Repository operating systemGuided setup · Review-first GitHub workflow

The control layer for your AI-built GitHub project

The customer path

From purchase to a reviewable pull request.

Simple for the buyer, controlled for the repository. Every write remains review-first.

  1. 01

    Choose an annual plan

    Start with Starter or Pro for one named repository, or Unlimited for eligible internal repositories.

  2. 02

    Open your secure customer account

    After verified provider confirmation, your purchase email contains a short-lived account link.

  3. 03

    Connect GitHub and choose a repository

    Create a new repository or connect an existing one. The GitHub App only sees repositories you select.

  4. 04

    Review the complete setup

    Founder Repo OS prepares a dedicated branch and draft pull request. You decide whether to merge.

One operating path, not a stack of handoffs

The control layer around the tools you already use.

Individual tools can solve part of the job. Founder Repo OS connects the rules, review, and release path around one repository.

Comparison describes the difference between an integrated operating path and separate point tools. It does not compare named providers.

Visible operating structure

From scattered context to a repository your team can operate.

Founder Repo OS proposes a reviewable operating layer. You inspect the exact files and diff before anything is written.

Before

Context lives in too many places.

  • /project root
  • notes-final.mduntracked decision
  • docs/partial context
  • agent-rules-v2.mdunclear source
  • scripts/unreviewed workflow
  • .github/no review template

With Founder Repo OS

Context, rules, and review have a home.

  • /project root
  • README.mdshared orientation
  • docs/DECISIONS.mdrecorded decisions
  • docs/OPERATING-RHYTHM.mdreview cadence
  • project/AI_AGENT_RULES.mdrepository-specific rules
  • .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.mdreview-first changes

Illustrative structure only. Your Guided Setup plan is repository-specific and remains review-first.

Control stays with the repository owner

Fast setup. Deliberate changes.

Founder Repo OS prepares the work. You retain the final repository decision.

  • No direct write to main
  • Full diff before a repository write
  • Draft pull request, never an automatic merge
  • GitHub installation tokens stay server-side

Before you choose

The questions that decide fit.

Clear answers on fit, annual access, repository scope, client use, and what happens after purchase.

01Can agencies use this for client repositories?

Only with a separate Repository Agency subscription. Repository Starter, Repository Pro, and Repository Unlimited do not include rights to install or deliver Founder Repo OS inside client repositories.

02Does Repository Unlimited include everything in Repository Pro?

Yes. Repository Unlimited includes the complete Repository Pro setup layer for unlimited eligible internal repositories of the same purchasing legal entity. It does not include client repositories, client delivery, resale, redistribution, or white-label rights.

03Do I need a subscription?

Yes. Repository Starter, Repository Pro, Repository Unlimited, and Repository Agency are annual subscriptions billed once per year and automatically renewed until canceled. There is no monthly billing or free trial. Repository Agency remains sales-assisted and is not offered through the public self-serve cards.

04Why is Founder Repo OS an annual subscription?

Founder Repo OS is a maintained operating foundation, not a one-time template pack. While your subscription is active, relevant updates to security controls, governance rules, AI-agent boundaries, review workflows, and compatibility with the supported operating model are included. Repository rights and limits still follow your selected plan. Founder Repo OS does not replace GitHub security features, security products, or professional security audits, and it does not guarantee security outcomes.

05Why not just use AI-agent rules or a template?

Agent rules and templates solve one part of the problem. Founder Repo OS establishes a review-first operating model around your repository: project-specific instructions, repository context, review gates, and a controlled GitHub setup path. It works with the AI coding tools you already use rather than replacing them; the exact scope follows your selected plan.

06What happens after purchase?

Paddle confirms the annual subscription directly to Founder Repo OS through signed webhook events. The checkout browser receives a secure customer session, while Resend sends the verified Paddle buyer address a short-lived, one-time account-access link plus the WebApp URL. The buyer signs in, connects GitHub, reviews the repository scan and full installation plan, then approves a dedicated setup branch and draft pull request.

07Can I use it with an existing repository?

Repository Pro and the broader-scope plans include conflict-aware review for existing initialized GitHub repositories. Proposed changes remain visible before a setup branch and draft pull request are created.

08Does it write directly to main?

No. The implemented setup path uses a dedicated setup branch, shows the full diff before any merge decision, and opens a draft pull request. Nothing merges automatically; the repository owner remains in control.

Keep the speed. Add the control.

Your AI project needs a system for change.

Start with a governed repository foundation. Keep it maintained as your AI workflow evolves, then expand only when your internal scope or client delivery rights require it.
