NESS-JS Helper

NESS is a structured Node.js platform built around a Core Orchestrator and installable Layers Packs. It is not a convenience-first framework and it is not meant to hide architecture behind a monolithic toolchain. The real project lives on GitLab, where you can find the core, the platform vision, the manifest, and the official packs that extend the system.

This npm package is only the helper entry for that ecosystem. If you arrived here from npm, you are not installing the whole platform logic through this package alone: you are using a small helper that can introduce the project, guide a first installation, and help with a few basic project operations before you move into the real core orchestrator workflow.

The helper is useful if you want a simpler starting point from npm, but the core project can still be used directly from GitLab with git clone and then managed locally with node project start and node project manager.

Official project references

• Main project space: https://gitlab.com/ness-js
• Platform readme: https://gitlab.com/ness-js/gitlab-profile/-/blob/main/readme.md
• Full manifest: https://gitlab.com/ness-js/gitlab-profile/-/blob/main/manifest.md

What this helper does

• shows project info and orientation
• installs the core orchestrator project via git
• updates an existing git-based core project conservatively
• explains how to remove a local project cleanly

Quick usage

npm scripts inside the package:

npm run info
npm run installer
npm run updater
npm run uninstaller

or, if you like the standard project command:

project info
project installer
project updater
project uninstaller

Important note

This helper is not the core runtime and does not replace the project manager inside a real NESS installation. Once the core project is installed, the normal local entry points remain:

node project start
node project manager

Warning: the project is still evolving, and some helper flows are intentionally conservative to avoid damaging a real project folder.
