How to scaffold an AI engineering team into an existing repo with Armada

Run init to detect your stack and set up eight specialist roles with evidence gates.

Short answer: Install with npm install -g @rafamacalaba/armada; then run cd your-repo && armada init; review the scaffolded roles and contracts. All steps.

Who it is forA tech lead whose solo agent keeps making unasked architecture decisions.

The problemSingle agents guess, skip verification and forget context.

The outcomeA repo with a contract, build, test, review and PR loop scaffolded in place.

What you need first

  • Node.js and npm
  • A coding agent and model access (README references OpenRouter pricing)

Steps

  1. Install with npm install -g @rafamacalaba/armada
  2. Run cd your-repo && armada init
  3. Review the scaffolded roles and contracts
  4. Start a feature lane

Prompt for your agent

In <repo>, run `armada init`, list the specialist roles it created, and explain which gate each transition requires. Confirm no source files outside the scaffold changed.

Caveat. It scaffolds files into the repository, so run it on a branch first.
