Give an instruction

The NIOS instruction gateway

Tell NIOS what to build.It delivers, governed.

Describe a task in plain language. NIOS analyses, plans, implements, tests and prepares a pull request — through agents that act only within your policies, with every step audited.

Give an instructionHow it works

Independent capabilities. Composed intelligence.

Example instruction

Add rate limiting to the public API and cover it with tests.

  1. NIOS Gateway
  2. NIOS Orchestrator
  3. NIOS Agents
  4. NIOS Policy
  5. Pull request

How it works

From one sentence to a governed pull request.

  1. 01

    You instruct

    Write the task, point to a repository and choose how much autonomy NIOS gets.

  2. 02

    NIOS plans

    The Gateway authenticates the request; the Orchestrator turns it into a workflow of agents and capabilities.

  3. 03

    Policy decides

    Every action is checked by NIOS Policy. Anything irreversible waits for a human approval.

  4. 04

    You receive

    Code, tests, evidence and a prepared pull request — with the full audit trail of what happened.

The ecosystem

Fifteen products, one owner per concern.

Each capability installs and works alone. They meet through versioned contracts — never by importing each other.

Interfaces

  • NIOS Studio

    Visual interface: workflows, runs and approvals.

  • NIOS CLI

    One command to install, wire, check and deliver.

  • NIOS Gateway

    Authenticated front door: API keys, MCP and webhooks.

Composition

  • NIOS Squad

    Specialized squads of agents with an autonomy level.

  • NIOS Workflows

    Catalog of declarative, lint-governed workflows.

  • NIOS Agents

    Declarative, versioned agents with closed tool lists.

Engine

  • NIOS Orchestrator

    The engine: steps, retries, conditions and human approvals.

Capabilities

  • NIOS Knowledge

    Shared technical memory: code, docs, ADRs and issues.

  • NIOS Connectors

    Integrations written once: GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Jira.

  • NIOS Runtime

    Isolated workspaces to build, test and run code.

  • NIOS Policy

    Policy as code: may this actor do this action?

  • NIOS Evals

    Decides objectively whether a result was good.

  • NIOS Analytics

    Understand a project before it goes to production.

Foundation

  • NIOS Core

    Registry, governed execution, identities and audit.

  • NIOS SDK

    Build capabilities and plugins against the real contracts.

Humans stay in control

Autonomy is a policy level, not a mode switch.

Even at the highest level, secrets are always denied to agents and destructive actions always wait for a human.

  1. read-only

    Read-only

    Analysis only. Nothing is changed.

  2. assisted

    Assisted

    NIOS proposes; a human applies.

  3. supervised

    Supervised

    Executes changes behind the workflow gates; production waits for a human.

  4. autonomous

    Autonomous

    Executes pre-authorized actions within policy; production infrastructure waits for a human.

Principles

  • Local-first

    Runs on one machine with SQLite and files. No cloud required.

  • Secure by default

    Deny by default, least privilege, isolation, redaction.

  • Observable

    Correlation ids end to end, events and audit trails.

  • Vendor-neutral

    Models, clouds and SaaS live in plugins, never in contracts.
