The schematize CLI
The command line for building with AI agents.
Install and version the house's engineering skills, run unattended development with overdev, and keep your environment healthy — all from one Linux-first binary.
What it does, and why
AI coding agents are powerful but inconsistent: they stop early, ask blocking questions, and drift from your standards. schematize fixes that. It installs normative engineering skills into Claude Code so your agent follows real playbooks, and it runs overdev — a mode that refuses to stop until a checklist is genuinely complete, parking questions instead of blocking on them. The result is development you can start and walk away from, that still holds your quality bar.
Everything in the box
Skill catalog
Install and version normative skills — engineering, go, rust, web, seo, node, pentest — into ~/.claude with a single command.
overdev
Continuous development until the checklist closes. Blocking question pools are vetoed; questions are parked to a file and work continues.
doctor
Diagnoses your setup — Claude dir, hooks, agent, PATH shadowing, network, versions — and repairs what's safe with --fix.
status
A single dashboard: installed vs latest versions, the update agent, overdev, language and ecosystem links.
self-update
schematize upgrade keeps the CLI and GUI current; a background agent notifies you of new versions and blog posts.
GUI + multi-language
A native desktop window to manage skills, plus an interface available in 11 languages. Ships as .deb, .rpm or a static binary.
Install
Install on Linux, macOS or Windows.
One command on Linux; download-and-open on macOS and Windows. The desktop app ships with it — no build tools.
In a terminal:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/schematizeme/schematize-cli/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bashRequires curl. The GUI ships prebuilt in the package — no build dependencies.
