Create and run lightweight standalone WORKFLOW.md loops with fest create workflow, fest next, and fest workflow advance. Use when a user wants step-by-step workflow guidance inside any ordinary directory, explore/design work item, project folder, or thin-start workflow.
Route work that is too large for a single chat into a structured plan. Use when the user describes a multi-step build, a migration, a rewrite, an audit, a refactor across many files, or a research question with several threads. Use when a goal would otherwise need step-by-step supervision across more than one session.…
Instructions for Obedience-Corp/festival: Festival is a goal-oriented project management methodology for human and AI development workflows, driven by the fest and camp CLIs, installed and kept in sync by a third tool, festival. The skills imported below describe how to plan and execute festivals. Load them when…
Festival Methodology: goal-oriented project management for human-AI development workflows. Provides fest and camp CLI integration, automatic installation, and methodology guidance.
Festival is files and two CLIs the agent loop actually touches: fest and camp, installed and kept current by a third tool, festival. It works with any agent that can run shell commands and read files, which is nearly all of them. There is no plugin to install for the core loop: the agent runs fest next, reads the task…
Claude Code runs Festival through a plugin. The plugin does not replace the loop: the loop is still fest next, do the task, fest task completed, fest commit. What the plugin adds is that the methodology skills are already loaded, the fest and camp verbs have slash-command shortcuts, and two agents are available for…
Codex runs Festival through a plugin that carries the skills and a session-start hook. The loop is the same fest next loop it is everywhere else. The plugin's job is narrow: make sure the fest and camp CLIs exist, and make sure the agent knows the vocabulary.
Cursor's plugin system, which shipped in Cursor 2.5, carries every Festival surface: skills, commands, agents, and hooks. This is the fullest bundle after Claude Code. The loop is unchanged: fest next, do the task, fest task completed, fest commit.
Gemini CLI installs Festival as an extension straight from GitHub, in one command. The extension carries a context file that imports every Festival skill, and a session-start hook that installs the fest and camp CLIs.
Hermes Agent runs Festival with no adapter and no plugin. It finds fest and camp on your PATH, reads the campaign's AGENTS.md, and drives the loop with its terminal tool. This page is the shortest path from a machine with Hermes on it to a festival executing.
Skills are native in opencode, and plugin code runs at load, so Festival's bundle here is small: a short JavaScript plugin plus the skills tree. The plugin has exactly one job at load, which is to make sure fest and camp exist. Everything else is opencode's own discovery doing the work.
Festival is two CLIs and a directory of files: fest and camp, installed and kept current by a third tool, festival. Any agent that can run shell commands and read files can drive it, and the agents on this page do exactly that with no plugin and no adapter.
