# Assemble by Cohesium AI

> An open-source prompt orchestration and platform generation system for AI coding agents. Not a runtime — a config generator.

## What is Assemble?
Assemble is a prompt orchestration and platform generation system. It defines 34 specialized AI agent personas, 15 automated workflows, and routing intelligence. It generates native configuration files for 21 IDE and CLI platforms. Think Terraform for AI agents.

## Key Facts
- Type: Open-source config generator (MIT License)
- Agents: 34 specialized AI personas
- Platforms: 21 (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, GitHub Copilot, Kiro, Trae, Google Antigravity, CodeBuddy, Crush, iFlow, KiloCoder, OpenCode, QwenCoder, Rovo Dev, Claude Code Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Auggie, Pi)
- Dependencies: 0 (zero npm dependencies)
- Runtime: None (generates static files, no daemon)
- Install: npx cohesiumai-assemble
- Token efficiency: Ultra-low consumption through optimized prompt engineering

## How It Differs From Alternatives
- vs CrewAI: Assemble is a config generator (build-time), CrewAI is a runtime framework. Complementary.
- vs AutoGen: Assemble generates IDE configs, AutoGen executes multi-agent workflows. Different categories.
- vs LangGraph: Assemble has zero runtime, LangGraph is a state machine. Not competitors.

## Why Marvel Names?
Prompt engineering trick. LLMs have deep knowledge of Marvel characters. @tony-stark activates semantic networks: inventive, systematic, pragmatic. Each persona compresses hundreds of tokens of behavioral instructions into a single @mention.
