What it is¶

Onklaud 5: a Python orchestration tool for developers who want a code draft assessed by several language models rather than one model.

• finds known library or standard-library solutions before generation;
• runs Kimi and GLM review passes, then an arbitration loop and a local quality gate;
• accepts an OpenRouter key and can use an OpenAI-compatible local endpoint.

Development line¶

• 2026-07-02 — On 2026-07-02, Onklaud 5 was linked to a public GitHub repository. On 2026-07-02, the Onklaud 5 development line included a link to the GitHub repository KorroAi/onklaud-5. The dated link establishes a public repository reference for the project, but does not establish a release, feature set, or code change.

What changed¶

2026-06-22 — current documentation says the project ran its internal benchmark suite, reporting 20 of 35 Ponytail hits and 29 of 30 pipeline checks. 2026-07-02 — Onklaud 5 was made available through the linked repository; the current checkout configures Kimi K2.7 Code and GLM 5.2, but no dated tag or commit proves that this exact state existed on the event date.

How to use this¶

From 2026-07-02, practitioners should treat KorroAi/onklaud-5 as the identified public repository reference for Onklaud 5 and inspect its contents before relying on it.

1. Clone the repository, copy .env.example to .env, and set OPENROUTER_API_KEY for the Kimi and GLM calls. — https://github.com/KorroAi/onklaud-5
2. Run python test_pipeline.py as the bundled local smoke check before connecting it to a workflow. — https://github.com/KorroAi/onklaud-5
3. Check configuration with python council.py status, then submit a draft with python council.py dual --type code --prompt "..." --draft-file file.py; use loop for the longer pre-design, dual-review, gate, and arbitration path. — https://github.com/KorroAi/onklaud-5

Best practices¶

• Treat test_pipeline.py as a structural smoke test, not hosted-model end-to-end proof: its default entry point runs local checks and never invokes an API test. Add a non-sensitive API canary and your own test suite before relying on a review result. — https://github.com/KorroAi/onklaud-5/blob/master/test_pipeline.py
• Do not accept a degraded council loop as a normal review: without OPENROUTER_API_KEY, the code explicitly warns that loop mode will run degraded; other API modes return an error. — https://github.com/KorroAi/onklaud-5/blob/master/council.py
• Confirm that your production use meets the revenue or headcount condition, or obtain a commercial licence; the BSL converts to MIT only on 2030-06-22. — https://github.com/KorroAi/onklaud-5/blob/master/LICENSE

Superseded by this¶

• Guidance to treat the current repository as permissively open source is obsolete: the licence is BSL 1.1 with conditional production rights until its MIT change date (observed 2026-09-05).

Still unknown¶

• A dated tag, release, or archived commit for 2026-07-02 was not available, so the current repository cannot prove its contents on that date.
• The current sources call the repository Onklaud 5 but the licence calls the licensed work v3.2; no documented mapping between those labels was found.
• The 57.1% task-resolution and quality claims are self-reported; no independent reproduction was found.
