This is the tagline. Ruflo and OMC are developer tools. Aegis is **enterprise middleware** — the layer between "someone typed a message" and "code shipped to production." The moat is compliance, governance, observability. Don't compete on agent count. Compete on trust.

## Market Pulse — 2026-05-12

Live star counts and release velocity as of May 12:

| Competitor | ⭐ Today | 3-day delta | Latest release | npm installs/week | Ship cadence |
|-----------|---------|-------------|----------------|-------------------|-------------|
| **Ruflo** | 49,305 | +2,300 | v3.7.0-alpha.23 (May 11) | 56,915 | Multiple/day (alpha) |
| **oh-my-claudecode** | 33,491 | +400 | v4.13.7 (May 9) | 7,341 | Weekly |
| **Aegis** | ~10 | — | v0.6.7-preview.1 (May 11) | 162 | 5–10 PRs/day |

## New Findings (2026-05-11 Deep Dive)
**Key signals:**
- Ruflo gained 2,300 stars in 3 days — accelerating. Still pre-stable (alpha releases).
- OMC grew 400 stars — steady. On v4.13.7 with stable weekly releases.
- Aegis npm installs: 162/week. Ruflo: 56,915/week (351× our volume). OMC: 7,341/week (45× our volume).
- Ruflo shipped 15+ alpha releases between May 6–11. Velocity is extreme.

**Takeaway:** The install friction gap is costing us real users. Ruflo's `npx ruflo init` and OMC's `/plugin install` capture developers before they discover Aegis. PR #3232 (2-command quickstart docs) addresses this at the docs level. The code-level simplification (#3181) needs Ema's product direction.

### oh-my-claudecode — Critical Path
- **12 features we lack:** autopilot mode, multi-agent team orchestration (plan→PRD→exec→verify→fix), cross-model advisor (/ccg), deep interview (Socratic requirements), skill learning system, smart model routing (30-50% token savings), HUD statusline, magic keyword triggers, persistent verify/fix loops, tmux CLI workers, multi-language docs (7 languages)
