Baseline Core is an open-source skills system for AI agents. Run one command and your AI tools can research markets, write PRDs, plan sprints, and design user flows -- all grounded in your business context. 12 skills, 14 frameworks, 34 reference files. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, Gemini, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot. Free forever.
Hey everyone! I'm Trent, founder of Baseline Studio. I research how product teams can work better with AI.
Baseline Core is a free, open-source skills system that wires your business context into any AI tool. You run one command, answer a few questions about your business, and your AI agents can start doing real product work -- research, PRDs, sprint planning, user flows, design, prototyping, positioning, and more.
It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, Gemini, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot. Tool-agnostic by design.
I built this because I kept seeing founders and small teams either skip product work entirely or get generic AI output that didn't sound like their business. Baseline fixes that.
Would love to hear what you think. Happy to answer any questions!
@baseline_studio On the skills side, what does a Baseline Core skill look like under the hood, is ux-design just markdown in skills/, or can a skill run code too? The npx @baseline-studio/cli init scaffold that drops skills/, context/, frameworks/, and AGENTS.md feels like the right path for tool-agnostic use across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Copilot. The trust builder for teams is drift control, version skills plus core/voice.md, stamp outputs with the versions used, and ship a tiny eval set so a tweak doesn't silently change PRDs or sprint plans.
@baseline @piroune_balachandran Great question. A skill is a markdown file with a YAML manifest. The manifest tells the AI which context and reference files to load when the skill runs. So it's not just one file, it's a skill file plus supporting references that all load together. Everything is markdown, no code execution. The AI tools themselves can run code through their own capabilities, but Baseline is purely the knowledge and methodology layer.
The drift control idea is really interesting. The system is versioned at the repo level right now, but stamping outputs with skill versions is something I want to explore. Appreciate the feedback.
This is awesome! Does it integrate with OpenClaw? How did you curate the skills?
@dan__cleary Thank you! I haven't used OpenClaw yet, but Baseline is modular by design. The skills, frameworks, and context files are all standalone markdown, so in theory they should be portable into other systems but I'd love to explore that more!
As for how I curated the skills, they come from my experience across the full product development spectrum. Each one maps to a phase of pre-engineering product work that I've done hands-on and refined across client engagements.
