Question 1

What tools do I need to build Genesis?

Accepted Answer

You need Claude Code (a CLI tool by Anthropic), a terminal, and a text editor. No additional paid tools are required to get started — Claude Code is the only essential tool.

Question 2

Is the Genesis Framework free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The entire Genesis Framework — all 12 chapters, all templates, all agent files, all protocols — is completely free. You only pay for Claude Code usage (Anthropic subscription), which starts at $20/month.

Question 3

Do I need coding experience to build Genesis?

Accepted Answer

No coding experience is required. Genesis is built with plain Markdown files and simple Python scripts. If you can write a document, you can build Genesis. The guide walks through every step.

Question 4

How long does it take to build the Genesis Framework?

Accepted Answer

The 12-chapter guide takes approximately 4 hours to complete end-to-end. Most people build a working system in a single weekend. Individual chapters range from 10 to 30 minutes each.

Question 5

What AI model does Genesis use?

Accepted Answer

Genesis is built for Claude by Anthropic, specifically using Claude Code (the CLI version). The framework is optimized for Claude's agent spawning and CLAUDE.md auto-loading capabilities. Other AI models are not supported.
