MAP Framework for Claude Code

Structured AI development workflows that replace ad-hoc prompting with plan → execute → validate loops.

Based on MAP cognitive architecture (Nature Communications, 2025) — 74% improvement in planning tasks.

Why MAP?

• Structured workflows — 12 specialized agents instead of single-prompt chaos
• Quality gates — automatic validation catches errors before they compound
• 40-60% cost savings — prevents circular reasoning and scope creep
• Learning system — captures patterns for reuse across projects

Quick Start

1. Install

uv tool install mapify-cli

# or with pip
pip install mapify-cli

2. Initialize (in your project)

cd your-project
mapify init

3. Start Claude Code and run your first workflow

You'll know it's working when: Claude spawns specialized agents (TaskDecomposer → Actor → Monitor) with structured output instead of freeform responses.

Core Commands

Command	Use For
/map-efficient	Production features, refactoring, complex tasks (recommended)
/map-debug	Bug fixes and debugging
/map-fast	Small, low-risk changes
/map-debate	Complex decisions with multi-variant synthesis
/map-review	Pre-commit code review
/map-check	Quality gates and verification
/map-plan	Task decomposition without implementation
/map-release	Package release workflow
/map-resume	Resume interrupted workflows
/map-learn	Extract lessons after workflow completion

How It Works

MAP orchestrates specialized agents through slash commands:

TaskDecomposer → breaks goal into subtasks
     ↓
   Actor → generates code
     ↓
  Monitor → validates quality (loop if needed)
     ↓
 Predictor → analyzes impact (for risky changes)

The orchestration lives in .claude/commands/map-*.md prompts created by mapify init.
