Rust Crate Ecosystem for Project Governance
v0.1.0 | 52+ Crates | 74+ Tests | 100% RustLibraries for Self-Aware Projects
9 Rust crates, 6 Nushell modules, Nickel schemas — integrate ontology-driven governance, living ADRs, sealed configuration, AI agent orchestration, knowledge management, and post-quantum secrets into your projects. One protocol for humans, agents, and CI. 100% Rust. Zero compromises.
The 8 Problems It Solves
Scattered Knowledge
Decisions in Slack, guidelines in wikis, patterns in docs — all disconnected. Kogral unifies with git-native markdown + MCP.
Uncontrolled LLM Costs
No visibility on AI spending per team. No budget limits or controls. Vapora provides real-time budgets, automatic fallback to cheaper providers, and expertise-based agent routing.
Fragile YAML Configuration
Runtime errors from untyped config. No validation before deployment. Provisioning uses Nickel with pre-runtime validation. TypeDialog provides forms with contract validation.
Static Cryptography
No preparation for quantum threats. Locked into single crypto library. SecretumVault delivers production post-quantum crypto with ML-KEM-768, ML-DSA-65 and 4 pluggable backends.
Chaotic Project Workflows
Scattered TODOs, no structured phases. No audit trail for task state changes. Syntaxis provides systematic project orchestration with 4 interfaces and VAPORA-ready AI agent coordination.
Decisions Without Memory
Architectural decisions made verbally or in chat. Constraints forgotten after team changes. Ontology + ADRs provide machine-queryable invariants with hard constraints enforced at every operation.
Invisible Configuration Drift
Configs modified outside any review cycle. No audit trail linking change to PR or ADR. Reflection provides sha256-sealed config profiles with drift detection, verified rollback, and full history.
Dead Documentation
Docs written once, never updated. Different actors generate different formats with no shared source. Kogral + Ontology generates living docs from the same graph — human docs, agent context, CI reports.
Ontology, Reflection & ADRs
Yin — The Formal Layer
What must be true
Nickel schemas — structural correctness at definition time ADR constraints — "this can never be violated" Config seals — sealed states, sha256-verifiable Ontology invariants — what cannot change without a new ADR Mathematical hashes — proof of what was sealed and when
Yang — The Operational Layer
How things move and change
Nu commands — structured data transformation Actors (human/agent/CI) — same protocol, different capabilities Register flow — captures changes, routes to correct artifact Mode definitions — operation sequences with verification Pre-commit hooks — forced synchronisation at commit time
Yang without Yin = fluid but chaotic. Anything can change. Nothing is verifiable.
Yin without Yang = correct but useless. Perfect schemas without operations = dead documentation.
The system lives in coexistence.
