19 deterministic AI development workflows — plan, build, verify, and deploy complex software with zero drift.
Built by eComX — the Context-First AI development methodology for serious operators.
Axiom is a complete workflow suite for agentic software development. 19 markdown workflow files, each a precise, step-by-step process your AI agent follows as a slash command.
Unlike generic prompting, Axiom workflows are deterministic — they produce consistent, auditable results every time. Each workflow has a defined input, a defined output, and clear deviation handling.
Philosophy: AI agents perform at their ceiling when given structured process, not vague instructions. Axiom is the process layer.

One-liner (recommended):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ecomxco/axiom/main/install.sh | bashThis installs all 19 workflows into .agent/workflows/ in the current directory.
Options:
# Install into a specific project
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ecomxco/axiom/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --dir ~/projects/my-app
# Install a specific version
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ecomxco/axiom/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --version v1.0.0
# Use Cursor's directory convention
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ecomxco/axiom/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --agent-dir .cursor/rulesManual install:
git clone https://github.com/ecomxco/axiom.git
cp -r axiom/workflows/ /path/to/your-project/.agent/workflows/curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ecomxco/axiom/main/update.sh | bashUpdates all workflows while preserving your customized context.md.

| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 4-rule deviation system | Auto-fix bugs, missing validation, blocking deps. STOP for architectural changes. |
| 8-type test matrix | Unit, integration, regression, contract, math, boundary, security, UAT |
| Goal-backward verification | Tests user-observable truths, not implementation details |
| 9-check gap analysis | Catches what planning missed before execution begins |
| Scientific debugging | Hypothesis → evidence → root cause methodology |
| Session persistence | UAT state survives across session clears |
| Agent | Setup |
|---|---|
| Antigravity | Place in .agent/workflows/ — auto-detected |
| Claude (Projects) | Upload as project files |
| Cursor | Place in .cursor/rules/ or .agents/workflows/ |
| ChatGPT | Paste workflow content at session start |
| Gemini | Upload as files at session start |
