Introduction
Get started with FlyDocs. Installation, configuration, core concepts, and command reference for structured AI-assisted development.
FlyDocs installs structured context, skills, and guardrails directly into your project. Your AI coding tools stop guessing and start following your actual patterns.
Why FlyDocs
AI coding assistants are powerful, but without structure they create overhead:
- Context gets lost between sessions
- AI ignores your established patterns and standards
- No visibility into what AI is doing or what it costs
- MCP servers bloat context and produce inconsistent results
FlyDocs solves these with an opinionated framework: structured context the AI loads on demand, hooks that enforce standards automatically, and a skills-first architecture that replaces MCP servers without the overhead.
Quick Start
Step 1: Install the CLI
npm install -g @flydocs/cli@beta Requires Node 18.17+ and Python 3.8+.
Step 2: Run it in your project
cd your-project
flydocs FlyDocs detects your stack, recommends skills, and generates structured context. Under a minute.
Step 3: Open your IDE and set up
Open your project in Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf. Run
/flydocs-setup. The AI walks you through project context,
conventions, and first steps.
Step 4: Start building
Use /start-session to begin work. The AI has your project context,
active issues, and conventions loaded automatically. Pick a feature or issue
and go.
What's Working Today
- Skills: platform skills for workflow, community skills for your stack, active skills that replace MCPs. Loaded on demand, not all at once.
- Hooks: deterministic guardrails that fire automatically. Context injection, auto-formatting, script approval. Standards that run, not suggestions.
- Context Graph: tracks decisions, sessions, and project knowledge. Tomorrow's session picks up where today's left off.
- Workflow: a structured lifecycle from capture to close. Local issue management out of the box.
- Session Management: start and wrap sessions with full context carried forward between conversations.
What's Coming
We're actively building the connected layer and rolling out features as they're ready:
- Project Management Tool Sync: sync issues, transitions, and comments with your existing tracker (Linear, Jira, etc.) (coming soon)
- Web portal: project setup, team visibility, and session analytics (coming soon)
- Cross-session intelligence: context that compounds across your whole team (coming soon)
- Visibility & Cost intelligence: AI usage tracking, spend analysis, and ROI visibility (coming soon)
