Hearst Nexus

Ship software by stating a goal

Hearst Nexus is a control tower for multi-agent software delivery. Describe what you want, review the plan Nexus drafts, confirm — then let autonomous agents build it across every repo and workspace you run.

# state a goal

you › build a Next.js landing with a pricing page

# nexus drafts a plan → you confirm

nexus › plan ready — 4 phases, sequential, manual.

you › go

# claude takes over on GPU1

✳ claude › building now…

Goal → draft → confirm → execute

Everything you need to run agents safely

Nexus is not a dashboard of buttons. It interprets a natural-language goal, drafts a loop, waits for your confirmation, then dispatches autonomous build agents — with the safety rails baked in.

Autonomous build agents

State a goal in plain language. Nexus dispatches a headless Claude Code agent that scaffolds, edits and validates the project end-to-end — across any repo you connect.

Human-in-the-loop control

Nothing ships without you. Every loop is drafted, shown as a written plan, and waits for an explicit confirmation before a single agent is dispatched.

Scheduled loops & series

Compose a phased development series, arm it, and let the GPU1 daemon run it on a green gate — sequential, manual, and never merging on red.

Safe by construction

You stay in control. Always.

Every guardrail is enforced in code, not by convention. No agent merges to main, no dispatch without an explicit affirmative, and nine STOP conditions that halt a run cold.

Step 1
Draft the loop
Step 2
Confirm the plan
Step 3
Dispatch the agent
Push to branch, never to main.
Runner writes land on a nexus/, fix/ or chore/ branch, fail-closed before dispatch. Main stays yours.
Secrets stay server-side.
Tokens are encrypted, never echoed. Every surfaced string passes redaction; GitHub errors are sanitised.
Draft → confirm → execute.
A bare intent only ever returns a plan. Dispatch happens on an affirmative, never on autopilot.
Fail-closed guardrails.
Nine STOP conditions halt a run with no retry and no clever workaround. Safety is not optional.
One decision layer, no LLM.
The core that decides is pure and deterministic. The only model lives in the dispatched runner.
Self-hosted runner.
Builds run on your own GPU1 box under a Claude subscription — your infrastructure, your control.

Built for control

Guardrails, not guesswork

The numbers that matter here are the ones you can rely on: nothing reaches production without your sign-off, and the decision layer never calls a model.

Repos & workspaces orchestrated
Unlimited
Merges to main without your sign-off
Zero

9
LLM calls in the decision layer
None

State your first goal. Nexus does the rest.

Open the Builder, describe a project, and watch a plan take shape. Nothing runs until you say go.
