🏛️ About VALORA

VALORA (Versatile Agent Logic for Orchestrated Response Architecture) is a next-generation TypeScript-based platform designed to orchestrate a sophisticated network of AI agents to automate the complete software development lifecycle. By moving beyond simple "code generation", VALORA manages the delicate interplay between requirements, architecture, and deployment. VALORA provides intelligent automation while maintaining human oversight.

Why VALORA?

Intelligent Orchestration: VALORA coordinates 11 specialised AI agents, from @lead technical oversight to @secops-engineer compliance, ensuring the right expert is assigned to every task.

Three-Tier Flexibility: The engine adapts to your resources, offering MCP Sampling, Guided Completion, or API Fallback modes.

Phased Governance: Every project follows a rigorous 8-phase lifecycle, moving from initialisation and planning through implementation to validation and PR creation.

Strategic Optimisation: To balance depth and speed, VALORA assigns specific LLMs (like GPT-5 for planning or Claude Haiku for validation) based on the task's complexity.

VALORA is not a replacement for the developer; it is the high-fidelity instrument through which the developer conducts a full symphony of AI agents.

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+

Installation

# Install globally
pnpm add -g @windagency/valora          # pnpm
yarn global add @windagency/valora      # yarn
npm install -g @windagency/valora       # npm

# Verify installation
valora --version
# Should output: 2.4.0

Project Setup

Initialise VALORA in your project:

cd your-project
valora init         # Minimal setup (.valora/config.json)
valora init --full  # Full setup with override directories

Your First Command

# Create an implementation plan
valora plan "Add user authentication with OAuth"

The engine will:

1. Select the appropriate agent (@lead)
2. Gather codebase context
3. Generate a detailed implementation plan
4. Provide step-by-step guidance

Zero-Config Usage with Cursor subscription

No API keys? No problem. The engine works immediately using Guided Completion Mode:

valora plan "Add dark mode toggle"
# → Generates structured prompt for Cursor AI
# → Uses your Cursor subscription (free)

Optional: API Configuration

For fully autonomous execution with cloud providers:

valora config setup --quick

# Or set environment variables
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

Optional: Local Models (No API Key)

Run fully offline with Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible server:

# Install and start Ollama
ollama pull llama3.1
ollama serve

# Use it directly
valora plan "Add auth" --provider local --model llama3.1

# Or configure as default
export LOCAL_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1
export LOCAL_DEFAULT_MODEL=llama3.1

Project-Level Overrides (.valora/)

When installed in a project, VALORA supports a .valora/ directory for local overrides:

.valora/                         # Project-specific configuration
├── config.json                  # Project settings (overrides defaults)
├── agents/                      # Custom/override agent definitions

├── index/                       # Codebase symbol index (gitignored)
