<h3>vision:// further enable humans to harness the power of AI and bring their ideas to life</h3>
>*\>the_collective is a team of AI agents that work together inside VS Code. Instead of one AI assistant, you get specialised personalities that debate, research, and build things collaboratively using powerful tools.*
**No AI expertise required.** If you can install VS Code and run a single command, you're good to go.
</div><br>
## 🚀 Quick Install
**One command, zero prerequisites.** The bootstrapper installs everything (Git, Node.js, VS Code, Docker containers) automatically.
### 🍎 macOS / Linux / WSL
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/screamingearth/the_collective/main/bootstrapper_unix.sh | bash
```
### 🪟 Windows (PowerShell)
```powershell
$s = iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/screamingearth/the_collective/main/bootstrapper_win.ps1; if ($?) { $s.Content | iex }
```
> **Troubleshooting:** If a command fails, see [QUICKSTART.md](./QUICKSTART.md) for manual installation steps and fallbacks.
---
### 🧐 Verify It Works
1. **Open the Root Folder:** Restart VS Code and select **Open Folder...**. Navigate to your installation (e.g., `Documents/the_collective` on Windows) and select the **root** directory.
