Q00/ouroboros#integrations/dsh-plugin

Agent OS: the agent gets smarter on its own. We just hold the line: the grading command and expected result never make it into the success contract we hand it. Interview-gated, staged evaluation, budgeted evolution loop. MCP server, 13 runtimes: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Copilot, Kiro and more.

What it does

Config-only bundle that mounts Ouroboros through the DSH MCP client, exposing 36 interview, Seed, execution, evaluation, and evolution workflow tools in DSH.

Best for

  • DSH users who want Ouroboros's 36 tools available through the MCP client without adding custom runtime code to the bundle.
  • Teams running structured requirement interviews, Seed creation, execution, evaluation, and iterative evolution workflows.
  • Users who need replayable, staged agent workflows rather than a single unstructured coding prompt.

Not ideal for

  • Simple one-off tasks that do not benefit from interviews, staged evaluation, or an evolution loop.
  • Users who do not want to expose or operate the Ouroboros MCP workflow inside DSH.
  • Workflows seeking a standalone UI feature; this bundle only mounts Ouroboros tools through the DSH MCP client.

Turn a vague idea into a verified, working codebase – across Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Hermes, Gemini, Kiro, Copilot, Pi, Zcode, Goose, GJC, Antigravity, and Grok.

Ouroboros is an Agent OS for AI coding: a local-first runtime layer that turns non-deterministic agent work into a replayable, observable, policy-bound execution contract. It replaces ad-hoc prompting with a structured specification-first workflow: interview, crystallize, execute, evaluate, evolve.


The Ouroboros Agent OS Stack

Like any OS, Ouroboros is split into a stable OS layer of primitives, an application layer of domain workflows, and a shell that humans actually sit in front of. Three repos, one stack:

Layer Repo Role What it gives you
Shell (terminal client) Ouro-labs/ourocode Native terminal UI for running ooo workflows across Claude / Codex / Gemini CLIs in one session TUI, wonderTool decision pickers, MCP pane state, command discovery
Apps (domain workflows) Ouro-labs/ouroboros-plugins UserLevel plugin contract — composes core primitives into installable domain programs (PR ops, Jira sync, incidents, releases) Plugin manifest, scoped permissions, audit/provenance, reference plugins
OS (this repo) Q00/ouroboros Agent OS core — Seed, Ledger, Runtime, MCP, safety boundaries ooo commands, spec-first workflow engine, multi-runtime adapter

How they connect:

  ourocode  ──►  ooo / ouroboros-plugins  ──►  ouroboros core (Seed · Ledger · MCP · Runtime)
   shell             user-level apps                        kernel
  • The kernel (ouroboros) owns the contract: every action becomes a Seed-bound, ledger-recorded, replayable event — regardless of which LLM executes it.
  • Plugins (ouroboros-plugins) declare scoped capabilities against that contract, so domain workflows (review a PR, triage a Linear ticket, run a release) stay auditable and policy-bound instead of being one-off prompts.
  • Ourocode is the terminal shell: it surfaces MCP state, interview questions, and wonderTool decisions as first-class TUI elements, so you can drive the OS without leaving the keyboard or switching between CLIs.

Use ouroboros alone with any supported CLI, layer plugins on for domain workflows, or install ourocode when you want a unified terminal cockpit.

Disclaimer.

Naming note. A separate, unaffiliated open-source project also uses the name “Ouroboros” — Anton Razzhigaev’s self-modifying, autonomous-memory agent at github.com/razzant/ouroboros. No shared code, no relationship. This project locks a specification before executing rather than rewriting its own architecture; if you’re looking for the latter, that’s the other one.


Why Ouroboros?

Most AI coding fails at the input, not the output. The bottleneck is not AI capability – it is human clarity.

Problem What Happens Ouroboros Fix
Vague prompts AI guesses, you rework Socratic interview exposes hidden assumptions
No spec Architecture drifts mid-build Immutable seed spec locks intent before code
Manual QA “Looks good” is not verification 3-stage automated evaluation gate

Quick Start

Install — one command, everything auto-detected:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Q00/ouroboros/main/scripts/install.sh | OUROBOROS_INSTALL_REF=readme bash

First command — open your AI coding agent and run these in order:

> ooo setup
> ooo interview "I want to build a task management CLI"

ooo setup is a one-time configuration step. ooo interview is the first workflow command and starts the Socratic interview. After setup, Codex follows its currently selected model and Claude Code starts with its recommended model settings. Choose Directly configure models only when you want to pin a stage to a specific model; it opens the local settings screen in your browser. You can return to those settings any time with ooo config.

Or from a plain terminal, without an agent host:

$ ouroboros init start --orchestrator "I want to build a task management CLI tool"

Terminal recording of ouroboros setup refresh installing Codex rules and skills, Hermes skills, the OpenCode plugin and instruction guide, and the Pi and GJC bridges, ending with the line Refreshed runtime artifacts: codex, hermes, opencode, pi, gjc

Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenCode, Hermes, Gemini, Kiro CLI, Pi CLI, Zcode, Goose, GJC, Antigravity CLI, and Grok Build CLI. The installer detects available runtimes and registers the MCP server where the host supports it. For explicit selection, run ouroboros setup --runtime <opencode|kiro|copilot|gemini|pi|zcode|goose|gjc|antigravity|grok> after installation. Copilot live-discovers its subscription catalog via the GitHub Copilot models API; Kiro’s settings picker queries the authenticated CLI with kiro-cli chat --listmodels -f json, so account and enterprise allow-list changes appear without a hardcoded model table.

DeepSeek support. Ouroboros speaks DeepSeek two ways. Point the interview/Seed/QA pipeline at DeepSeek’s own models with --llm-backend dsh (ouroboros mcp serve --runtime claude-cli --llm-backend dsh, or OUROBOROS_LLM_BACKEND=dsh) — this drives DeepSeek Harness’s ACP server under the hood. Or go the other way: install the dsh-ouroboros plugin (dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add "github:Q00/ouroboros#main&path:integrations/dsh-plugin") and type ooo interview / ooo auto directly in the DeepSeek Harness chat — the same ouroboros_interview / ouroboros_auto tools run natively inside it, Socratic questions and all. Both directions, including what the dsh backend needs beyond the one variable, are in the DeepSeek Harness guide.
