NomArmy Overview

The nomArmy MCP server coordinates sandboxed coding workers and independently verifies their changes before committing them. It creates Git worktrees, runs workers in offline Podman sandboxes, reruns repository verification in a fresh sandbox, and checks whether tests fail when the production change is reverted. Reach for it when agent-generated code needs evidence beyond a worker's completion report, especially for larger features or parallel work.

Primary Use Cases for NomArmy:

Delegate feature work to isolated coding workers
Verify agent-generated changes before review
Check whether tests detect a production change
Run repository verification without a worker
