Build on the runtime your agents answer to.

Octos is a governed runtime for agent compositions — it composes a task, makes the decision, grades it against the outcome, renders to any surface, and keeps memory true. These docs show you how.

The five verbs

Everything in Octos is one loop. Learn the five verbs and you know the shape of the whole system.

• Compose — a vertical is a configuration of services and checks; the engine assembles the right stack per task.
• Decide — the runtime makes a call under your checks, with the evidence attached.
• Grade — every decision is scored later against what actually happened.
• Render — the same composition surfaces as chat, a CLI, or a full app.
• Govern — decisions, evidence, and memory are kept as an audit-ready record.
