Nimbus

AI-powered DevOps terminal agent — type nimbus, get a live infrastructure operator

Nimbus is an intelligent command-line agent purpose-built for DevOps and cloud engineering. Type nimbus, describe what you want, and Nimbus plans, validates, and executes across Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, AWS, GCP, and Azure — all from a single terminal session.

Install

# npm
npm install -g @build-astron-co/nimbus

# Homebrew (use the fully-qualified tap name to avoid name conflicts)
brew tap the-ai-project-co/tap
brew install the-ai-project-co/tap/nimbus

# Shell script (auto-detects best method)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/the-ai-project-co/nimbus/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Pre-built standalone binaries (~68 MB, no Node.js required) are on the Releases page.

Quick Start

nimbus              # launches onboarding on first run, TUI on subsequent runs

1. First run — onboarding wizard walks you through provider + API key setup
2. Initialize your project — nimbus init detects your stack and generates NIMBUS.md
3. Start asking — describe what you want in natural language

"Run terraform plan and show me what will change"
"Check for pod restarts in the production namespace"
"Is there any infrastructure drift in my staging workspace?"

If ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (or any supported provider key) is already set, onboarding is skipped and you go straight to the agent.
