Every tool call, LLM request, memory write, and file change flows through Kernel.act() — Probity → Guardian → Policy → LoopDetector → Budget → Audit — so a denial is a wall, not a suggestion.

What is aiZee?

A zero-compromise, version-controlled operating system that sits between you and every AI coding assistant — Cursor, Claude, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, Devin — enforcing engineering standards, security policies, and architectural discipline on every line of generated code.

The problem it solves: AI assistants hallucinate APIs, forget conventions, ignore security, and silently ship technical debt. aiZee forces them to read from a centralized source of truth before writing a single line — and in v6, every action is verified while it executes, not just documented after.

Without aiZee	With aiZee
Context drift after a few prompts	Rules + personas hard-loaded every session
Deprecated packages, silent tech debt	Exact-version tech-stack locked via live MCP docs
Raw SQL, missing XSS, weak secrets	OWASP, zero-trust, RBAC enforced by default
Random drive-by refactoring	Surgical changes through policy + budget + audit gates
Guardrails that exist but aren't on the path	v6: enforcement wired into Kernel.act() + every MCP call

What's New — Unified Skill Library & BMAD Runtime (v6.8.0+)

The skill surface grew from 155 to 245 skills — the entire agent-skills ecosystem is now vendored, persona-mapped, trigger-enriched (EN+AR), and integrity-locked inside the repo:

• BMAD-METHOD vendored — all ~34 BMAD skills (bmad-*, bmod-*) live in skills/ with the project-local _bmad/ runtime (config, scripts, ticket tree). Agents: Mary (analyst), John (PM), Winston (architect), Sally (UX), Sofia (PO), Amelia (dev) — invoked by natural language, no global install needed.
• Marketing/growth suite — ~55 skills (seo-audit, ai-seo, cro, ads, cold-email, launch, pricing, paywalls, onboarding, referrals, revops…) with bilingual triggers.
• Lifecycle-aware persona routing — runtime/lifecycle.py reads the active BMAD initiative (_bmad/config.toml + _bmad-output/ artifacts) and biases persona detection toward the current phase (discovery → PRD → breakdown → architecture → UX → implementation → review → retro). Non-BMAD projects are unaffected (phase=None → keyword-only routing).
• Handoff hints — detect_multiple emits next_persona_hint, the highest-scoring persona outside the selected set, injected into context for smooth cross-domain transitions.
• Per-project skill distribution — scripts/distribute-agent-skills.py junctions/hardlinks all 245 skills into .agents/skills (every agent harness: Devin, Claude, Cursor, Codex…) plus .claude/skills and .devin/skills; nothing stays global, so unrelated sessions stay lean.
• Trigger enrichment + lint — imported skills got Arabic glossary triggers; scripts/enrich-imported-triggers.py / enrich-bmad-triggers.py are idempotent and re-runnable after upstream updates.
• FINOPS persona fixed — new dedicated finops skill replaces the mismatched performance-engineer mapping.
• External deps manifest — deps.yaml declares every tool aiZee features need (binaries, pip, git-repos, docker, env); aizee deps check|install verifies and provisions them (see External Tooling).

What's New in v6.7.0 — vercel-labs Adoption Pass

From a survey of all 396 vercel-labs repos (28 deep-studied; report in vercel-labs-study-2026-11.md):

• Inert plan engine — aizee plan validate|run|resume runs callscript-style JSON plans: no eval, all-issues validation, bounded fan-outs/call budgets, suspend/resume that never re-runs settled side effects, auditable plan_hash.
• Skill lock + drift — skills-lock.json pins every skill by folder hash (skillFolderHash equivalent); aizee skill lock-check reports changed/missing/unlocked, lock-update rebuilds.
• Canonical SKILL.md lint — kebab-case dirs, exact SKILL.md, 500-line progressive-disclosure cap, folded into aizee skill lint.
• MCP tool-surface freeze — aizee mcp freeze <server> [--check] snapshot-locks tool definitions and detects added/removed/changed tools.
• Doc→code drift gate — aizee check-docs validates wiki path#symbol refs links across docs (lat.md-style).
• Offline models.dev catalog — aizee models --catalog [--query]: 886 models/12 providers vendored snapshot.
• Error contract — AizeeError.scope/public + to_public_dict() redaction for safe MCP/CLI envelopes.
• Activation layer — every capability is wired for automatic use, not just installed: a Command Surface & Auto-Triggers section in AGENTS.md (propagated to all agent adapters) + four trigger skills (inert-plan-runner, mcp-surface-integrity, docs-drift-check, skill-lock-integrity) so persona-detection surfaces the right command at the right moment, and event rules fire the gates (post-install → lock-check, MCP change → freeze --check, doc edit → check-docs) without being asked.

What's New in v6.6.0 — Repo-Study Adoption Pass

Adopted from a structured study of google/elephant-goldfish-model, wotschofsky/domain-digger, and godotengine/godot (full report in repo-study-2026-11.md):

• Goldfish spec review — aizee spec review <spec_id|--file> [--preset] plans a fresh-zero-context reviewer pipeline (EGM port): semantic spec/plan split, 5-stage reviewer personas, severity triage + traceability consolidation. Vendored Apache-2.0 rubrics + personas live under resources/; workflow: workflows/65-goldfish-review.md.
• Multi-harness skill packaging — aizee skill link --pack <dir> emits an EGM-style portable bundle: canonical plugin.json plus .claude-plugin/, .codex-plugin/, .cursor-plugin/, .agents/ manifests, vendored skills/, agents/ personas, and resources/ rubrics. Replacement is fail-closed on non-bundle destinations.
• Domain intelligence toolkit — aizee intel <domain> plus 7 MCP tools (runtime/dns_wire.py + runtime/domain_intel.py, a Python rewrite of domain-digger concepts): wire-format DNS codec, UDP→TCP fallback, iterative authoritative walking, DoH, WHOIS, certificate history, and subdomain enumeration — all bounded and fail-closed.
• Skill scenario evals — eval/skill_scenarios.py runs static/live behavioral checks (eval/scenarios/goldfish-review.yaml) and feeds the eval harness as a skill-scenarios gate.
• Godot reference — full engine source pinned under refs/godot (local-only) + tech-stack/godot-4.md records the verified portable install (4.7.2.stable.official) for the GAME vertical.

What's New in v6.1.0 — Lean Surface

The headline change: the default surface is small and honest. The MCP fleet is reduced to what is actually used, marketing tool modules are gated off instead of deleted, dead code is gone, and installers remove retired files on upgrade.

Lean defaults

• 3 MCP servers by default — aizee (governance), graphify, context7. The marketing/social/freelance MCP servers are gone from every shipped config.
• 46 MCP tools enabled — 7 marketing-domain tool modules (ads, analytics, CRO, email, freelance, SEO, social) still ship but are disabled via disabledToolModules in aizee_mcp/config.json. Remove a name to re-enable it.
• 31 plugins disabled — plugins.yaml ships them enabled: false; the sandbox blocks the rest. code2video, graphify, context7 stay on.
• Dead code removed — unused runtime modules (a2a_server, semantic_search, provider_registry, sql_injection_guard, plugin_system, …) and their tests deleted.

Upgrade hygiene

• Stale-file cleanup — scripts/stale_files.txt lists retired paths; install.ps1, install.sh, and scripts/update.py delete them from existing installs while preserving state/, brain/, and .env.
• Unified test tree — all tests live under tests/{runtime,memory,eval,aizee_mcp,…}.
• Design library seeded — design-library/ now ships real DESIGN.md seeds (editorial, midnight, minimal) so DesignLibrary no longer resolves an empty catalog.
• Memory.md self-compaction — kept under its 500-line budget via aizee memory compact (archive in memory/archive/).

v6.0.0 recap — Governed Runtime

Enforcement moved onto the execution path in v6.0.0:

• runtime/enforcement.py — unified helper: MCP firewall → AgentGateway request checks → execution → gateway response checks → audit. Shared by every call path.
• Kernel.act() — AgentGateway verdicts (ALLOW / REDACT / BLOCK) now gate real actions; prompt-injection and secret-leak checks apply to prompt-like fields without blocking ordinary file writes.
• Outbound MCP — McpClient (sync + async) and McpAgent run the firewall and gateway around every external tool call.
• Inbound MCP — the aiZee server's tools keep RBAC and get gateway wrapping.

Detection depth

• Injection detector L1→L3 — 13-technique regex layer + L2 embedding-similarity layer + optional L3 LLM-judge hook. Deterministic/model-free by default.
• Dual-LLM hardening — quarantined worker output is schema-enforced via Pydantic; parse failure is fail-safe.
• MCP 2026-07-28 stateless — per-request protocolVersion negotiation + Mcp-Method/Mcp-Name header routing (runtime/mcp_protocol.py).

Governance depth

• APL verdicts — policies can now modify (rewrite payloads, audited) and observe (log-only) in addition to allow/ask/deny.
• Lifecycle hooks — output.pre_send and memory.pre_write phases; hooks can veto or mutate.
• aizee heal — safe autofix orchestrator (dry-run default, --apply with confirmation, audit to state/heal.log).
• Per-PR budgets — cumulative spend limits keyed by PR id (AIZEE_PR_ID), on top of session/hour/day windows.
• Release gate — eval/release_gate.py runs the reliability priority ladder over recorded rollouts; wired into aizee ci.
• Chaos suite — eval/chaos.py fault-injection scenarios + error-budget math.

Memory & protocol surfaces

• Bi-temporal memory — store.as_of(as_of=..., valid_at=...) answers "what did we know then" and "what was true then" separately; pinned, soft-delete with tombstone-time queries, contradiction relations.
• aizee memory compact — Memory.md auto-compaction (500-line budget, [PINNED] rescue, archive under memory/archive/).
• Code Mode — aizee codemode executes sandboxed Python snippets that call MCP tools directly (AST scan + restricted builtins + governed bridge + timeout).
• aizee bootstrap — materialize a minimal OS root after pip install aizee (idempotent, dry-run default).
• Advisory audits — aizee task overcheck (over-engineering signals from plan + graph), aizee task curriculum (staged learning plan from tech-stack refs).
• Cross-harness handoffs — aizee memory handoff --to-harness <h> stamps a portable aizee.handoff.v1 doc into the scoped vault (brain/handoffs/, fail-closed gitignore guard) so another agent picks up exactly where this one stopped.
• Instincts — aizee memory instinct-* records atomic trigger→action behaviors with confidence 0.3→0.9; observed in ≥2 projects → auto-promotes project→user scope.
• MCP supply-chain audit — aizee security mcp scans discovered MCP configs (JSONC-tolerant) for plaintext/token-shaped secrets in env and args, unpinned npx/uvx packages, writable command paths, and rug-pull drift vs locked baselines.
• Fact-forcing guardrail — recoverable destructive commands (force-push, hard reset) pass only with explicit {target, rollback} facts; catastrophic ones stay hard-blocked.
• Prompt-defense baseline — every materialized harness rules file carries a fixed anti-injection section (identity lock, secret non-disclosure, untrusted external content, unicode-trick suspicion).

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Requirement	Minimum	Recommended
Python	3.10	3.12
Git	2.30+	Latest
OS	Windows 10 / macOS 12 / Ubuntu 22.04	Latest

Installation

git clone https://github.com/m3taz-ahmed/aizee.git .ai
cd .ai

Windows — GUI wizard (double-click install.bat or run):

.\install.ps1 -Gui

Windows — CLI:

.\install.ps1

macOS / Linux:

bash install.sh

pip (from GitHub):

pip install "git+https://github.com/m3taz-ahmed/aizee.git"
aizee bootstrap --target ~/.aizee --yes   # materialize a minimal OS root
export AIZEE_ROOT=~/.aizee

PyPI publication is planned; until pip install aizee lands, install from the repo directly as above (the pyproject.toml is real — it installs cleanly as an editable or git package).

Installer map — the .bat files are thin launchers, not separate installers:

Entrypoint	Real implementation	Preserves state//brain/
install.ps1 / install.sh	The actual installers (copy + in-place modes)	Yes
install.bat	→ installer/gui_installer.ps1	Yes
update.bat	→ scripts/update.py (git pull + post-install)	Yes
uninstall.bat	→ runtime/uninstaller_gui.py (fallback: aizee uninstall)	n/a
backup.bat / restore.bat	→ scripts/backup_brain.py / restore_brain.py	n/a

Both install and update run the scripts/stale_files.txt retirement list, so files removed from the repo are deleted from existing installs too.

Verify

aizee doctor    # Health check (46 checks)
aizee heal      # Diagnose + safe autofixes (dry-run; --apply to fix)
aizee status    # Current persona, skills, budget
aizee deps install   # Provision external tools declared in deps.yaml

Updating

For an existing install (not a fresh install) — one file does everything:

• Windows: double-click update.bat
• Any OS: python scripts/update.py --yes

What it does: git fetch → stashes any local edits (recover with git stash pop) → git pull --rebase → post-install hooks + aizee deps check advisory. Your learned data (memory/, state/, brain/, .env) is gitignored and always preserved. Preview first with python scripts/update.py --dry-run.

To jump straight to a specific release: git checkout vX.Y.Z then python scripts/update.py --post-install-only.

---

External Tooling & Auto-Provisioning

aiZee features sometimes need software that lives outside this repo — CLI tools, pip packages, media kits, docker images, API keys. All of it is declared in deps.yaml (44 entries) so nothing is a silent missing requirement:

aizee deps check            # Report every dep: ok / missing / wrong version
aizee deps check --tag video # Filter by group (video, devx, agent, media…)
aizee deps install           # Provision everything unsatisfied (per-OS cmds)
aizee deps install --dry-run # Preview commands without running
aizee doctor                 # deps verdict folded into the health report

install.ps1 / install.sh / scripts/update.py already run aizee deps check as a post-install hook and offer to install what's missing — so a fresh clone reaches full capability with one command.

Category	Examples	Needed for
Core (bundled)	Python 3.10+, SQLite, pyyaml, pydantic	Everything — zero extra installs
DevX CLIs	repomix, code2prompt, oxlint, agent-browser	Context packing, repo→prompt, JS lint, agent browsing
Spec/SDD	specify (spec-kit), openspec, spec-kitty, spec-workflow-mcp	Spec-driven development workflows
Automation	n8n, super-productivity, gitbutler	Workflow automation, PM, git branches
Media kits	cinecode, bang-motion, motion-graphics (~/.aizee/media)	Video/motion production (optional)
ComfyUI	~/.aizee/media/apps/ComfyUI + custom nodes	Local image/video generation (optional, GPU)
Docker	Docker Desktop + code2video image	code2video plugin rendering (optional)

Optional by design: media/video deps are severity: optional — core governance, personas, skills, memory, and MCP work fully without them. aizee deps check tells you exactly what each feature is missing and the one command that fixes it.

The Six Pillars

1. Persona + Skill Composition

29 personas (ARCH, QA, SEC, DEV, SRE, DATA, ML, MLOPS, FINOPS, DEVOPS, API, FREELANCE, MARKETING, GROWTH, BRAND, EMAIL, SOCIAL, CRO, SALES, etc.) with lord-level domain skills — auto-detected per task, no manual selection needed.

Two routing layers on top of keyword scoring:

• Lifecycle phase bias — when a BMAD initiative is active, _bmad-output/ artifacts reveal the current phase (PRD → architecture → stories → review) and runtime/lifecycle.py biases selection toward the matching persona (e.g. mid-implementation → DEV, mid-review → QA+ARCH).
• Handoff hints — the result carries next_persona_hint: the strongest persona outside the selected set, so cross-domain tasks ("review the design, then implement") transition cleanly.

aizee persona detect --multi "build a secure docker API with postgres"
# → Primary: ARCH + Secondary: SEC, DEVOPS + Lords: security-lord, cloud-platforms-lord
# + lifecycle_phase / next_persona_hint when a BMAD initiative is active

2. Runtime Governance

Every action passes through the gate pipeline before execution:

Probity → Guardian → Policy → Loop Detector → Budget → Audit
        └─ AgentGateway: injection + secret-leak verdicts (v6)

• Policy engine — allow/ask/deny/modify/observe YAML rules with AST-safe evaluation
• MCP firewall — rule-based outbound tool-call gate (deny destructive, ask unknown)
• AgentGateway — prompt/response guardrails on every enforced path
• Budget manager — token/cost/call limits per session/hour/day/week/month and per PR
• Audit logger — SHA-256 hash-chained, Ed25519-signed, tamper-evident trail
• Workflow runner — durable SQLite-backed execution with saga compensation

3. Live Ground-Truth

Context7 MCP fetches current library docs before implementation. Graphify knowledge graph replaces blind grep for codebase navigation.

4. Hybrid Memory

SQLite + FTS5 full-text + optional vector index (SentenceTransformers). Episodic, semantic, factual, procedural layers — now with pinning, soft-delete, contradiction links, HMAC integrity, and bi-temporal as_of queries.

aizee memory ingest                # Rebuild index after changes
aizee memory search "docker"       # Full-text + vector search
aizee memory compact               # Keep Memory.md under its line budget

5. Quality Gates (Zero Defect)

ruff check .                 # 0 warnings
mypy                         # Strict typing
aizee test --full            # full suite + coverage (fail-under=100)
python eval/harness.py       # E2E eval: ruff + mypy + pytest + validate-globals

6. Token Efficiency

Persona detection is local (pure Python, zero LLM tokens). Code Mode replaces tool-call JSON ping-pong with sandboxed snippets that invoke tools directly — materially fewer orchestration tokens on multi-tool tasks.

---

Runtime Enforcement Map

Path	Gates applied
Kernel.act()	Probity → Guardian → Policy → Loop → Budget → Audit + AgentGateway prompt checks
Outbound MCP (McpClient, McpAgent, aizee mcp call)	mcp_firewall → gateway request → execute → gateway response
Inbound MCP (aizee_mcp tools)	RBAC + gateway request/response wrap
Chat (kernel.chat_message)	prompt_gate → … → output.pre_send hooks
Memory writes	memory.pre_write hooks (veto/mutate) + HMAC integrity
Code Mode (aizee codemode)	AST sandbox scan + restricted builtins + governed call_tool

---

Dashboard

python dashboard/server.py 8080
# → http://127.0.0.1:8080

Dark-first command-center UI: command palette (Ctrl+K), bento-grid metrics, status pills, glass panels. Optional Bearer auth via AIZEE_DASHBOARD_TOKEN.

Tabs: Overview · Memory Explorer · Policy Sandbox · Workflows · Sagas · Chat · Tech Stack · Telemetry · System Health · Audit Logs · Settings

Important — disable MCP servers you don't use. Every enabled MCP server consumes memory and may spawn a subprocess on first tool call. After installation, open Settings → MCP Servers, uncheck what you don't need (Uncheck All then re-check), and Save Changes. The kernel auto-reloads on save.

Settings persist to state/settings.json (gitignored, survives updates). Schema migrations run automatically — old files are backed up.

How aiZee compares

aiZee is not a skills collection or a process framework — it is the policy layer that governs what any of them may do. The categories compose:

	aiZee	BMAD-METHOD	spec-kit	claude-skills
Category	Governance + agent OS	Agile-ai process	Spec-driven toolkit	Skill library
Enforcement	Runtime gates on every action	Process conventions	Spec templates	None (content only)
Skills	245 vendored, hash-locked	~34 bmad-*	Templates	410+
Personas	29 auto-detected + lifecycle-aware	6 named agents	—	—
Memory	Hybrid SQLite + vectors, bi-temporal	persistent_facts files	—	—
MCP	Server (46 tools) + client firewall	—	—	—
Install	pip install aizee	npx skills add	uvx specify	npx skills add
Best for	Governing what agents may do	Running the agile-ai lifecycle	Spec-driven workflows	Plug-and-play skills

They compose, not compete: aiZee can govern BMAD workflows end-to-end (its _bmad/ runtime is detected by runtime/lifecycle.py), ingest skills from any agent-skills repo into its locked library, and enforce policy over spec-kit-driven development.

Ecosystem & Distribution

aiZee ships its own MCP server and agent-facing skill. The surfaces below make it discoverable to agents and humans — some require maintainer accounts:

Surface	What it unlocks	Status
PyPI (aizee)	pip install aizee — the README's install path	⏳ pending publication
Official MCP servers list	Listed in modelcontextprotocol/servers — where Claude/Cursor users discover MCP tools	⏳ PR needed
mcpservers.org / Smithery / Glama	MCP directories with one-click install	⏳ submission needed
awesome-claude-code / awesome-mcp	Curated lists that drive most early stars	⏳ PR needed
GitHub social preview	The image shown when the repo is shared on X/LinkedIn/Discord	⏳ needs a banner image (1280×640)
Demo GIF	The money shot: agent blocked mid-commit	⏳ record with ScreenToGif/asciinema+agg
Show HN · r/ClaudeAI · r/cursor	Launch traffic	⏳ after the above land
Dev.to / Hashnode post	Searchable launch write-up	⏳ optional

Everything else (topics, description, release, llms.txt, root SKILL.md, aizee skill link into agent harnesses) is already shipped.
