GET SYNAPSE

Three steps.

Clone the repo, open it in Claude Code, paste one prompt. That's all the setup. Free forever.

PowerShell — Quick start (Windows)

# Step 1: Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/lysanderl-glitch/synapse.git


# Step 2: Open in Claude Code, send the init prompt

Please complete Synapse initialization:

- My name: [your name]

- AI CEO name: [e.g. Alex, Aurora]

- Company / team: [your org]


# Step 3: You'll get a personalized greeting — system is live

"Hi [your name], I'm [CEO name], the Multi-Agents team is at your service." ✓

Detailed Steps

Before You Start

Synapse runs inside Claude Code on your local machine. Make sure these are in place first.

Claude Account Pro / Max plan or API Key Get Claude →
Node.js ≥ 18 node --version Install →
Claude Code npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code Docs →
Git git --version Install →
macOS / Linux / Windows WSL Install WSL →

Already set up? Skip to Step 1 ↓

1

Clone the repo

Run this in PowerShell. The folder name is yours to choose; Claude Code will open whichever you pick.

git clone https://github.com/lysanderl-glitch/synapse.git "$env:USERPROFILE\Claude Code\Synapse"

💡 macOS / Linux work the same — replace the path with ~/Claude\ Code/Synapse or wherever you keep projects.

2

Open in Claude Code, send the init prompt

Open Claude Code → Open Folder → select your Synapse directory. Then paste this prompt with your details filled in:

Please complete Synapse initialization:

- My name: [your name, e.g. Alex Chen]

- AI CEO name: [your AI CEO's name, e.g. Aurora, Aria]

- Company / team: [your organization or team]

When initialization succeeds, the next session opens with a personalized greeting:

"Hi [your name], I'm [CEO name], the Multi-Agents team is at your service."

⚠️ Troubleshooting: If the greeting doesn't appear, confirm Claude Code opened the directory containing CLAUDE.md at its root.

Alternative · Manual personalization (only if you cloned manually via Option B)

If you skipped the init prompt, you can edit CLAUDE.md directly with global replace (Ctrl+H):

  • Lysander → your AI CEO's name
  • 刘子杨 → your name
  • Synapse-PJ → your organization

Save. About 2 minutes. If you downloaded a personalized bundle via /en/academy/bundle/, this step is already done for you.

Meet your team

Once your CEO is live, send this single message to walk through everything you just unlocked:

Hello — please introduce: 1) the current team architecture and what each team owns; 2) how the execution chain runs from goal-input to final delivery; 3) how the five-tier decision framework decides what to notify (L4) versus escalate (L5) to me?

This one prompt activates your AI CEO, surfaces all 55 active core agents across twelve teams, walks through the five-step execution chain (per CLAUDE.md L97), and explains exactly when decisions escalate (L4 notify, L5 call).

Upgrade with one sentence

When a new Synapse release ships, just say it. Tell your AI CEO:

"Upgrade Synapse"

The CEO automatically pulls the latest release → runs the audit (must clear 90) → preserves your personalization → reports back when complete. No manual Git work, no merge conflicts, no migration anxiety.

Common Questions

Is my data safe?
Synapse runs entirely on your machine. Nothing transits a third party except the Anthropic Claude API call itself. Your conversations and files stay local.
Does it cost money?
The Synapse package is free, forever. You'll need a Claude Code subscription to run it (Anthropic's Max plan). The framework itself is $0.
Can I customize the team?
Fully. Edit agent-CEO/config/organization.yaml to add or remove teams and agents. For deep customization, see CUSTOMIZATION_GUIDE.md in the repo.
How do I stay up to date?
The base package is yours forever — no expiration, no auto-updates. Whenever a new Synapse release ships, just tell your AI CEO: 'Upgrade Synapse.' The CEO pulls the latest, runs the audit, preserves your personalization, and reports back.
Does it work on macOS and Linux?
Yes. Claude Code is cross-platform. Synapse itself is OS-agnostic. The PowerShell command in Step 1 swaps cleanly for git clone plus normal directory operations on Unix-likes.
