PromptWorld

Build Claude-Code software by talking to it.

One agent — the Engineer-CEO — and seven specialist builders. You describe what you want; they compile the actual Claude Code components: skills, MCP servers, prompts, harnesses, teams, workflows, and whole operating systems. It runs as one web app: a chat, a live file workbench, and dashboards.

The innovation: an app that knows how it was built

PromptWorld is built over a nomicon — a documentation-and-development operating system (doc-mirror) that every agent in the app carries. So PromptWorld can inspect its own structure and explain, as a living example, exactly how an app like it is made. The nomicon folds on itself: the thing that builds components is itself a component you can read.

THE WORLD MODULE

A guild that builds

The Engineer-CEO plus seven specialist AIOS directories — one per component type. Each specialist is itself a directory that codes an agent, and works only in its own workspace.

THE NOMICON LADDER

Component to app, foldable

The rungs component → AIOS → framework → fold → app exist as real skills and CLIs every agent loads. Ask the CEO "how were you built?" and it reads its own dirs to show you.

PromptWorld is one *World (like JobWorld, HealthWorld) — a CAVE-fork resemblance, a way of doing this. It self-inspects; it does not (yet) compile other Worlds.

Seven crafts, seven masters

The Claude Code component ladder, smallest to largest. The CEO builds any of them itself or routes the work to the master who owns that craft.

skill

Skillwright

A packaged capability — a lean SKILL.md plus resources the agent equips.

mcp

Toolwright

An MCP server — real executable tools an agent calls (FastMCP).

prompt

Promptwright

A prompt / persona — a "guy" that puts an LLM in a role.

harness

Harnesswright

A harness — sequenced typed outputs across a turn, on a dependency DAG.

team

Teamwright

A team of subagents coordinating on a shared task list.

workflow

Flowwright

A deterministic script that fans work out to subagents in phases.

operating_system

Systemwright

An AI OS — a directory plus a core loop that makes an agent govern itself.

Run it

PromptWorld ships as a Docker image. Build it, boot it with your provider key, open it.

# build the image (stages the app + the doc-mirror plugin + cave + sdna)
bash deploy/build.sh build

# boot on :3858 with the model key the agents run on
export MINIMAX_API_KEY=...
bash deploy/build.sh boot 3858

# open http://localhost:3858 — chat, workbench, dashboards

Every agent loads the doc-mirror plugin — in the SDK turns and in the embedded terminal alike.

An app that builds apps — and can read itself.

Open source. Build skills, tools, agents, and operating systems by talking to one engineer.
