About
Ouroboros is a specification-first runtime and Agent OS designed to guide AI coding workflows. It conducts Socratic interviews to eliminate ambiguity, locks intent into an immutable seed specification, and verifies results through staged evaluation gates. Developers run it as a terminal CLI, an MCP server, or an integration across hosts like Claude Code and Codex.
From the repository: “Agent OS: the agent gets smarter on its own. We just hold the line: Interview-gated, staged evaluation, budgeted evolution loop. MCP server, 14 runtimes: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Copilot, Kiro and more.”
