ADS documentation

How to install ADS, work with it in Claude Code, and read what it does. Each page answers one question, with examples.

  • Getting started: What you need, how to install ADS, how to set it up once in your repository, and what your first change looks like.
  • Everyday use: Recipes for the things you ask Claude Code every day, each with what you say, what you see and what happens.
  • How a change lands: How ADS sets the risk of a change, which changes land by themselves, and the checks, review layers and budgets on the way.
  • Approvals, undo, pause and stop: How you approve an action with ok and its code, what the approval protects and what it does not, and how undo, pause and stop differ.
  • Status API and other tools: Read what ADS does from your own scripts as versioned JSON, and set the colours and glyphs of its output.
