How it works: You provide a PRD. Loki Mode classifies complexity, assembles an agent team from 41 specialized types across 8 swarms, and runs autonomous RARV cycles (Reason - Act - Reflect - Verify) with 9 quality gates. Code is not "done" until it passes automated verification. Output is a Git repo with source, tests, configs, and audit logs.

• Truly autonomous -- Describe what you want, walk away, come back to working code with tests
• Production quality built in -- 9 quality gates, blind 3-reviewer code review, anti-sycophancy checks
• Self-hosted and private -- Your keys, your infrastructure, no data leaves your network
• 5 AI providers -- Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cline, Aider with automatic failover
• Full-stack output -- Source code, tests, Docker configs, CI/CD pipelines, audit logs
• Open source -- Free for personal, internal, and academic use. No vendor lock-in.

npm install -g loki-mode loki doctor # verify environment loki init my-app --template simple-todo-app cd my-app loki start prd.md # autonomous build starts

Or skip scaffolding and go straight to a quick task:

The hosted development platform. A Replit-like web UI for visual PRD-to-code workflow with AI chat for iterative development.

Loki Mode is the only platform that is fully self-hosted, open source, and includes automated quality verification. Your code, your keys, your infrastructure.

Claude gets full features (subagents, parallelization, MCP, Task tool). Other providers run sequentially. Auto-failover switches providers when rate-limited. See Provider Guide.

Run loki --help for all options. Full reference: CLI Reference | Config: config.example.yaml

loki start --bmad-project ./my-project

export LOKI_TLS_ENABLED=true export LOKI_OIDC_PROVIDER=google export LOKI_AUDIT_ENABLED=true loki enterprise status

What "autonomous" means: The system runs RARV cycles without prompting. It does NOT access your cloud accounts, payment systems, or external services unless you provide credentials. Human oversight is expected for deployment, API keys, and critical decisions.
