AWARE

AWARE is what comes after software-as-product. Apps are text — files you can read in Notepad. AI is the runtime that executes them. Open source is what the format does automatically: there's nothing else to a "proprietary" app once it's plain English. No vendor, no installer, no walled garden. AECO is the wedge; the substrate is universal.

— the statement. The nine structural truths it rests on are in the decalog.

60-second demo

AWARE is the open framework that turns any software into an agent — skills + commands your existing AI can compose into plain-text apps. There's no new app to learn: your terminal AI is the runtime.

$ npm install -g @aware-aeco/cli                       # any OS — recommended
  # alternatives that work today:
  #   curl ... install.sh | bash             # Linux / Mac, no Node
  #   iex (irm ... install.ps1)              # Windows PowerShell, no Node

$ aware agent install tekla              # any software → an agent (skills + commands)
$ aware agent install trimble-connect
  ✓ tekla            · Tekla Open API, version-pinned
  ✓ trimble-connect  · REST

$ claude-code                    # or codex, or opencode — your AI is the runtime
  ✓ plugin: aware-aeco · 75 agents · 3,339 skills

> From this Tekla model, export each welded assembly's drawing
> to my Trimble Connect fab folder.

  → AWARE hands your AI the tekla + trimble-connect skills; it writes the
    integration and saves it as a plain-text app — readable, forkable,
    open source by construction:
  → ~/.aware/apps/welded-to-tc/welded-to-tc.app

$ aware app run welded-to-tc

That's the whole thing: any software becomes an agent, your AI composes those agents, and the result is one plain-text file you run.

winget install aware-aeco and brew install aware-aeco are queued. They need an MSI installer (Windows — scaffolded in packaging/wix/) and a Homebrew formula (Mac) plus a code-
