newtype OS

Multi-Agent Content Team — a multi-agent orchestration system built for content production

Created by huangyihe.

---

What is this

At its core, newtype OS is an 8-agent multi-layer orchestration system equipped with specialized skills and a memory system, purpose-built for content production.

Think of it as a content team living in your terminal. The Chief (Editor-in-Chief) talks to you, breaks down requirements; the Deputy dispatches execution; 6 specialists each handle their domain — research, fact-checking, retrieval, extraction, writing, and editing.

You ↔ Chief (Editor-in-Chief)
          ↓
      Deputy (Deputy Editor)
          ↓
      Researcher · Fact-Checker · Archivist · Extractor · Writer · Editor

Installation & Usage

newtype OS is designed for both humans and agents.

For Humans

Option 1: newtype CLI (Recommended)

A ready-to-use terminal AI assistant with the full agent team built in.

npm install -g @newtype-os/cli

# Launch the TUI
nt

Option 2: As an OpenCode Plugin

If you already use OpenCode:

cd ~/.config/opencode
bun add @newtype-os/plugin

Edit ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

{
  "plugin": ["newtype-profile"]
}

For Agents

After installing newtype CLI, the system ships with a full set of CLI commands (nt research, nt write, nt pipeline, etc.) designed specifically for agent invocation.

Run nt init and newtype will automatically detect locally installed AI development tools and inject skill files, teaching agents how to use these CLI commands:

npm install -g @newtype-os/cli
nt init

Supported tools: Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, Zed, Goose, Amazon Q, and more.

Once injected, these agents know when and how to call nt research, nt pipeline, and other commands to augment their own capabilities.

Agent Team

Agent	Role	Responsibility
Chief	Editor-in-Chief	Your entry point — thought partner + task coordinator
Deputy	Deputy Editor	Chief's execution layer, dispatches downstream specialists
Researcher	Researcher	External intelligence gathering, trend discovery
Fact-Checker	Verifier	Fact verification, source credibility assessment
Archivist	Archivist	Internal knowledge base retrieval and correlation
Extractor	Extractor	PDF/image/web content extraction to Markdown
Writer	Writer	Transforms materials into structured first drafts
Editor	Editor	Language polish, logic strengthening, style consistency

You only interact with Chief. Chief automatically dispatches other agents as needed.

Built-in Skills

Agents auto-load the corresponding skill framework when executing tasks:

Skill	Command	Description
Super Analyst	/super-analyst	12 analysis frameworks (SWOT, Porter's Five Forces, First Principles, etc.)
Super Writer	/super-writer	6 writing methodologies (W.R.I.T.E, AIDA, Storytelling, etc.)
Super Fact-Checker	/super-fact-checker	Systematic fact-checking + source credibility assessment
Super Editor	/super-editor	4-layer editing: structure → paragraph → sentence → word
Super Interviewer	/super-interviewer	Deep dialogue techniques for requirement mining and brainstorming

Chief auto-loads the relevant skill when a task calls for a structured framework. You can also trigger them manually via slash commands.

CLI Commands

Beyond the TUI, newtype provides a set of specialized commands for CLI and agent invocation (all support --json output):

Command	Agent(s)	Description
nt research [topic]	Researcher + Fact-Checker	Deep research + source verification
nt write [topic]	Writer	Multi-style content generation
nt edit [file]	Editor	4-layer content refinement
nt fact-check [topic]	Fact-Checker	Fact-checking and cross-verification
nt analyze [topic]	Chief + Researcher	Framework-based structured analysis
nt extract	Extractor	Extract content from files/URLs/images
nt archive <action>	Archivist	Knowledge base CRUD and semantic search
nt pipeline [topic]	Full orchestration	Research → Analyze → Write → Fact-check → Edit

Examples:

# Research a topic and output a report
nt research "AI Agent architecture trends 2026" -o research.md

# Write an article based on research
nt write --input research.md --style newsletter -o draft.md

# Full pipeline in one command
nt pipeline "The future of MCP" --style essay --output-dir ./output/

Memory System

newtype has a built-in automatic memory system — no manual management needed:

• Daily summaries: Auto-generated LLM summaries after session idle, stored in .newtype/memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
• Full transcripts: Complete conversation history per session in .newtype/memory/full/
• Long-term memory: Old logs auto-archived to .newtype/MEMORY.md every 7 days
• Auto-recall: Relevant memories are automatically retrieved and injected into context during conversations

Use /memory-consolidate to manually trigger archival.

Knowledge Base

newtype provides two knowledge base initialization commands to help agents quickly understand your project:

Command	Generated File	Description
/init	AGENTS.md	Project-level instruction file defining agent behavior and context for the current project
/init-deep	KNOWLEDGE.md	Deep knowledge index that auto-scans project structure and generates a detailed codebase map

Configuration

Connect Model Providers

Use the /connect command in the TUI to connect model providers (75+ supported), or via CLI:

nt auth login

Configure Agent Models

Option 1: Use the /agent-models command in the TUI to configure models for each agent through the interface.

Option 2: Edit the config file directly.

• newtype CLI: ~/.config/newtype/newtype-profile.json
• OpenCode plugin: ~/.config/opencode/newtype-profile.json

{
  "agents": {
    "chief": { "model": "your-preferred-model" },
    "deputy": { "model": "your-preferred-model" },
    "researcher": { "model": "your-preferred-model" },
    "writer": { "model": "your-preferred-model", "temperature": 0.7 }
  }
}

All 8 agents can be configured with independent models and parameters.

MCP Servers

MCP	Default	Config
websearch (Exa)	Enabled	None required
sequential-thinking	Enabled	None required
tavily	Disabled	Requires api_key
firecrawl	Disabled	Requires api_key

Customize Chief's Personality

Create .newtype/SOUL.md (or .opencode/SOUL.md for the OpenCode plugin) to customize Chief's communication style:

/init-soul  # Generate default template

Disable Features

{
  "disabled_agents": ["fact-checker"],
  "disabled_skills": ["super-analyst"],
  "disabled_hooks": ["memory-system"],
  "disabled_mcps": ["sequential-thinking"]
}
