Built on Dhara

Dhara is an open-source coding harness built for structured agentic software delivery. Its lean, extensible core powers custom extensions, skills, and agents that adapt AI toyour complex workflows.

Extensions & Skills

Custom extensions teach AI your domain — proprietary APIs, internal tools, compliance rules, and legacy systems. Skills that make it fluent in your workflow.

Reduce Team Size

One AI agent pipeline replaces multiple roles — manager, developer, QA, and DevOps. Your team focuses on decisions while agents handle the entire SDLC autonomously.

How It Works: pi + Your Workflow

Built from the leanest open-source coding harness, then tailored until AI fits exactly how your team works.

Step 01

Start with Dhara

Dhara is an open-source coding harness built for structured agentic software delivery. No bloat, no unnecessary abstractions. Just a lean, extensible core that gives you complete control.

  • Open-source core — zero vendor lock-in
  • Plug in any LLM provider or run local models
  • Standard for agentic harness
Step 02

Extensions Built for Your Stack

Custom extensions and skills built around your workflows, tools, and domain — teaching AI your exact processes, APIs, and compliance requirements.

  • Custom tools for your proprietary systems
  • Workflow-specific agent skills
  • MCP integration for your existing tools
Step 03

AI Adapts to You

Your team sends a message. AI agents — each with specialized skills — execute the entire SDLC: analyze requirements, plan architecture, write code, test, QA, and deploy.

  • Manager agent plans and assigns tasks
  • Developer agent writes production code
  • QA agent tests and verifies
  • DevOps agent builds and deploys
Step 04

Ship Faster With Fewer People

One AI pipeline replaces multiple roles. Your team focuses on high-level decisions while agents handle the execution. Features that took days now ship in hours.

  • 6-person workflow → 1 person + AI agents
  • Days per feature → hours per feature
  • Consistent quality with automated verification

Zosma Code vs. Claude Code & Claude Cowork

The freedom you deserve. No vendor lock-in. No data leaks. No forced workflows. And a fraction of the cost.

What You Get With Zosma Code

Everything you expect from a coding AI — plus the freedom that proprietary tools will never give you.

Any LLM, Anywhere

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Llama, Mistral, Qwen — or your own fine-tuned model. Run locally, in your cloud, or on-prem. Switch with a config change. No lock-in, ever.

Fraction of the Cost

Built on pi — the minimal open-source coding harness — Zosma Code consumes far fewer tokens than Claude Code, Cursor, or OpenCode. Use providers like Crof AI or OpenCode Go with $5–10/month plans. Your total cost: a fraction of proprietary tools.

Fully Local & On-Premise

Run everything on your hardware behind your firewall. No data leaves your premises. Complete data sovereignty with zero external dependencies.

Your Workflow, Not Theirs

Other AI coding tools force you into their workflow. Zosma Code is a harness — it adapts to your existing processes. Configure, extend, and shape it however you need.

Built on Dhara — Open-Source Coding Harness

Zosma Code is built on Dhara, an open-source coding harness built for structured agentic delivery. Minimal, highly customizable. Dhara's lean, extensible core, adapted for your complex enterprise workflows.

Custom Extensions & Skills

Custom extensions and skills built on Dhara's SDK to fit your exact workflows. Custom tools, MCP support, workflow-specific agents — shaped entirely around your process.

Runs Anywhere

Docker, Kubernetes, bare metal, air-gapped environments. Your laptop, your data center, or the cloud. Zosma Code is portable by design.

Full SDLC Automation

AI agents handle the entire software development lifecycle — from requirements analysis and architecture planning to coding, testing, QA, and deployment. One message starts the pipeline. The output is production-ready.

Enterprise-Grade Security

No dependency on external APIs when running locally. Full audit trails. Role-based access control. Encrypted communication. Your code never leaves your infrastructure.

Smaller Team. More Output.

One developer with Zosma Code replaces a 6-person team across the entire SDLC.
