Novahiz
novahiz · Agent
Novahiz is a governance layer for AI coding agents. It scores every prompt against 17 categories, picks an execution roadmap and injects its checklist into the session, then checks each edit, write or shell call against 13 gate rules and the skills the roadmap expects. Decisions, root causes and next steps persist from one session to the next. It has 94 skills and 8 MCP providers, and suits people who want their agent to follow a set order of work.
Written by ooruby from the README of novahiz 0.8.2.

Why it's useful
Your coding agent has to load the right skills and follow a set order of work before it can edit files, instead of improvising.
What you could do with it
- Classify a prompt to see its categories, tier and the skills the gate will expect before an edit.
- Start a tracked task and follow its todo list and progress until each step has proof it was verified.
- Save versioned snapshots of the task ledger and compare or restore them later.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
- Command execution is bounded
- inventory
- node child_process (src/cli.ts:4)
- synchronous shell execution (src/cli.ts:40)
- synchronous shell execution (src/cli.ts:104)
- node child_process (src/deps.ts:1)
- An inventory of where the code starts another program, not a verdict on this row: whether each one runs a fixed program or whatever it is handed takes a reading by hand.
Published because it was found. A finding is information about where the limits are, not a verdict that the software is unsafe.
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.
Corrected after a reading by hand on 2026-10-10
- No shipped credentials: the automated note “The scan matched 2 credential-shaped strings in the published files. Location withheld pending disclosure to the maker.” was withdrawn. A fixture file of deliberately hard-coded secrets for its scanner to find, spelled from test, xxxx and 1234.
Receipt history: every signed receipt for every version of this listing, and what changed between them.
In its maker's words
Enforce AI agent skills before every file edit: prompt classifier, skill catalog, and pre-edit gate.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.8.2, the file with digest sha512-5kh+0WiiXcUEmNysjyDsWP99gJA0R5QUdOoD13Z2ocQBjmFZncDGmpbdRFioWd/mzYgDlFkE9TnTw5lzM3rGfg==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it
Run it with:
npx -y -p novahiz@0.8.2 novahizPinned to 0.8.2, which is the version the findings above were found in. Drop the version to take whatever is newest, and the report on this page stops describing what you installed.
