FDEOps

FDEOps is an open source collection of skills for AI coding agents, built around forward deployed engineering work: understanding a customer problem, deciding what to build, implementing and integrating it, verifying the result, and handing it to the team that will operate it. It ships as 35 task skills plus a coordinator skill that selects among them, installed from the command line with the npx skills installer. Each task skill is self contained and can be used on its own. The set covers briefing and discovery, comparing options, scoping and planning, building, integrating and debugging, review, evaluation and quality assurance, release and readout, and runbook and handoff. The coordinator takes customer context and a task, chooses the relevant skills, and keeps decisions and evidence connected as the work moves forward. Context persists in plain files under a separate local directory for each customer, holding the brief, the agreed outcome and who can accept it, decisions with their supporting sources, what was promised and measured, and open risks. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and Cline, with setup differing by host: Claude Code has a plugin with session hooks while other hosts use installed skills and optional workspace adapters. The project is free and open source under the MIT license, and no paid tier or hosted service is published. The vendor states that its command line tool operates on local files and Git without network calls or telemetry, though installation downloads packages and any connected AI host has its own data handling. It is the work of a single author, who presents it as a codification of his own approach to customer engineering work rather than a vendor product with a support contract.
