What is the 'Neural Link'?

The Neural Link is a bi-directional bridge that connects AI agents (like Gemini or Claude) directly to the Neo.mjs runtime. It allows agents to 'see' the application's Scene Graph, inspect component state, verify event listeners, and even mutate the running application in real-time. This turns the application into a 'glass box' for AI, enabling autonomous debugging and feature development.

Why is Neo.mjs called an 'Application Engine' instead of a framework?

Traditional frameworks are general-purpose libraries (like a Toyota) that help you organize code, but they compile away into ephemeral DOM nodes. Neo.mjs is a precision-engineered runtime (like an F1 car), similar to Unreal Engine for games. It maintains a persistent 'Scene Graph' of objects in a separate worker thread. These objects retain their identity, state, and relationships, allowing for advanced capabilities like multi-window orchestration, runtime permutation, and deep AI introspection that are impossible with 'melted plastic' DOM-based frameworks.

What is 'Context Engineering'?

Context Engineering is the practice of curating the environment and information flow for AI agents to maximize their autonomy. In Neo.mjs, this is implemented via three Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers: a Knowledge Base for semantic code understanding, a Memory Core for learning from past sessions, and a GitHub Workflow server for project management. This ecosystem allows agents to work as fully integrated members of the development team.

What is 'Object Permanence' in the context of Neo.mjs?

In Neo.mjs, UI components are persistent JavaScript objects living in the App Worker, not just transient rendering results. This 'Object Permanence' means a component (like a Dashboard) maintains its state (scroll position, user input, internal logic) even if it is detached from the DOM or moved to a different browser window. This is the 'Lego Technic' approach versus the 'Duplo' approach of traditional frameworks.

What is an 'Agent Operating System'?

Neo.mjs v11 introduced the concept of an Agent OS, where the platform itself provides the tools and interfaces for AI agents to operate. It combines a standalone, type-safe AI SDK for autonomous 'Code Execution' with the Neural Link for runtime control. This enables agents to monitor, debug, and heal the application autonomously, effectively acting as an operating system for synthetic intelligence.

How does Neo.mjs handle multi-window applications?

Neo.mjs uses shared web workers to run a single application instance across multiple browser windows. All windows share the same application state and data in real-time. Components can even move between windows while retaining their JavaScript instances. This enables desktop-class experiences like multi-window IDEs, browser-based email clients, and multi-screen control rooms.

What makes Neo.mjs different from React, Angular, or Vue?

Neo.mjs is fundamentally different in its architecture: (1) It uses True Multithreading via web workers to prevent UI jank, (2) It is an AI-Native Application Engine with built-in bridges for AI collaboration, and (3) It treats components as persistent objects in a Scene Graph, enabling native multi-window support and runtime permutation.

Document and Configure GitHub CLI Authentication

Name: Neo.mjs Application Engine
Author: Neo.mjs

Closed v11.0.0 documentationenhancementhelp wantedgood first issuehacktoberfestai

tobiu commented on Oct 5, 2025, 12:32 PM

To enable the AI agent (and developers) to use the GitHub CLI for repository interactions, a secure and reliable authentication method is required. This ticket covers the process of documenting the recommended authentication method, which will likely involve a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with appropriate permissions, configured as an environment variable (GH_TOKEN).

Acceptance Criteria

Research and determine the minimum required scopes for the GitHub PAT to allow for:
- Reading issues and PRs.
- Creating and commenting on issues.
- Checking out PR branches.
- Commenting on PRs.
Create a new guide in learn/guides/ (e.g., learn/guides/development/GitHubCliSetup.md) that explains how to:
- Create a suitable GitHub PAT.
- Set the GH_TOKEN environment variable for the shell where the agent is running.
- Verify authentication using a command like gh auth status.
Update the main AGENTS.md file to reference this new guide as a prerequisite for workflows that require GitHub interaction.

Hey @tobiu could you please assign this issue to me ? I would love to contribute by working on it.

Hi, and thanks for your interest.

These tickets require the "ai native" workflows, so you need to read these 2 first: https://github.com/neomjs/neo/blob/dev/.github/WORKING_WITH_AGENTS.md https://github.com/neomjs/neo/blob/dev/.github/AI_QUICK_START.md

Since the epic subs strongly build on and relate to each other, I also strongly recommend to join the Slack and / or Discord Channels, so that you guys can sync. Like a real project :)
