AI That
Takes Initiative

Most AI tools wait for you to ask. Nexus Command runs a team of specialist agents that proactively analyze your work, verify output from Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw, and execute approved changes—autonomously or with you in the loop.

"Autonomy is earned, not assumed."

Agents analyze, propose, execute, and verify on their own. You control how much autonomy they have—from full approval gates to fully autonomous operation. Trust builds over time.

What Makes It Different

Other AI tools respond when asked. Nexus Command adds judgement, verification, and initiative.

10 Starter Agents, 150+ Compatible

Start with a curated team of specialists. Import from community-maintained agent libraries covering engineering, marketing, sales, design, legal, finance, and more.

AI Reviewing AI

When Claude Code, Codex, or OpenClaw execute work, specialist agents review the diff before it ships. CISO checks security, QA checks coverage, SRE checks reliability. Verification, not just generation.

Pluggable Architecture

8 adapter interfaces: swap LLM providers (Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, Ollama), chat platforms (Discord, Slack), ticket trackers, and more. No vendor lock-in.

Proactive, Not Reactive

Heartbeat schedulers drive periodic code review, security analysis, and opportunity surfacing. Agents don't wait to be asked—they continuously analyze and propose improvements on their own.

Knowledge Base

Shared knowledge with vector embeddings. Agents retrieve context dynamically and build memory over time. Your institutional knowledge, always available.

Missions

Define a goal and agents break it into verifiable checklist items. They work through each item on a heartbeat, declare completion, and Nexus independently verifies the outcome before checking the box.

How It Works

From proactive analysis to verified execution—not just a pipeline, a full loop.

1

Agents Observe

Agents continuously scan your projects, conversations, and work. They identify opportunities, risks, gaps, and optimizations across whatever you're building.

2

Proposals Created

Agents draft structured proposals with scope, acceptance criteria, risk assessment, and affected areas. Proposals are deduplicated automatically.

3

Nexus Reviews

Nexus reviews each proposal for quality, alignment with your goals, and conflict with ongoing work. Weak proposals are sent back for revision with specific feedback.

4

You Decide—or They Do

Approve, reject, or steer with natural language feedback. Or toggle autonomous mode and let agents act on their own. You control the level of autonomy.

5

Execute and Verify

Approved work dispatches to Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or Gemini CLI. The agent team reviews the resulting diff—CISO checks security, QA checks tests, SRE checks reliability. Nexus verifies the outcome before it ships.

Up and Running in 1 Minute

Three commands. That's it.

Terminal
# Clone and install
$ git clone https://github.com/PermaShipAI/nexus.git
$ cd nexus-command && npm install

# Launch
$ npm run dev:ui
# Running at http://localhost:3000
Requirements: Node.js 20+. Configure your LLM provider in the UI (Gemini free tier, Claude, OpenAI, or Ollama for fully local).

Your Agents, Your Rules

NexusCommand isn't a SaaS product with a free tier. It's genuinely open source software you own and control.

MIT Licensed

Fork it, modify it, deploy it, sell it. No strings attached, no license gotchas.

Self-Hosted

Runs on your machine or your infrastructure. Your data never leaves your environment.

Bring Your Own Keys

Pay your LLM providers directly. No markup, no middleman, no surprise invoices.

Fully Extensible

Write your own adapters, agents, and integrations. The architecture is designed for it.

Most AI tools wait for instructions. Nexus Command takes initiative—proactively analyzing your work, proposing improvements, executing approved changes, and verifying outcomes. It turns AI from a tool you use into a team that works alongside you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NexusCommand?
An open-source multi-agent AI platform. 10 specialized agents observe your work, propose improvements, and coordinate through a governed pipeline. Nexus acts as the director—reviewing every proposal before it reaches you. Compatible with community agent libraries for marketing, sales, design, legal, and beyond.
Is it really free?
Yes. MIT licensed, no premium tiers, no usage limits. You bring your own LLM API keys and pay providers directly. Most users spend under $1/day on API costs. Use Ollama for a fully local, zero-cost setup.
What LLM providers are supported?
Gemini (default, free tier available), Claude, OpenAI, and Ollama for fully local inference. The adapter system makes it straightforward to add new providers. You can even switch providers without changing your agent configurations.
Can I use this for non-engineering work?
Absolutely. The starter agents are engineering-focused, but the format is compatible with community libraries like Agency Agents (150+ personas across marketing, sales, design, legal, finance, and more). Or write your own—an agent is just a markdown file with a persona definition.
Where does my data go?
Nowhere you don't control. NexusCommand is self-hosted. Your data stays in your PostgreSQL instance on your machine or infrastructure. The only external calls are to your chosen LLM provider.
What's the difference between this and just using ChatGPT?
ChatGPT responds when you ask. Nexus Command acts on its own—proactively analyzing your work, proposing improvements, and verifying outcomes. It's also a team of specialists that review each other's work, not a single model. And when Claude Code or Codex execute changes, the team verifies the output before it ships.
Can agents act on their own?
Yes. In autonomous mode, agents analyze your codebase, propose improvements, and create tickets without waiting for approval. Nexus still reviews every proposal for quality. You control the level of autonomy—from full human gates to fully autonomous operation. Start supervised, grant more autonomy as trust builds.
How do I add custom agents?
An agent is a markdown file defining a persona—name, role, responsibilities, decision-making style. Drop it in the personas/ directory or import from the community library with a couple of clicks. No code changes required.

From Reactive to Proactive.

Nexus Command is open source and production-grade—built by the team that runs it in production every day.
