Overview
Genesis is a personal AI agent framework for Cursor that accumulates your patterns, preferences, and learnings over time.
What is Genesis?
Genesis provides specialized agents that auto-delegate complex tasks, a protocol for efficient communication, and a self-learning system that extracts patterns from your work.
The more you use it, the smarter it gets about your codebase and preferences.
Core Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Agents | Specialized AI subagents that handle planning, reviewing, fixing, and verifying |
| Principles | 10 rules that guide all work (.1 through .10) |
| Playbooks | Your learned patterns, accumulated over time |
| Protocol | Shorthand for efficient communication |
Quick Start
curl -fsSL genesis.hericl.es | bash
This installs agents, rules, and skills to your ~/.cursor/ directory, and creates ~/.genesis/ for your data.
Philosophy
Precision over speed. Verification before polish. Learning over repetition.
Genesis is built on the belief that AI agents work best with:
- Principles — Clear rules that guide decisions
- Playbooks — Standard patterns for common tasks
- Self-learning — Continuous improvement from your work
- Simplicity — Clean, focused tools that do one thing well
