Quality is wired in
The PIV engine leads every story through plan, implement, verify, security and commit. It checks the definition of ready, sets the gates and blocks the commit via a Git hook until security is green. The agent cannot wave itself through.

Security always checks
The security agent checks every story before the commit closes. Always, with zero extra effort. If you want to go one step further, you add a second CLI as an independent review partner: two machines, four eyes, right in the development flow.

No context loss
A local memory database holds projects, sessions, plans and decisions. Searchable by keyword and by meaning. You switch tools without explaining the project again. State lives in the database, not in a chat history.

No lock-in
You bring your own subscriptions. Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Vibe, Cline, OpenCode and Grok run as equal coding CLIs, including automatic MCP wiring on project import. Plus every coding AI on the market, local models too. And you pick per role: build, verify, chat.

Data stays in the house
Fully local development is possible. Local models via Ollama, voice control that never leaves the machine, no account and no tracking. makerOS contains no AI model of its own. Your policy decides which models run.

Reality before investment
The reality check simulates market reactions in a 17-step pipeline: competition, 24 personas, pricing and a verdict with confidence, before weeks are invested. Planning additionally weaves in 175 curated knowledge files, from sources like OWASP, NN/g and GOV.UK.
