- tools.py: four flat tools (read_file, write_file, list_dir, run_command) per A15's reduced manifest. Deliberately unsandboxed: the VM is the trust boundary (B3) and tool use is auto-approved inside an approved unit of work (A4), so path confinement would add failure modes without adding safety. What is enforced is operational — timeout with process-group kill so a backgrounded server cannot outlive its command, output truncation so a build log cannot eat the context window, closed stdin so prompts fail fast, and a scrubbed environment so project code never sees the agent's credentials - executor.py: renders the log, calls the executor role with the reduced manifest, dispatches tool calls, and checkpoints every result (A13). Escalation is observable, never self-assessed (A12): consecutive command failures and a hard turn cap. Failed reads do not count — looking around is not failing - Until delegation exists (step 7), escalation gates to the human with the failures attached - control.py: start milestone now runs the executor; a stopped milestone gates to AWAIT_INPUT Two bugs found by running it live against real models: - A turn-ending gate tool (submit_plan) left a tool_call with no tool_result, which providers reject outright, so every planning turn after the first failed with a 400. The planner now records the gate as the call's outcome, which is also the truthful transcript - The renderer now emits a placeholder for any tool_call lacking a result, so a crash between call and result (A3) cannot poison the transcript permanently Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Nisse
Two self-hosted AI agents sharing a common library, named for the Nordic farm spirit that keeps the place running overnight and expects to be treated well in return.
| Package | Role |
|---|---|
nisse-core/ |
Shared library both agents sit on (Part A) |
nisse-dev/ |
Dev Agent — plans and implements software projects (Part B) |
nisse-ops/ |
Sysadmin Agent — operates infrastructure (Part C) |
One repository, three packages. The library does not exist as code yet: it is
extracted from nisse-dev once that agent works (build-order step 10), as a
package split within this tree.
Architecture
The system-level specification lives at
docs/Architecture-Build-Spec.md. It covers the
shared library, both agents, the supporting services, the build order, and the
remaining open decisions.
