Build With Us
The Living Company should not be proprietary. The architecture patterns, governance frameworks, and agent templates that power EthicsX.AI are being open-sourced so any founder can build their own AI executive team.
Open-Source Projects
Three repositories covering the full stack of building an AI-first company: the framework, the governance, and the agents.
Living Company Framework
shiba-group/living-company-frameworkThe architecture patterns for building AI-first companies. Defines how AI agents are structured, how they share memory, how they coordinate tasks, and how human oversight is maintained.
AI Governance Templates
shiba-group/ai-governance-templatesTHEMIS-inspired governance frameworks for responsible AI deployment. Policies, checklists, and decision trees that any organization can adopt to ensure their AI agents operate ethically and transparently.
AI Children Starter Kit
shiba-group/ai-children-starterStarter templates for deploying your own AI agent family. Fork, customize the personality and tools, deploy to Supabase, and have a working AI executive in under an hour.
How to Contribute
We welcome contributions from developers, AI practitioners, governance professionals, and anyone who believes AI should work ethically and transparently.
Fork the Repository
Start by forking the repo to your GitHub account. Clone locally and create a feature branch from main.
Follow Code Standards
TypeScript strict mode. Deno-compatible imports. No external npm dependencies in Edge Functions. Descriptive variable names. Comment the why, not the what.
Write Tests and Docs
Every new feature needs at least one test case and a documentation update. Templates need usage examples. Frameworks need architecture diagrams.
Submit a Pull Request
Open a PR against main with a clear description of what changed and why. Link to any related issues. One of our maintainers will review within 48 hours.
Review and Merge
We review for code quality, security, and alignment with the Living Company philosophy. Accepted contributions are credited in the changelog and on this page.
Code Standards
TypeScript Strict
All code must be TypeScript with strict mode enabled. No any types unless absolutely necessary and documented.
Deno Compatible
Edge Functions use Deno runtime. Import from URLs or standard library. No node_modules dependencies in server code.
Security First
All external inputs validated. Slack signatures verified with HMAC-SHA256. Service role keys never exposed client-side.
Documentation Required
Every exported function needs JSDoc. Every module needs a README. Architecture decisions recorded in ADRs.
