NAAb is the first programming language where governance is a runtime constraint, not a suggestion.
A single govern.json enforces what AI-generated code can do — before it executes.
12 languages governed by one config
Why NAAb Exists
Linters catch style. SAST catches known CVEs. Nobody catches an AI hallucinating pandas.fast_merge() or shipping a stub that returns hardcoded True. NAAb does.
50+ checks catch APIs that don't exist, cross-language mix-ups (.push() in Python), and fabricated function signatures — before execution.
One config file. Allowed languages, banned functions, line limits, timeout caps, code quality rules. Enforced at the runtime — not in a PR comment.
Catches pass-only functions, TODO placeholders, always-true validators, and identity functions that AI passes off as complete code.
Hard: blocked, no override. Soft: blocked with --override flag. Advisory: warned, runs anyway. You choose per rule.
Python, JS, Rust, C++, Go, C#, Ruby, PHP, Shell, Nim, Zig, Julia. Each block runs natively. The right language for each task, governed by one config.
Every execution reports what passed, what was blocked, and why. Export as SARIF, JUnit XML, or JSON. CI/CD ready out of the box.
How It Works
Four steps between AI output and production. The governance layer is not optional — it's the language.
Drop a govern.json in your project. Whitelist languages, ban dangerous functions, set line limits, require quality checks. This is your single source of truth.
Use any AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, local models. Generate code in any of 12 languages. The AI doesn't need to know about your rules.
Before execution, 50+ governance checks run against every code block. Hallucinated APIs, banned functions, stubs, security violations — caught and blocked.
Audit trail of every check. What passed, what was blocked, why. Export as SARIF for GitHub, JUnit for CI, or JSON for your pipeline.
Nothing else does this
Tools exist for style, syntax, and known CVEs. Nothing enforces code correctness, completeness, and project rules at the language level. Until now.
pandas.fast_merge() is a real API or a hallucination.
True.
pass-only functions, always-true validators. AI can't ship incomplete work.
govern.json is to AI code what Rust's borrow checker is to memory.
govern.json, same rules. No drift between sessions.
One config file controls everything
Every AI coding session starts from zero. No memory of your architecture, security requirements, or banned patterns. Generation 1 looks great. Generation 10 has drifted into a different codebase. Generation 50 uses APIs that don't exist, ships stubs as "complete," and ignores your language standards.
The industry's answer is "better prompts" and "human review." Prompts are suggestions an LLM can ignore. Reviews happen days later. NAAb is the first language where governance is a runtime constraint — enforced at the same level as syntax errors. The AI generates freely. govern.json decides what actually executes. No hallucinated API has ever reached production through NAAb's governance layer.
Ecosystem
Production-ready companions that extend governance into scanning, optimization, and data protection.
Be on the lookout for bad code. Scans your codebase for hallucinated APIs, oversimplified stubs, security vulnerabilities, and incomplete logic — catching what code review misses.
Rewrite slow code, prove it's correct. Analyzes Python, Ruby, or JavaScript hotspots, generates optimized Go, Rust, or C++ — and mathematically proves the results are identical.
Sovereign data gateway. Zero PII leakage to LLMs, APIs, or third-party services. Self-synthesizing worker binaries with SHA-256 verification and forensic shredding on shutdown.
