How do I install Simone for Claude Code?

Use the universal installer in the hello-simone directory, which supports both legacy and MCP versions. Follow the setup instructions in the respective README files for detailed steps, ensuring compatibility with your Claude Code setup.

What's the difference between legacy Simone and MCP Simone?

Legacy Simone uses a directory-based task management system with a more complete feature set, while MCP Simone implements the Model Context Protocol for enhanced context tracking and is in early access, so it might have fewer stable features but offers future potential.

Can Simone work with AI assistants other than Claude?

Simone is specifically designed for Claude Code, so its structured prompts and tools are optimized for Claude's workflow. While adaptable, it may not integrate seamlessly with other AI assistants, limiting its use in mixed-tool environments.

How does Simone handle task prioritization and deadlines?

Simone organizes tasks in a directory structure and uses structured prompts for AI context, but it doesn't explicitly mention built-in prioritization or deadline tracking features, relying more on manual setup or AI interpretation within the workflow.

Simone vs traditional project management tools for AI development?

Simone is specialized for AI-assisted workflows with Claude, offering structured prompts and MCP integration for better context handling, whereas traditional tools like Jira lack AI-specific optimizations but may provide more robust team collaboration and reporting features.

How to migrate from legacy Simone to the MCP version?

Migration processes aren't detailed in the README, and since MCP is in early access, it's recommended to start fresh or consult the project's issues for guidance. The dual system structure means users may need to manually adapt tasks during transition.

What is Simone?

Simone is a project management framework specifically designed for AI-assisted development with Claude Code. It provides structured prompts and tools that help AI assistants understand project context, manage tasks, and maintain workflow consistency. The framework addresses the challenge of integrating AI into development processes by creating predictable, organized collaboration patterns.

Target Audience

Developers using Claude Code for AI-assisted programming who need structured project management and better context handling for their AI workflows.

Value Proposition

Developers choose Simone because it provides specialized project management structures optimized for AI collaboration, offering both legacy directory-based systems and modern MCP implementations for flexible integration into existing workflows.

Overview

A project management framework for AI-assisted development with Claude Code

Use Cases

Best For

Managing complex AI-assisted development projects with Claude Code
Creating structured prompts for consistent AI collaboration
Tracking development activities and project context over time
Organizing tasks in directory-based systems for AI comprehension
Integrating Model Context Protocol into AI development workflows
Setting up universal installation for multiple Simone versions

Not Ideal For

Teams using AI assistants other than Claude Code, as Simone's structured prompts and tools are specifically optimized for Claude's ecosystem.
Projects requiring out-of-the-box integrations with popular project management platforms like Jira or Asana, since Simone focuses on its own directory-based and MCP systems.
Organizations needing mature, stable features without early-access risks, given the MCP version is still in active development.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Structured AI Collaboration

Provides predefined prompts and directory-based task management that help AI assistants understand project context, as highlighted in the README's key features for effective AI workflow integration.

Flexible Implementation Options

Offers both legacy and MCP versions with a universal installer, allowing users to choose based on their needs and ease of setup, as detailed in the repository structure and installation guides.

Enhanced Context Management

MCP integration enables activity tracking and better context handling over time, improving AI-assisted workflow consistency, which is a core feature of the new implementation.

Specialized for AI Development

Designed specifically for AI-assisted development with Claude Code, addressing unique challenges in AI collaboration through structured project management paradigms.

Cons

Early Stage MCP Version

The MCP implementation is in early access, meaning it lacks the maturity and complete feature set of the legacy system, potentially causing instability and limited functionality, as warned in the README.

Claude-Specific Limitation

Simone is optimized exclusively for Claude Code, making it less suitable for projects using multiple or different AI assistants, which restricts its flexibility in diverse development environments.

Dual System Complexity

Maintaining two versions (legacy and MCP) can lead to confusion and fragmentation, especially during the transition period mentioned in the README, requiring users to navigate separate documentation and features.
