Real-World Examples

Practical examples for common use cases. Copy, adapt, run.

Security Audit

Find and fix vulnerabilities in a web application:

# Create instance in auto mode
s0 init sec-audit \
  --goal 'Find security vulnerabilities: injection, XSS, auth issues, secrets in code' \
  --target /srv/webapp \
  --mode auto \
  --severity-threshold 0.5 \
  --budget 30

# Run 10 passes
s0 run sec-audit --cycles 10 --verbose

# Review findings
s0 observe sec-audit

# See what was fixed
s0 actions sec-audit

# Merge fixes into main
s0 merge sec-audit --into main

URL and Website Analysis

Analyze a live website, API, or any URL-based target:

# Analyze a competitor's site
s0 init competitor-scan \
  --goal 'Analyze site structure, technology stack, and UX patterns' \
  --target https://competitor.com \
  --mode observe

s0 run competitor-scan --cycles 5 --verbose

# Audit your own live API
s0 init api-audit \
  --goal 'Test API endpoints for security, consistency, and documentation gaps' \
  --target https://api.myapp.com \
  --mode suggest

s0 run api-audit --cycles 8

Code Quality Review

Ongoing quality improvement for a growing codebase:

# Start in observe mode
s0 init quality \
  --goal 'Architecture issues, dead code, test coverage gaps, error handling' \
  --mode observe

# Run a few passes to build understanding
s0 run quality --cycles 5

# Review, then upgrade to auto
s0 observe quality
s0 mode quality --set auto

# Install as daemon for ongoing improvement
s0 install quality --interval 1800

Contract Review

Analyze a directory of legal documents:

s0 init contracts \
  --goal 'Identify unfavorable clauses, liability risks, regulatory gaps' \
  --target /path/to/contracts \
  --mode suggest \
  --severity-threshold 0.4

s0 run contracts --cycles 8 --verbose
s0 observe contracts

Research Paper Analysis

Audit methodology, citations, and statistical rigor:

s0 init research-audit \
  --goal 'Audit methodology, cross-reference citations, check statistical validity' \
  --target /path/to/papers \
  --mode suggest \
  --severity-threshold 0.3

s0 run research-audit --cycles 10 --verbose
s0 observe research-audit

Full Product Build

Use System 0 to build and ship an entire product autonomously. This is how ViralEpic.net and 15+ other live products were created:

# Initialize with a product vision
s0 init build-product \
  --goal 'Build a complete web application: architecture, backend, frontend, deployment' \
  --mode auto \
  --budget 100

# Let it run for hours
s0 run build-product --hours 4 --verbose

# Review what it built
s0 observe build-product
s0 actions build-product

Infrastructure Audit

Review configuration files and infrastructure-as-code:

s0 init infra \
  --goal 'Misconfigured services, security gaps, single points of failure' \
  --target /path/to/infra \
  --mode supervised

# Run and approve fixes one by one
s0 run infra --cycles 5
s0 approve infra --all

Self-Analysis

System 0 can analyze itself. This is how it improves its own codebase:

s0 init self-check \
  --goal 'Find bugs, edge cases, and improvement opportunities' \
  --target self \
  --mode observe

s0 run self-check --cycles 5 --verbose

Continuous 24/7 Operation

Install as a daemon for permanent autonomous improvement:

# Install daemon with hourly checks
s0 install my-project --interval 3600 --continuous

# Check daemon status
s0 status my-project

# View accumulated findings
s0 observe my-project

# Budget caps prevent runaway spending
s0 budget my-project
