how it works

Follow one idea from a sentence to main.

Seven steps. People decide at five of them, agents do the building, and one gate stands in front of main. Click through, or press play.

  • A person decides
  • Someone works
  • The gate checks

Nothing starts without a written reason. One sentence is enough to begin.

People decide

A person approves the spec, the plan and each task before an agent touches them, and a person merges. The agent never grants itself permission.

Leaders, lesson 3: who decides what

Agents build

Each agent works in its own copy, writes the failing test first, then the fix. Your AI tool, your model: the way of working stays the same.

Builders, lesson 7: tests first

Checks guard main

One command runs every check, for people, agents and CI alike. If it can be skipped, it only helps. If it runs on every pull request, it's the gate.

A rule written only in an instruction file is a request.

If it matters, a check enforces it.
