{"library":"paul-framework","title":"PAUL Framework","description":"PAUL (Plan-Apply-Unify Loop) is an AI-assisted development framework designed to bring structure and integrity to projects built using Claude Code. Currently at version 1.2.0, the framework emphasizes disciplined execution through a cyclical process: Plan, Apply, and Unify. It aims to combat \"context rot\" and improve the reliability of AI-generated output by enforcing loop integrity, prioritizing in-session context, and driving development with acceptance criteria. PAUL ensures that plans are closed, state is consistently managed, and decisions are logged, significantly reducing the debugging of AI output. It is not limited to software development but can manage diverse projects like marketing campaigns and workflows. Releases are driven by user feedback, focusing on enhancing workflow quality and depth, with the latest v1.2.0 introducing significant improvements to the initialization process.","language":"javascript","status":"active","last_verified":"Sun Apr 19","install":{"commands":["npm install paul-framework"],"cli":{"name":"paul","version":null}},"imports":["npx paul-framework","/paul:init","/paul:unify"],"auth":{"required":false,"env_vars":[]},"quickstart":{"code":"npx paul-framework\n\n# Choose location (Global or local)\n# Verify installation inside Claude Code:\n/paul:help\n\n# Quick Workflow inside Claude Code:\n# 1.
