- propose_project(name, purpose, decisions) in a conversation goes up for a go-ahead (checked: a slug, not an existing project, no trailing question). - On go, the provisioning checklist (D1): a repository with a README, protection on its default branch, the agent as a collaborator, a build VM, a deploy key, and the project entry as YAML with <...> to fill in. - On "done", the agent reads its configuration again and adds the new project live (build_loop_agent(load=...); only additions), then checks what was provided (D4, verified, not assumed): permissions and protection as it sees them, then on a throwaway branch with an empty commit, a branch push must succeed and a push to the default branch and merging its own PR must be refused. The check's PR is closed and its branch deleted. Failures are said per item; nothing starts. - Checked: the tracking issue (the distilled decisions, carrying the new item's ID), and the project's item, agreed and labelled `design`, whose first milestone is ARCHITECTURE.md and the build plan. A conversation waiting on provisioning doesn't close as idle. - The walk replays exactly from its seed (item IDs too), and event IDs stay unique across simulated restarts, as a server's are. - The test config holds output to 8192 tokens, under the test key's per-request cost cap. Tests: new-project unit tests (checklist and its YAML parse as config, done before the entry, what isn't set up, a checked project's record and first PR, an existing name), protection enforced by a hook on the fake forge, the walk proposing projects and saying done, and an e2e new project in a repository the test operator provisions from the agent's checklist.

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 L) |
nisse-dev/ |
Dev Agent — plans and implements software projects (Part D) |
nisse-ops/ |
Sysadmin Agent — operates infrastructure (Part O) |
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.md. It covers the
shared library, both agents, the supporting services, the build order, and the
remaining open decisions.
