Mosaic Stack

Self-hosted, multi-user AI agent platform. One config, every runtime, same standards.

Mosaic gives you a unified launcher for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Pi — injecting consistent system prompts, guardrails, skills, and mission context into every session. A NestJS gateway provides the API surface, a Next.js dashboard gives you the UI, and a plugin system connects Discord, Telegram, and more.

Quick Install

curl -fsSL https://mosaicstack.dev/install.sh | bash

Or use the direct URL:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/stack/raw/branch/main/tools/install.sh)

The installer auto-launches the setup wizard, which walks you through gateway install and verification. Flags for non-interactive use:

bash <(curl -fsSL …) --yes               # Accept all defaults
bash <(curl -fsSL …) --yes --no-auto-launch  # Install only, skip wizard

This installs both components:

Component	What	Where
Framework	Bash launcher, guides, runtime configs, tools, skills	~/.config/mosaic/
@mosaicstack/mosaic	Unified mosaic CLI — TUI, gateway client, wizard, auto-updater	~/.npm-global/bin/

Install lanes

Lane	Command	Use when	Source
Stable	bash tools/install.sh	You want the released Mosaic CLI/framework	npm registry @mosaicstack/mosaic@latest + framework archive at main
Prerelease integration	bash tools/install.sh --next	You want the current next integration branch	Build-from-source at next
Contributor/source build	bash tools/install.sh --dev --ref X	You are testing a branch before release; --ref wins	Build-from-source at the requested ref

--next is shorthand for the prerelease integration lane: it enables source-build mode and uses next unless an explicit --ref or MOSAIC_REF is provided.

After install, the wizard runs automatically or you can invoke it manually:

mosaic wizard        # Full guided setup (gateway install → verify)

Requirements

• Node.js ≥ 22
• npm (for global @mosaicstack/mosaic install)
• One or more runtimes:
  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • OpenCode
  • Pi

Usage

Launching Agent Sessions

mosaic pi                    # Launch Pi with Mosaic injection
mosaic claude                # Launch Claude Code with Mosaic injection
mosaic codex                 # Launch Codex with Mosaic injection
mosaic opencode              # Launch OpenCode with Mosaic injection

mosaic yolo claude           # Claude with dangerous-permissions mode
mosaic yolo pi               # Pi in yolo mode

The launcher verifies your config, checks for SOUL.md, injects your AGENTS.md standards into the runtime, and forwards all arguments.

Pi launches default to a token-lean skill posture: mosaic pi passes --no-skills so Pi does not preload every global skill description into the system prompt. Use MOSAIC_PI_SKILL_MODE=all mosaic pi for the legacy all-skills catalog, or MOSAIC_PI_SKILL_MODE=discover mosaic pi to let Pi use its native settings/project skill discovery.

TUI & Gateway

mosaic tui                   # Interactive TUI connected to the gateway
mosaic gateway login         # Authenticate with a gateway instance
mosaic sessions list         # List active agent sessions

Gateway Management

mosaic gateway install       # Install and configure the gateway service
mosaic gateway verify        # Post-install health check
mosaic gateway login         # Authenticate and store a session token
mosaic gateway config rotate-token    # Rotate your API token
mosaic gateway config recover-token  # Recover a token via BetterAuth cookie

If you already have a gateway account but no token, use mosaic gateway config recover-token to retrieve one without recreating your account.

Configuration

Mosaic supports three storage tiers: local (PGlite, single-host), standalone (PostgreSQL, single-host), and federated (PostgreSQL + pgvector + Valkey, multi-host). See Federated Tier Setup for multi-user and production deployments, or Migrating to Federated to upgrade from existing tiers.

mosaic config show           # Print full config as JSON
mosaic config get <key>      # Read a specific key
mosaic config set <key> <val># Write a key
mosaic config edit           # Open config in $EDITOR
mosaic config path           # Print config file path

Management

mosaic doctor                # Health audit — detect drift and missing files
mosaic sync                  # Sync skills from canonical source
mosaic skill list            # Audit Claude skill registrations and conflicts
mosaic skill register <name> # Register one canonical skill with Claude Code
mosaic skill unregister <name> # Remove one Mosaic-owned Claude link
mosaic update                # Update CLI/framework and auto-register canonical skills
mosaic wizard                # Full guided setup wizard
mosaic bootstrap <path>      # Bootstrap a repo with Mosaic standards
mosaic coord init            # Initialize a new orchestration mission
mosaic prdy init             # Create a PRD via guided session

Sub-package Commands

Each Mosaic sub-package exposes its API surface through the unified CLI:

# User management
mosaic auth users list
mosaic auth users create
mosaic auth sso

# Agent brain (projects, missions, tasks)
mosaic brain projects
mosaic brain missions
mosaic brain tasks
mosaic brain conversations

# Agent forge pipeline
mosaic forge run
mosaic forge status
mosaic forge resume
mosaic forge personas

# Structured logging
mosaic log tail
mosaic log search
mosaic log export
mosaic log level

# MACP protocol
mosaic macp tasks
mosaic macp submit
mosaic macp gate
mosaic macp events

# Agent memory
mosaic memory search
mosaic memory stats
mosaic memory insights
mosaic memory preferences

# Task queue (Valkey)
mosaic queue list
mosaic queue stats
mosaic queue pause
mosaic queue resume
mosaic queue jobs
mosaic queue drain

# Object storage
mosaic storage status
mosaic storage tier
mosaic storage export
mosaic storage import
# Schema migration is unavailable in this release. The current storage wrapper shells
# directly to `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/db db:migrate`; it is legacy N-1,
# uncertified, and MUST NOT be invoked pending KBN-101-02/-03/-06/-08 activation.
# Future schema migration is non-operative: external bootstrap → TLS/roles → runner
# --run → runner --verify → readiness. Tier copy uses only the separately held secure
# migrate-tier route.

Telemetry

# Local observability (OTEL / Jaeger)
mosaic telemetry local status
mosaic telemetry local tail
mosaic telemetry local jaeger

# Remote telemetry (dry-run by default)
mosaic telemetry status
mosaic telemetry opt-in
mosaic telemetry opt-out
mosaic telemetry test
mosaic telemetry upload        # Dry-run unless opted in

Consent state is persisted in config. Remote upload is a no-op until you run mosaic telemetry opt-in.

Development

Prerequisites

• Node.js ≥ 22
• pnpm 10.6+
• Docker & Docker Compose

Setup

git clone [email protected]:mosaicstack/stack.git
cd stack

# Install dependencies. The local tier uses in-process PGlite; leave DATABASE_URL unset.
# The pnpm store defaults to $HOME/.local/share/pnpm/store. Override it without
# editing the checkout with NPM_CONFIG_STORE_DIR=$HOME/another-store if needed.
pnpm install

# Verify dependencies and generated state before running source-quality gates.
# Missing dependencies exit 42; stale/foreign apps/web/.next state exits 43.
# The web build certifies its exact standalone symlink manifest; added, removed,
# retargeted, or manifest-only-tampered generated links also exit 43. This detects
# accidental, independent, stale, and foreign-residue mutation—the class exposed by
# a five-month-stale .next that produced 19 phantom TS2307 errors.
# It does NOT defend against a same-UID actor that can rewrite both manifest and
# marker consistently (CWE-345). RM-59 tracks the required executor/spine-side
# trust anchor outside worktree authority.
pnpm preflight

# Optional local queue service only. This does not start PostgreSQL.
docker compose up -d valkey

# The current Gateway/Web local process is held; see docs/guides/dev-guide.md.
# Do not start it until KBN-101-02 makes inherited dotenv/DSN state fail closed.

Held future procedure

The checked-in Compose PostgreSQL service mounts legacy initialization SQL and is not a current PostgreSQL, standalone, or federated developer route. Do not start it with Compose, invoke initialization SQL, or treat the planned migrator as currently executable.

Held future activation procedure — non-operative and no current command authority until KBN-101-00, KBN-101-03, and KBN-101-05 land: external bootstrap → TLS/roles → mosaic-db-migrator --run → mosaic-db-migrator --verify → Gateway/Compose readiness. The future deployment artifacts—not this README—will provide the reviewed commands and secret-consumer interface.

For local data-layer work, PGlite needs no PostgreSQL service. The optional Compose command above starts only Valkey; OTEL Collector and Jaeger may likewise be started individually if needed, without starting PostgreSQL. A Gateway/Web local process is not currently a safe PGlite route: its unguarded dotenv loader may inherit a daemon PostgreSQL DSN. Do not use root pnpm dev or a Gateway start command until KBN-101-02 makes that state fail closed.

Quality Gates

pnpm preflight               # Checkout/dependency/generated-state validation
pnpm typecheck               # TypeScript type checking (all packages)
pnpm lint                    # ESLint (all packages)
pnpm test                    # Vitest (all packages)
pnpm format:check            # Prettier check
pnpm format                  # Prettier auto-fix

CI

Woodpecker CI runs on every push:

• pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
• Legacy N-1 CI status only — active, uncertified, and non-authorizing as an operator route: the checked-in job currently invokes pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/db run db:migrate with DATABASE_URL against an isolated disposable PostgreSQL CI database. It performs direct DDL in that CI database, is not approved ordinary behavior or an operator route, and remains a known exception pending KBN-101-06 removal/replacement by the certified runner-backed CI path.
• pnpm test (Turbo-orchestrated across all packages)

npm packages are published to the Gitea package registry on main merges.

Key Design Decisions

• Gateway is the single API surface — all clients (TUI, web, Discord, Telegram) connect through it
• ESM everywhere — "type": "module", .js extensions in imports, NodeNext resolution
• Socket.IO typed events — defined in @mosaicstack/types, enforced at compile time
• OTEL auto-instrumentation — loads before NestJS bootstrap
• Explicit @Inject() decorators — required since tsx/esbuild doesn't emit decorator metadata

Framework (~/.config/mosaic/)

The framework is the bash-based standards layer installed to every developer machine:

~/.config/mosaic/
├── AGENTS.md              ← Central standards (loaded into every runtime)
├── SOUL.md                ← Agent identity (name, style, guardrails)
├── USER.md                ← User profile (name, timezone, preferences)
├── TOOLS.md               ← Machine-level tool reference
├── bin/mosaic             ← Unified launcher (claude, codex, opencode, pi, yolo)
├── guides/                ← E2E delivery, orchestrator protocol, PRD, etc.
├── runtime/               ← Per-runtime configs (claude/, codex/, opencode/, pi/)
├── skills/                ← Universal skills (synced from agent-skills repo)
├── tools/                 ← Tool suites (orchestrator, git, quality, prdy, etc.)
└── memory/                ← Persistent agent memory (preserved across upgrades)

Forge Pipeline

Forge is a multi-stage AI pipeline for autonomous feature delivery:

Intake → Discovery → Board Review → Planning (3 stages) → Coding → Review → Remediation → Test → Deploy

Each stage has a dispatch mode (exec for research/review, yolo for coding), quality gates, and timeouts. The board review uses multiple AI personas (CEO, CTO, CFO, COO + specialists) to evaluate briefs before committing resources.

Upgrading

Run the installer again — it handles upgrades automatically:

curl -fsSL https://mosaicstack.dev/install.sh | bash

Or use the direct URL:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/stack/raw/branch/main/tools/install.sh)

Or use the CLI:

mosaic update                # Check + install CLI updates
mosaic update --check        # Check only, don't install

The CLI also performs a background update check on every invocation (cached for 1 hour).

Installer Flags

bash tools/install.sh --check           # Version check only
bash tools/install.sh --framework       # Framework only (skip npm CLI)
bash tools/install.sh --cli             # npm CLI only (skip framework)
bash tools/install.sh --next            # Prerelease lane: source build from next
bash tools/install.sh --dev             # Contributor lane: source build at --ref/main
bash tools/install.sh --ref v1.0        # Install from a specific git ref (--ref wins over --next)
bash tools/install.sh --yes             # Non-interactive, accept all defaults
bash tools/install.sh --no-auto-launch  # Skip auto-launch of wizard

The installer rejects unrecognized flags or positional arguments before making changes and prints the supported-option usage.
