APEX v6.0.0 - AI Engineering OS for Claude Code

What's New in v6.0

APEX is a framework that runs on top of Claude Code and gives it
persistent memory, real enforcement, token awareness, and crash recovery.

New in v6.0

• Crash recovery with atomic checkpoints (survives OOM kills)
• Smart Router — classifies every task before loading context (MICRO/LIGHT/STANDARD/FULL)
• hooks_generator.py — converts brain constraints into enforcement hooks automatically
• Identity system — name your AI anything (JARVIS, ALFRED, NOVA...)
• Auto-update checker with 24h cache, fully opt-in
• Reference injection hook — saves ~28,000 tokens vs loading all docs
• 3 new commands: /brainstorm, /spawn, /rollback, /optimize-context

By the numbers

• 19 intelligence modules (all local Python, zero extra API calls)
• 20 commands (lazy-loaded Skills format)
• 7 enforcement hooks
• 56% average session cost reduction
• 91% startup token reduction
• 90%+ rule compliance vs ~60% with CLAUDE.md alone

Install

unzip claude-orchestrator-apex-v6.0-COMPLETE.zip
cd your-project
bash ~/claude-orchestrator-apex-v6/install.sh
python3 .claude/intelligence/apex_identity.py setup
python3 .claude/intelligence/hooks_generator.py

Then open Claude Code and run /setup

Upgrading from v5.x

bash install.sh --update
python3 .claude/intelligence/hooks_generator.py --force
python3 .claude/intelligence/skills_manager.py install

Requirements

• Claude Code (May 2026+)
• Python 3.8+
• Git
• Bash

APEX 4.2 — Zero-friction setup, auto-generated CLAUDE.md

What's new in 4.2

New: /setup command
Run this once on any project: new or existing. Auto-detects your stack,
generates CLAUDE.md automatically, seeds the project brain, warms the plan
cache. Full onboarding in under 2 minutes with no manual config.

New: generate_claude_md.py
Auto-generates a correct, production-ready CLAUDE.md from your actual project.
Reads package.json / requirements.txt / go.mod, detects framework version,
generates matching Hard Rules, conventions, and Good Pattern for your stack.

Fix: Python 3.8 and 3.9 compatibility
All 11 intelligence modules now work on Python 3.8+. Previously would crash
on import with a TypeError on older Python versions.

Fix: Windows atomic writes
All file write operations now use os.replace() throughout. No data loss on
interrupt, no FileExistsError on Windows Git Bash second run.

Upgrade from 4.1

bash install.sh --update

Preserves your CLAUDE.md, brain, trajectories, and taste memory.
Updates commands and intelligence modules only.
