spero 0.1.0

Self-healing supervision agent for Linux hosts and Kubernetes.

Spero

Self-healing supervision agent for Linux hosts and Kubernetes.

Spero watches the things you run — processes, services, disks, workloads — notices when they break, and heals them under policy-governed autonomy. It sits between a single-host tool like Monit and a full Prometheus + Alertmanager + Ansible stack: lightweight, agent-based, cluster-aware, with an AI layer for prediction, root-cause, and policy-gated remediation.

Shipped under Altikva.

Status: pre-alpha, but the spine is complete. Spero supervises and heals Linux hosts (local + asyncssh) and Kubernetes (kubectl) through one engine, with an AI layer for prediction, root-cause, natural-language queries, and agentic (policy-gated) remediation. 91 tests, ruff + mypy clean.

Concepts

Spero is built on four seams so it spans hosts today and Kubernetes next without re-architecting:

Seam	Question	Examples
Provider	where things run	local, SSH host, Kubernetes
Probe	how you know it is healthy	process, systemd, port, disk, pod-ready
Remediation	what to do about it	restart, respawn, rotate, rollout, scale
Policy	the declared intent	YAML: target → probe → remediations + autonomy

Remediations carry an autonomy level — suggest, gated, or auto — so low-risk healing happens on its own while high-risk actions wait for a human.

Install

pip install spero            # or: uv pip install spero
pip install "spero[ai]"      # add the Claude-backed AI layer
pip install "spero[k8s]"     # add the Kubernetes provider deps

Quickstart

spero status                       # show targets from policies/example.yaml
spero run                          # run one supervision cycle
spero watch                        # supervise continuously (each target on its interval)
spero watch --ai-approve           # agentic: the model decides gated remediations
spero heal nginx                   # probe one target, walk its remediations interactively
spero ask "what flapped today?"    # natural-language query over the event history
spero serve                        # run the control-plane API on :8800
