Showcase

Teams and projects shipping real software with the Stella CLI — Oxagen, who build their platform with Stella, and stella-examples, the open cookbook with a working example for every configurable surface.

Real teams, shipping real software, with Stella in the loop. Each entry names who they are, what they ship, and how Stella fits the way they work.

Oxagen

oxagen.sh ships Oxagen with the Stella CLI as their code agent of choice. Day-to-day feature work, refactors, and fix-ups run through Stella sessions: the Command Deck for interactive work, goal mode when there's a definition of done to drive to green, and fleets when a batch of tasks can fan out across isolated worktrees — with every run's cost and outcome metered in the workspace's local telemetry.

Oxagen also hosts this documentation site — stella.oxagen.sh runs on their infrastructure.

Stella is BYOK and local-first for showcased teams too: Oxagen's sessions run on their own provider keys, and their telemetry never leaves their machines.

stella-examples

github.com/macanderson/stella-examples is the open configuration cookbook for Stella itself: a working example for every configurable surface in the CLI, each file matching the schema Stella actually parses, each directory README saying where the file goes on disk. Clone it, copy a file into place, and it works.

SurfaceExamples
Settings profilesminimal, balanced, max-quality, dirt-cheap, local-ollama, and team settings.json profiles, plus the credentials.toml shape — the model lineups from the examples as ready-to-copy files
Lifecycle hooksA SessionStart context injector, a PreToolUse bash guard that vetoes destructive commands, and a PostToolUse JSONL audit log — wired together in one hooks block (docs)
Custom commands/fix-issue (with $ARGUMENTS), /changelog, /pr-description (docs)
Custom agentscode-reviewer (read-only toolbelt), test-writer (witness tests + verify_done), docs-writer (no shell) (docs)
Skillsconventional-commits and release-checklist (docs)
Rules & guardsHard guards — no-force-push, protect-migrations, no-shell — and a soft code-conventions rule (docs)
Custom toolstodo_scan (input schema + STELLA_INPUT_* env) and loc_report (minimal manifest) (docs)
MCP serversAn mcp.toml with both stdio and HTTP transports (docs)
Fleet plansA feature build-out DAG in TOML and a parallel cleanup sweep in JSON, with claims and worktree isolation (docs)
Memory & domainsA hand-tuned domains.toml and the lesson → skill → rule promotion loop (docs)
Scripting & CIci-autofix.sh (budget-capped, oracle-armed) and nightly-goal.sh (cron-able goal runs)

Everything in stella-examples respects the trust boundary: project-scope hooks, MCP servers, and credential-routing fields stay inert in a cloned repo until you opt in with STELLA_TRUST_PROJECT=1.

Add your project

Shipping with Stella? Open a pull request against macanderson/stella that adds an entry to stella-docs/content/docs/showcase.mdx — who you are, a link, and a few sentences on how Stella fits your workflow. Entries should be things that actually ship; hello-worlds are better served by the examples. Have a hook, agent, profile, or plan worth sharing instead? Send it to stella-examples.

Stella is totally free and open source, dual-licensed MIT or Apache 2.0— your choice: MIT's three-paragraph simplicity, or Apache 2.0's explicit patent grant that enterprises prefer. Use it, fork it, embed it, ship it — no account, no phone-home, no strings. What that means →
