Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 6, Utility: 6)

Nomos is a Go-based governance harness that sits between AI coding agents and a repository, enforcing hermetic worktree sandboxes, polyglot AST quality gates, and atomic two-phase-commit releases. It targets the genuine problem of agents reward-hacking tests or leaving stubs, using a 42-gate Definition-of-Done engine and structured remediation directives. The approach is an innovative combination of agent governance, static analysis, and reproducible release mechanics.

Target audience: backend devs and devops engineers integrating AI coding agents into production repositories
