nerve

Nerve is an Agent Development Kit (ADK) that allows technical users to build, run, evaluate, and orchestrate LLM-based agents using declarative YAML configurations and a command-line interface. It emphasizes programmable, auditable, and reproducible automation with support for multi-agent communication and various LLMs.

nerve is currently grouped under Observability, which makes it easier to evaluate through workflow fit instead of isolated features alone. Based on the available data, it leans most heavily toward Declarative Agents: Define agents using a clean YAML format including system prompt, task, tools, and variables. and Automating complex tasks with LLMs (e.g., custom chatbots, data processing).. The listed license is GPL3, which is useful when adoption constraints matter. It also shows measurable community traction with 1.3k GitHub stars.
