Framework

The intellectual core of aut-o. Install with npm install @aut-o/framework.

12 Tenets

Non-negotiable principles that govern every autonomous decision:

  1. Autonomous by Default
  2. Quality Gates Everywhere
  3. Evidence Over Opinion
  4. Self-Healing Systems
  5. Continuous Improvement
  6. Security by Design
  7. Observable Everything
  8. Human Escalation Protocol
  9. Continuous Grounding
  10. Deterministic Reproducibility
  11. Graceful Degradation
  12. Knowledge Accumulation

18 Skills

Reusable capabilities with defined inputs, outputs, and workflows. Skills cover the full lifecycle: research, debate, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, and improvement.

aut-o Score

The proprietary scoring engine that powers quality gates:

  • 40% Deterministic — lint, types, test coverage, security scan, bundle size
  • 40% LLM-as-Judge — multi-model panel (Claude + GPT + Gemini) with rubric-based scoring
  • 20% Historical Calibration — learns from past outcomes to adjust dimension weights

10 Quality Gates

Each pipeline stage has a quality gate with a minimum score threshold. No stage advances until its gate passes. Gates are configured per-stage with thresholds from 80 to 95.

7 Grounding Generators

Auto-generate grounding files for every AI tool: AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, .cursor/rules/, llms.txt, manifest.json, and copilot-instructions.md. Keeps all AI tools synchronized with your project state.
