AIOX Technology Stack

🌐 EN | PT | ES

Version: 1.1 Last Updated: 2025-12-14 Status: Official Framework Standard Migration Notice: This document will migrate to SynkraAI/aiox-core repository in Q2 2026 (see Decision 005)

📋 Table of Contents

Overview

AIOX is built on modern JavaScript/TypeScript with Node.js runtime, optimized for cross-platform CLI development with interactive UX and agent orchestration capabilities.

Philosophy:

  • Prefer boring technology where possible (proven, stable dependencies)
  • Choose exciting technology only where necessary (performance, DX improvements)
  • Minimize dependencies (reduce supply chain risk)
  • Cross-platform first (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Core Runtime

Node.js

Version: 18.0.0+
LTS: Yes (Active LTS until April 2025)
Reason: Stable async/await, fetch API, ES2022 support

Why Node.js 18+:

  • ✅ Native fetch() API (no need for axios/node-fetch)
  • ✅ ES2022 module support (top-level await)
  • ✅ V8 10.2+ (performance improvements)
  • ✅ Active LTS support (security patches)
  • ✅ Cross-platform (Windows/macOS/Linux)

Package Manager:

Primary: npm 9.0.0+
Alternative: yarn/pnpm (user choice)
Lock File: package-lock.json

Languages & Transpilers

JavaScript (Primary)

Standard: ES2022
Module System: CommonJS (require/module.exports)
Future: ESM migration planned (Story 6.2.x)

Why ES2022:

  • ✅ Class fields and private methods
  • ✅ Top-level await
  • ✅ Error cause
  • ✅ Array.at() method
  • ✅ Object.hasOwn()

TypeScript (Type Definitions)

Version: 5.9.3
Usage: Type definitions only (.d.ts files)
Compilation: Not used (pure JS runtime)
Future: Full TypeScript migration considered for Q2 2026

Current TypeScript Usage:

// index.d.ts - Type definitions for public API
export interface AgentConfig {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  enabled: boolean;
  dependencies?: string[];
}

export function executeAgent(agentId: string, args: Record<string, any>): Promise<any>;

TypeScript Configuration:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2022",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "lib": ["ES2022"],
    "strict": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "declaration": true,
    "outDir": "./dist"
  }
}

Core Dependencies

CLI & Interactive UX

@clack/prompts (^0.11.0)

const agent = await select({
  message: 'Select agent:',
  options: [
    { value: 'dev', label: '💻 Developer' },
    { value: 'qa', label: '🧪 QA Engineer' },
  ],
});

chalk (^4.1.2)

Purpose: Terminal string styling Usage: Colored output, formatting Why: Cross-platform, zero dependencies, stable API

const chalk = require('chalk');
console.log(chalk.green('✅ Agent activated successfully'));
console.log(chalk.red('❌ Task failed'));

picocolors (^1.1.1)

Purpose: Lightweight color library (faster alternative to chalk) Usage: Performance-critical color output Why: 14x smaller than chalk, 2x faster

const pc = require('picocolors');
console.log(pc.green('✅ Fast output'));

ora (^5.4.1)

Purpose: Terminal spinners Usage: Loading indicators, async operations Why: Beautiful spinners, customizable, widely used

const ora = require('ora');
const spinner = ora('Loading agent...').start();
await loadAgent();
spinner.succeed('Agent loaded');

File System & Path Operations

fs-extra (^11.3.2)

Purpose: Enhanced file system operations Usage: File copying, directory creation, JSON read/write Why: Promise-based, additional utilities over built-in fs

const fs = require('fs-extra');

await fs.ensureDir('path/to/dir');
await fs.outputJson('config.json', data);

glob (^11.0.3)

Purpose: File pattern matching Usage: Finding files by patterns (e.g., *.md, **/*.yaml) Why: Fast, supports gitignore patterns

const { glob } = require('glob');
const stories = await glob('docs/stories/**/*.md');

  .action((name) => {
    console.log(`Activating agent: ${name}`);
  });

const answers = await inquirer.prompt([
  {
    type: 'list',
    name: 'agent',
    message: 'Select agent:',
    choices: ['dev', 'qa', 'architect'],
  },
]);

Sandboxing & Security

isolated-vm (^5.0.4)

Purpose: V8 isolate for sandboxed JavaScript execution Usage: Safe execution of user scripts, task execution Why: Security isolation, memory limits, timeout control

const isolate = new ivm.Isolate({ memoryLimit: 128 });
const context = await isolate.createContext();

Validation

validator (^13.15.15)

Purpose: String validators and sanitizers Usage: Input validation (URLs, emails, etc.) Why: Comprehensive, well-tested, no dependencies

const validator = require('validator');

Future Stack (Post-Migration)

Planned for Q2-Q4 2026 (after repository restructuring):

ESM Migration

// Current: CommonJS
const agent = require('./agent');
module.exports = { executeAgent };

// Future: ES Modules
import { agent } from './agent.js';
export { executeAgent };

Full TypeScript

// Migrate from JS + .d.ts to full TypeScript
// Benefits: Type safety, better refactoring, improved DX

Build Tooling

Bundler: esbuild or tsup
Reason: Fast builds, tree-shaking, minification
Target: Single executable CLI (optional)

Testing Improvements

E2E Testing: Playwright (browser automation tests)
Performance Testing: Benchmark.js (workflow timing)

Version Compatibility Matrix

| Component | Version | Compatibility | Notes | | ---------------- | ------- | ------------- | --------------------- | | Node.js | 18.0.0+ | Required | Active LTS | | npm | 9.0.0+ | Required | Package manager | | TypeScript | 5.9.3 | Recommended | Type definitions | | ESLint | 9.38.0 | Required | Linting | | Prettier | 3.5.3 | Required | Formatting | | Jest | 30.2.0 | Required | Testing | | Git | 2.30+ | Required | Version control | | GitHub CLI | 2.x+ | Optional | Repository management | | Railway CLI | 3.x+ | Optional | Deployment | | Supabase CLI | 1.x+ | Optional | Database management |

Performance Considerations

Bundle Size

# Production bundle size (minified)
Total: ~5MB (includes all dependencies)

# Critical dependencies (always loaded):
- commander: 120KB
- chalk: 15KB
- yaml: 85KB
- fs-extra: 45KB

# Optional dependencies (lazy loaded):
- inquirer: 650KB (interactive mode only)
- @clack/prompts: 180KB (wizard mode only)

Startup Time

Cold Start: ~200ms (initial load)
Warm Start: ~50ms (cached modules)
Yolo Mode: ~100ms (skip validation)

Optimization Strategy:
  - Lazy load heavy dependencies
  - Cache parsed YAML configs
  - Use require() conditionally

Memory Usage

Baseline: 30MB (Node.js + AIOX core)
Agent Execution: +10MB (per agent)
Story Processing: +20MB (markdown parsing)
Peak: ~100MB (typical workflow)
