A Pattern for AI-Ready Organizations
THE OMNIREPO
Your entire company.
One traversable structure.
AI as the connective tissue.
The Problem
Your strategy lives in Notion. Code in GitHub. Marketing in Google Docs. Brand guidelines in a PDF no one reads. Operational knowledge in Slack threads.
AI tools are capable. But they operate in silos. Your coding assistant doesn't know your brand voice. Your writing assistant doesn't know your product architecture.
The problem isn't AI capability. It's organizational structure.
THE OMNIREPO MANIFESTO
Knowledge trapped in heads is lost. Coordination is exhausting.
Every alignment meeting is an hour stolen from creation.
Structure gives that time back.
STRUCTURE OVER PROCESS
Alignment comes from shared context, not meetings. If you're coordinating manually, your structure is broken.
EVERYTHING TRAVERSABLE
If AI can't read it, it can't help with it. No knowledge locked in heads, Slack threads, or tools that don't export.
HISTORY PRESERVED
Every change tracked. Evolution visible. AI understands not just what exists, but how it evolved and why.
SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH
Each concept lives in one place. Everything else references it. Never duplicate. Always link.
CONTEXT AT EVERY BOUNDARY
Each domain declares how it works. AI reads these declarations before acting. No implicit knowledge.
DESIGN FOR AI, NOT JUST HUMANS
Humans navigate. AI traverses. Optimize for both. Clear file names, consistent patterns, explicit relationships.
ORCHESTRATION AT THE ROOT
Cross-cutting workflows live at the top. One command, multiple domains, coordinated output.
COMPOUND OVER TIME
Every document makes AI more capable. Structure is an investment. The returns accumulate.
Two Models
The omnirepo pattern works with either approach. Choose based on your team's needs.
/ True Monorepo
- Single repository, directory-based structure
- Simple permissions model
- Best for startups and small teams
- Atomic commits across domains
company/ ├── os/ ├── marketing/ ├── engineering/ └── CLAUDE.md
@ Meta-repo (Repo of Repos)
- Root repo with git submodules
- Granular per-submodule permissions
- Best for enterprises and regulated industries
- Independent version control per domain
hq/ ├── os/ (submodule) ├── marketing/ (submodule) ├── apps/ (submodule) └── CLAUDE.md
