# Arashi > Arashi is a Git worktree manager for meta-repositories. It keeps related repositories aligned while agents and humans work on a feature branch across a shared workspace. ## Agent Guidance - Start by inspecting workspace state with `arashi status`. - Use the meta-repo for shared context, OpenSpec proposals, planning, and cross-repo coordination. - Put implementation, tests, and repo-specific docs in the owning child repository under `repos//`. - Prefer machine-readable command output such as `arashi status --json` when automating decisions. - Use `arashi exec --json -- ` for repeated multi-repo inspection or validation commands, with explicit `--only` filters for mutating or expensive commands. - Validate every affected repository before handing work back for review. - Use focused PRs and cross-link related PRs when work spans multiple repositories. ## Core Docs - [Agents workflow](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/workflows/agents-and-specs/) - bootstrap guidance for coding agents in Arashi meta-repos. - [JSON automation](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/workflows/json-automation/) - machine-readable output contract, examples, and command support matrix. - [Getting started](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/getting-started/) - install and first-workspace flow. - [Commands](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/commands/) - command reference. - [Contributing](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/contributing/) - contribution flow for Arashi projects. - [Full Markdown export](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/llms-full.txt) - consolidated public docs context. ## Useful Markdown Routes - [Agents workflow Markdown](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/workflows/agents-and-specs.md) - [JSON automation Markdown](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/workflows/json-automation.md) - [Getting started Markdown](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/getting-started.md) - [Status command Markdown](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/commands/status.md) - [Create command Markdown](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/commands/create.md) - [Exec command Markdown](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/commands/exec.md) - [Contributing Markdown](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/contributing.md) ## Optional - [Configuration workflow](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/workflows/config/) - [Hooks workflow](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/workflows/hooks/) - [VS Code workflow](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/workflows/vscode/) - [tmux and sesh workflow](https://arashi.haphazard.dev/workflows/tmux-and-sesh/)
