## AWARE: Open-Source Agentic Infrastructure for AECO (Core Overview)

AWARE is an open-source agentic infrastructure targeting the AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operation) industry. Its core paradigm shift is: **Apps are text, AI is the runtime**. Applications are stored as human-readable plain text files (`.flo` format), and AI directly executes these texts instead of being an auxiliary tool. This initiative aims to break the vendor lock-in and complexity of closed professional software in the AECO sector, empowering practitioners to regain control over their tools.

## Background: AECO Industry's Software Challenges

The AECO industry has long been dominated by complex, closed-source professional software with severe vendor lock-in. Users are tied to specific vendors' ecosystems, limiting flexibility and innovation. AWARE addresses this pain point by leveraging open standards and agent technology to create a vendor-agnostic, user-controlled infrastructure.

## Core Design Principles & System Architecture

### Key Design Truths
1. **Apps are text**: Stored as `.flo` plain text files, editable with any text editor.
2. **AI is the runtime**: AI understands and executes text-based apps directly, no compilation needed.
3. **Open source as format**: Plain text nature eliminates proprietary barriers, making open source inherent.
4. **No vendor lock-in**: No installers or walled gardens—users control tools and data.
5. **AECO as entry point**: Vertical focus on AECO, but infrastructure is generalizable.

### Modular Components
- **00-vision**: Vision docs (`decalog.md`, `manifesto.md`)
- **10-core**: Core specs (agent, app, runtime contract)
- **20-agents**: Ecological agents (engineering: Tekla/CSI API; architecture: Revit/AutoCAD; visualization: xeokit/Three.js; construction: Trimble Connect/ACC; cross-domain: Microsoft 365/Google Workspace)
- **30-apps**: Reference apps (`welded-to-tc.flo`, `qa-drawings-to-tekla.flo`)
- **40-diagrams**: Architecture visuals (Mermaid/Excalidraw)
- **50-research**: Design notes and competitive analysis

## Implementation & Usage Workflow

### Usage Steps
1. **Install CLI**: `npm install -g @aware-aeco/cli` (or curl/PowerShell alternatives)
2. **Start AI Assistant**: `claude-code` (or codex/opencode)
3. **Define App**: Describe needs in natural language (e.g., "Watch Tekla model for welded assemblies and upload drawings to Trimble Connect")
4. **AI Generates Workflow**: Creates `.flo` file (e.g., `welded-to-tc.flo`)
5. **Execute**: `aware app run welded-to-tc`

### Technical Details
- **Skill Generation**: Supports `--from-nuget` (Revit/Tekla), `--from-yard` (SketchUp), `--from-npm` (Three.js), `--from-openapi` (REST APIs)
- **Meta-primitives**: `aware-agent-builder` (convert software to agents), `aware-skill-builder` (manage skills), `html-report` (render outputs)

## Current Status & Roadmap

### v0 Completed
- Docs: Decalog, manifesto, core specs
- 7 reference agents, 58 production skills
- 2 reference apps, 3 meta-primitives
- Apache 2.0 license

### v0.1 Roadmap
- `aware` CLI binary (runtime)
- Plugin generators for Claude Code/Codex/OpenCode
- Issue tracker, PR review process, contribution badges

Current codebase serves as documentation—contributors can port skills, write agents, and compose `.flo` apps before CLI release.

## Conclusion & Ecosystem Links

AWARE redefines software by turning apps into text and AI into runtime, offering a path to escape vendor lock-in for AECO. For practitioners, it enables natural language workflows to coordinate tools like Tekla/Revit. For developers, it promotes composable, auditable agent networks.

### Ecosystem
- **FloLess**: Commercial visual canvas for AWARE apps (independent project)
- **vercel-labs/skills**: AWARE is compatible with this general skill installation规范

AWARE’s vision is grand but pragmatic, with 81k+ generated commands and 58 selected skills laying the foundation for an open, user-centric infrastructure.
