release.

Navigate to your project directory and run:

cd your-project
sidstack init

This creates a .sidstack/ folder with: - governance.md - Your project's governance rules - knowledge/ - Folder for project documentation - config.json - Configuration settings

Document your project's patterns and rules:

# Create business logic documentation
sidstack knowledge create --type business-logic --title "User Authentication"

# Create API documentation
sidstack knowledge create --type api --title "REST Endpoints"

Knowledge documents help AI agents understand your codebase conventions.

Add SidStack MCP server to your project. Create a .mcp.json file in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sidstack": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@sidstack/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Code and it will automatically discover the MCP server for your project.

Open the desktop app or use CLI to launch Claude Code sessions:

# Launch a Claude Code session with project context
sidstack session launch

# Create and track tasks
sidstack task create --title "Implement feature X"

Sessions automatically load your governance rules and project knowledge via MCP.
