0008: The agent line moves to spikyuni

Status: Accepted, 2026-10-17. Supersedes the org choice in 0006. The rest of 0006, including the uni- prefix, stands.

Decision 0006 made cyberuni-agent the GitHub org and npm owner for the agent plugins. The name held up poorly in use:

  • It is two words joined by a hyphen. People misorder it or cut it short.
  • It is hard to say aloud.

The goal was one word in the vein of superuni, which is taken on GitHub.

  • The org is spikyuni. It is one word and easy to say. It carries an image, a unicorn’s spiky horn, which gives the line a mascot. It keeps uni, so it still ties to unional and to cyberuni.
  • All four repositories move: .github, uni-agent-kit, upx, and this site. The site is served at https://spikyuni.github.io. The old cyberuni-agent.github.io URLs do not redirect.
  • npm package names do not change. @cyberuni/agent-harness and @repobuddy/upx keep their names; only their repository and homepage links move.
  • The npm org spikyuni exists, owned by unional. The @spikyuni scope is reserved for future packages.

Rejected:

Option Why not
superuni Taken on GitHub.
hyperuni, turbouni Free, but generic.
peakuni Can read as “peak university”.
nieruni A NieR: Automata reference, but hard to read run together.
uni-pod NieR’s support Pods are an apt image, but the name needs a hyphen.
pooruni Reads badly.
Keeping cyberuni-agent Hard to say and easy to misorder.

Other candidates were already taken.

  • The name does not say “agent”. The repositories and packages carry that.
  • The org steps away from the cyber* naming family.
  • Links to cyberuni-agent.github.io break. Every page and package link points to spikyuni instead.
  • Decision 0006’s URL keeps its cyberuni-agent-home slug, because an accepted record is never rewritten.
