README

NERVous System

A durable multi-agent orchestration and coding-agent coordination framework for pi. NERVous System helps coding agents plan, delegate, coordinate, execute, recover from interruptions, and review work continuously.

Invoke /nervous, give it a task description, and walk away.

Find it in the pi package directory by searching for multi-agent orchestration, coding-agent coordination, subagent delegation, durable task planning, workflow recovery, or risk triage.

Quick start

pi install npm:nervous-system

Then start a durable workflow:

/nervous implement this feature with durable planning and worker delegation

NERVous installs the complete suite: CORTEX, MAGI, AXON, SYNAPSE, LION, CEREBEL, GANGLION, AMYGDALA, and the dashboard. Its model tools are inactive in a fresh session chain. An exact /nervous [task] command activates the operator-permitted component set after any current run becomes idle, then keeps the coordinated workflow available for later turns on that branch. Keep the package installed but turn its runtime resources off or back on with /nervous:config enabled=false or /nervous:config enabled=true. Use /nervous:state to see exactly what the current work context retains and /nervous:reset to archive that whole context before unrelated work.

Highlights

One-time task framing turns abstract requests into concrete goals before deliberation
Durable goals and task state that survive compaction, restarts, and interruptions
Pi-native transport retries with an explicit settled-interruption resume valve
Deliberation, risk triage, and explicit verification for difficult work
Parallel coding subagents with orchestration, capacity allocation, and live progress
Project- and context-isolated state with explicit retention diagnostics, safe reset archives, and a fault-isolated dashboard
