nxfflow
the board
Issues, epics and the dependencies between them. ready, blocked and next are derived from the graph on every query — never stored, so the work list cannot go stale.
Issue tracker for coding agents — with the memory and the channel
Set the direction.Assign the ticket.Keep what they learn.
Your agents keep forgetting where the project is going — and which rules it runs by. With nexus-flow, every new session starts knowing what's queued, what the rules are, and what's already been figured out.
Offline-first — fast locally, convergent when connected.
$ curl -fsSL https://nxsflow.com/nxs/install.sh | shSet the direction.
You plan. Your agents file it.
You plan the direction with your agents: it lands on the board as epics and tickets, and it stays there — across sessions and branch switches.

You assign. Your agents build.
One message sets them to work through it in order, without you watching.

Something goes wrong, you say why once, and the rule outlives the session that earned it.

One binary, three tools
What is inside the suite
One binary carries all three. Install it once; each workspace then activates only the products it actually needs.
nxmmemory
the memory
Durable project facts under stable keys — a fact is evolved in place instead of duplicated, and replayed into every session that needs it.
nxcchat
the channel
Messages between you and your agents, on the record in the same change-log: a message hands the work on, and the answer comes back to whoever asked — no scraping each other's output.
Why it's built this way
An engine agents can trust
01
Offline-first by default
Everything lives in a local database, so reads and writes are instant and keep working when the network is gone.
02
Convergent CRDT sync
Each change is appended to a change-log, never overwritten. When devices reconnect, every one folds to the same result: edits to different fields both survive, and two edits to the same field go to the same winner everywhere.
03
Derived, never stored
ready, blocked, and next are computed deterministically from the dependency graph — so the work list is always consistent, never a stale cache.
04
Plugin-declared vocabulary
Item types, ranking, and presentation live in plugins — an issue tracker and a personal to-do ship in the box; you can declare your own.
05
--json everywhere
A deterministic, byte-stable machine surface on every command — the contract agents build on, and the measuring stick for the whole CLI.
06
One binary, one substrate
flow, memory, and chat share one local database, one sync, and one change-log — so an agent's plan, its memory, and its messages converge as one truth.
What we build on it
We build on it ourselves.
nexus-flow is what NexusFlow UG builds its own products on. Both stand on the same engine: the same board, the same memory, the same channel. Even the engine is built on its own boards.

From 'someday' to done.Documentation
Guides for the whole suite — getting started, core concepts, the command reference, plugins. The same documentation the CLI serves, so the two never drift apart.
