🚀Hailow - Bootstrap Your Engineering Workspace with AI Agents

Stop setting up projects manually. Let AI agents do it for you.

Hey everyone 👋

I'm Harvey --- a DevOps engineer who spends way too much time setting
up the same environments over and over again.

  • Recreating configs
  • Rewriting boilerplate
  • Reinstalling tools
  • Rebuilding workflows

So I built something to fix that.

👉 Meet Hailow: an AI agent--driven CLI that bootstraps your
engineering workspace in seconds.

🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/Harvey-N-Lab/hailow

🤯 The Problem

Every time you start a new project:

  • You recreate your environment from scratch\
  • You configure tools manually\
  • You copy configs from old repos\
  • You lose time before writing actual code

And even worse...

👉 Your workflow isn't consistent across projects\
👉 Your setup isn't reusable\
👉 Your knowledge isn't structured

⚡ The Idea

What if your setup was:

  • reusable\
  • composable\
  • automated\
  • powered by AI agents

That's what Hailow does.

🧠 What is Hailow?

Hailow is a CLI that installs domain-specific AI agent workflows into
your workspace.

Each domain includes:

  • 🤖 agents (researcher → planner → architect → implementer → reviewer)\
  • 📏 rules (best practices & standards)\
  • 🧰 skills (via npx skills)\
  • ⚙️ commands (workflow automation)\
  • 🧠 contexts (project-specific knowledge)

⚡ Install

Download the latest binary:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Harvey-N-Lab/hailow/master/scripts/install.sh | bash
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Verify installation:

hailow --version
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

🚀 Usage

Install a domain 

hailow install python-backend-engineer
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install multiple domains 

hailow install devops-engineer js-ts-software-engineer
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install all domains 

hailow install all
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

🤖 Choose agent platform

Hailow supports:

  • Roo Code\
  • Claude Code 
hailow install python-backend-engineer --platform roo
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
hailow install devops-engineer --platform claude
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

🧰 Install skills (optional)

Example for Python backend:

npx skills install python-backend
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

📁 What gets installed

After running Hailow, your workspace will include:

.claude/ or .roo/
  agents/
  rules/
  skills/
  commands/
  contexts/
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Each domain provides:

  • structured AI agent workflow\
  • reusable configs\
  • domain-specific best practices

⚡ Example workflow 

hailow install devops-engineer python-backend-engineer
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

👉 Your workspace is instantly ready with DevOps + backend workflows.

💥 That's it

From zero → structured AI workflow in one command.
