Voss is an AI-native coding harness and workflow-control language for controlled agentic software development. The harness is the first product surface. It helps you plan, execute, inspect, and resume AI-assisted code work in real repositories. The .voss language is the durable control layer for workflows that need explicit confidence gates, context budgets, semantic routing, tools, memory, agents, and fallbacks.

Run your first task

Use voss do for a bounded one-shot repo task.

Make a scoped edit

Use voss edit to constrain writes to a target and related tests.

Understand modes

Learn the difference between plan, edit, and auto.

What Voss is for

Voss is for developers who already use AI coding tools and want stronger boundaries:
  • Clear separation between planning and mutation
  • Permission prompts for risky operations
  • Scoped file writes for edit sessions
  • Resumable project context
  • Workflow rules that can move from prompts into .voss code
Voss v0.1 is harness-led and ships through npm as @vosslang/cli. Rust, Homebrew, editor marketplace work, hosted teams, and broad launch polish remain deferred.
