The Complete Guide to Agentic Creator OS v6: Your AI Operating System

The system behind 12,000+ AI songs, this website, and enterprise AI projects.

TL;DR

Agentic Creator OS (ACOS) transforms Claude Code from a chat tool into a full operating system for creators. Version 6 introduces a smart router (/acos), auto-activating skills, and a hooks system for quality enforcement. You get 25 commands, 80+ skills, 40+ agents, and 8 orchestrated workflows—all without writing code. Install in 5 minutes. Start with /acos. Free on GitHub.

What Is Agentic Creator OS?

Agentic Creator OS is a superintelligent operating system for generative creators—a complete intelligence layer that transforms how you work with AI.

Think of it as the difference between:

• A chat tool (ask questions, get answers, lose context)
• An operating system (persistent skills, coordinated agents, automated workflows)

If you've ever felt frustrated by:

• Losing your best prompts across sessions
• AI outputs that don't sound like you
• Juggling 10 different AI tools without a system
• Starting from scratch every time you open Claude

...then ACOS is the solution.

Why Do Creators Need an AI Operating System?

The Problem: Fragmented AI Work

Most creators use AI like this:

1. Open ChatGPT/Claude
2. Write a prompt
3. Get a response
4. Copy-paste somewhere
5. Repeat (losing all context)

This creates:

• Tool roulette: Jumping between AI tools with no continuity
• Prompt amnesia: Forgetting which prompts worked
• Voice dilution: Generic AI output that doesn't sound like you
• No system: Nothing compounds, nothing scales

The Solution: An Operating System

ACOS gives you:

• Persistent skills that remember how you work
• Specialized agents that maintain your voice
• Automated workflows that compound your output
• Quality gates that catch mistakes before publishing

The same system runs my:

• Music production: 12,000+ Suno tracks
• This website: 50+ blog articles
• Enterprise work: AI architecture

How Does ACOS v6 Work?

The Smart Router: One Command to Rule Them All

Version 7 centers on /acos—the single entry point to everything.

/acos

That's it. The smart router:

1. Detects your intent from natural language
2. Routes to the best command automatically
3. Loads relevant skills without manual invocation
4. Shows a menu when intent is ambiguous

Examples:

/acos "write a blog post about AI agents"
  → Routes to /article-creator
  → Auto-loads content-strategy skill

/acos "make a track about productivity"
  → Routes to /create-music
  → Auto-loads suno-ai-mastery skill

/acos "build a login feature"
  → Routes to /spec
  → Auto-loads implementation-planning skill

Auto-Activation: Skills That Load Themselves

In v5, you had to manually invoke skills with /skill suno-ai-mastery. In v6, skills activate automatically based on context.

The skill-rules.json file contains 22 activation rules:

{
  "rules": [
    {
      "skill": "content-strategy",
      "triggers": {
        "keywords": ["blog", "article", "content", "write"],
        "filePatterns": ["content/**/*.mdx"],
        "commands": ["/article-creator", "/factory"]
      },
      "priority": "high"
    }
  ]
}

When you say "write a blog post," ACOS:

1. Detects the keyword "blog"
2. Loads the content-strategy skill automatically
3. Routes to /article-creator
4. You never had to know the skill existed

The Hooks System: Quality Gates

Hooks are automated checkpoints that run at key moments:

Example: The brand voice hook catches phrases like "synergy" or "leverage" and suggests alternatives before you publish.

What Are the 7 Pillars of ACOS Architecture?

ACOS is built on 7 foundational pillars that work together:

Pillar 1: Skills Layer (Knowledge)

What: 630+ specialized knowledge modules Purpose: Domain expertise that loads on-demand

Skills are organized by category:

• Technical (18): TDD, debugging, MCP architecture, React patterns
• Creative (8): Brand voice, Suno AI, content strategy
• Business (4): OCI services, product management
• Personal (4): Productivity, health, fitness
• System (5): ACOS core, orchestration, planning

Each skill follows the 500-Line Rule:

SKILL.md: <500 lines (core instructions)
resources/patterns.md: <500 lines (detailed patterns)
resources/examples.md: <500 lines (real examples)

This enables progressive disclosure—Claude loads only what's needed, when it's needed.

Pillar 2: Agents Layer (Execution)

What: 40+ specialized AI personas Purpose: Experts for specific domains

Key agents include:

Agents can work individually or as a weighted synthesis:

Visionary (30%) + Creation Engine (25%) + Technical Translator (25%) + Frequency Alchemist (20%)
= Coordinated response blending all perspectives

Pillar 3: Workflows Layer (Process)

What: 8 orchestrated pipelines Purpose: Complex multi-step operations

Pillar 4: MCP Servers Layer (Tools)

What: 5+ external tool integrations Purpose: Connect Claude to the outside world

Pillar 5: Templates Layer (Patterns)

What: 20+ reusable content structures Purpose: Consistent quality without reinventing

Templates include:

• Social media posts (LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram)
• Blog article structures
• Product descriptions
• Email newsletters

Pillar 6: Instances Layer (Configuration)

What: Project-specific customizations Purpose: Different voices for different projects

Each instance configures:

• Brand voice and tone
• Banned phrases
• Required keywords
• Color palettes
• Publishing targets

Pillar 7: Intelligence Layer (Meta)

What: Cross-cutting coordination Purpose: The orchestrator of orchestrators

The Starlight Orchestrator sits above all other components:

• Routes complex requests to the right subsystems
• Preserves context across agent handoffs
• Monitors system health
• Learns from usage patterns
