axi-platform 0.10.8

Generic LLM/RAG platform framework

Axiom

A domain-agnostic platform framework for building federated, AI-powered operational systems.

Axiom provides the intelligence infrastructure — LLM routing, RAG, federation, agents, CLI — that domain products build on top of. NeutronOS is the first domain consumer (nuclear facilities).

Install

pip install axi-platform

Core Capabilities

Capability	Description
LLM Gateway	Multi-provider routing with tier classification, VPN check, circuit breakers, audit logging
RAG	Three-tier corpus (community / organization / personal), pgvector embeddings, hybrid vector+full-text search
Federation	Ed25519 node identity, peer discovery, trust establishment, .axiompack portable knowledge bundles, A2A agent cards
Agents	EVE (signal ingestion), M-O (resource steward), PR-T (document publisher), BURN-E (release management), DFIB (diagnostics), Neut (chat assistant)
CLI	28+ nouns, 150+ commands via extension discovery. Noun-verb pattern: axi <noun> <verb>
Interactive Chat	Multi-turn tool calling, RAG grounding, streaming, approval gates, session persistence
Knowledge Observatory	Velocity, accumulation, and impact metrics across knowledge bases
Call to Research	5-level distributed research coordination protocol
SECUR-T	Security guardian — content verification, anomaly detection, trust scoring
Canary Nodes	Federated release promotion — edge/stable channels, signed attestations, quorum-based promotion
Document Publishing	Markdown to DOCX lifecycle with provider-based generation, storage, review gates
Signal Pipeline	Ingest from voice memos, Teams, GitLab; extract structured insights; publish briefings

Quick Start

pip install axi-platform

# Check platform health
axi status

# Start an interactive chat session
axi chat

# Index documents for RAG
axi rag index ./docs/

# Search the knowledge base
axi rag search "how does the cooling system work?"

# Initialize federation identity
axi federation init

# Run diagnostics
axi doctor

Architecture

Axiom is designed as a platform framework — it provides generic infrastructure that domain products extend with domain-specific knowledge, agents, and tools.

Domain Products (e.g., NeutronOS)
    |
    | extends via extensions + domain packs
    |
Axiom Platform
    |
    +-- CLI Framework (axi)           28+ nouns via extension discovery
    +-- LLM Gateway                   Multi-provider routing + audit
    +-- RAG Engine                    pgvector, 3-tier corpus
    +-- Agent Framework               6 builtin agents
    +-- Federation Protocol            Node identity, trust, .axiompack
    +-- State Management              PostgreSQL + JSON fallback
    +-- Prompt Registry               Versioned, cacheable templates
    +-- Extension System              3-tier discovery (builtin, installed, user)
    |
PostgreSQL (pgvector)               Single database for RAG + sessions + state

Deployment Progression

Tier	Role	Infrastructure
Local	Development, personal RAG	Laptop, SQLite fallback
Private server	Shared LLM (GPU), team RAG	VPN, K3D, PostgreSQL
HPC cluster	Export-controlled workloads	Institutional VPN

Nodes at any tier join the federation independently. See execution-plan-2026.md for the full roadmap.

Development

# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/benjaminbooth/axiom.git
cd axiom
pip install -e ".[all]"

# Run tests (2,270+)
pytest

# Lint
ruff check src/ tests/
ruff format src/ tests/

# Build
python -m build

Extension System

Axiom discovers CLI commands, tools, and agents from extensions via axiom-extension.toml manifests:

[extension]
name = "my-extension"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "What it does"

[[cli.commands]]
noun = "myext"
module = "my_extension.cli"
description = "My custom commands"

Discovery tiers:

1. Builtin (src/axiom/extensions/builtins/)
2. Installed PyPI packages with axiom-extension.toml
3. User extensions (~/.axi/extensions/)

Domain Products

Axiom is domain-agnostic. Domain products add domain-specific knowledge, agents, and tools:

Product	Package	Domain
NeutronOS	neutron-os	Nuclear facilities
(your product)	—	Any domain

Documentation

Document	Description
Execution Plan 2026	Roadmap: what gets built, in what order
CLI Spec	Full command reference
Federation Spec	Multi-node protocol
RAG Architecture	Knowledge retrieval design
Agent Architecture	Agent capabilities
Session Store	PostgreSQL session backend
Canary Nodes	Release promotion protocol
