What is RealizeOS?

🆕 What's New in v5.5.0

v5.5.0 marks the open-source relaunch under BSL 1.1 — free core; monetize via guided installation sessions + vertical consulting. The positioning thesis:

You own the Heart (FABRIC knowledge graph + event log + identity) forever; agent runtimes, models, channels, and even the dashboard are swappable adapters; local-first.

✨ Key Features

🧠 FABRIC Knowledge System

Every venture's AI knowledge is organized into six layers:

Layer	Purpose
Foundations	Venture identity, voice, core standards
Agents	AI team definitions and routing guide
Brain	Domain knowledge, market data, expertise
Routines	Skills, workflows, state maps, SOPs
Insights	Memory: learning log, feedback, decisions
Creations	Output: deliverables, drafts, final assets

🤖 Multi-LLM Routing

The engine classifies every task and selects the optimal model:

Task Type	Model	Examples
Simple	Gemini Flash	Status checks, formatting, lookups
Content	Claude Sonnet	Writing, analysis, summarization
Complex	Claude Opus	Strategy, multi-step reasoning

Providers auto-discovered at startup. Supports Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, and Ollama (local).

🔧 Agent System

• Composable agents with scope, inputs, outputs, guardrails, and tools
• Pipelines — sequential execution with Dev-QA retry loops
• 7 handoff types — standard, QA-pass/fail, escalation, phase-gate, sprint, incident
• Hot-reload — filesystem-watched agent registry
• Per-agent SOUL — persistent identity: role, personality, expertise, communication style
• Tool gating — per-agent allowlists/denylists

🧩 Extension System

Type	Purpose	Example
tool	New capabilities	Stripe, Twilio, custom APIs
channel	Communication	Slack, Discord, WhatsApp
integration	Backend sync	CRM, analytics
hook	Event reactions	Notifications, logging

🛠️ Tool Ecosystem

Category	Capabilities
Google Workspace	Gmail (8 tools), Calendar (4), Drive (9), Sheets (3)
Financial	Stripe charges, subscriptions, invoices
Web	Search (Brave API), page scraping, headless browser
MCP	Connect to any MCP-compatible tool server
Messaging	Agent-to-agent bus, human notifications, channels
Governance	Human-in-the-loop approval workflows

🔌 MCP Server

RealizeOS ships a built-in MCP server so any MCP-speaking agent can use it as a second brain:

• 24 tools across 4 families: Chat & Status, KB Read, Ops, Admin
• HTTP+SSE transport — works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, n8n, cloud routines
• Same auth — Bearer JWT or API key, same roles and audit logs
• Gated access — KB, ops, and admin tools independently toggleable

realize-os mcp serve --port 8080        # Start API + MCP together
realize-os mcp token --user owner       # Issue a bearer token

📖 Full details: docs/mcp-server.md

---

💻 Operator CLI

The realize-os CLI is a first-class operator interface:

realize-os serve                                # Start API + dashboard
realize-os chat "What's the pipeline status?"   # Quick query
realize-os repl --system realization-il          # Interactive REPL
realize-os kb search "investment thesis"         # Search knowledge base
realize-os config profile add prod --endpoint https://my-vps:8080

Both realize-os (pip-installed) and python cli.py (source checkout) work identically.

📖 Full command reference: docs/cli-reference.md

🛡️ Security & Governance

• 5-layer security middleware: Security headers → Audit → Rate limiting → Injection guard → JWT auth
• RBAC with 6 roles: owner, admin, operator, user, viewer, guest
• Prompt injection scanner — pattern + heuristic + Unicode normalization
• Human-in-the-loop approval gates for consequential actions
• Audit logging — JSONL persistent logs with SSE streaming
• Secret redaction in error responses and logs
