CONTROLLED AGENT LIFECYCLE FRAMEWORK

See the work.
Keep the evidence.

Make a request, inspect the changed files and checks, then continue from a retained attempt. A lightweight harness and workbench for the AI you already use.

The context you need.
Closer to the task.

Find retained project records and connect the order, scope and checks for a task. Context queries and coordination need no extra AI or resident indexing server.

01

Find the earlier work

Repository Intelligence

Read the selected project’s module context and original records. Repository Intelligence is built into the core, with no separate Repository extension to install.

02

Connect order and scope

GCN / MCL

Connect declared prerequisites, file ownership and check conditions. The shared Rust core inspects the plan and its current evidence.

03

Look up a useful method

Computer Engineering · Pack / Pattern / Method

Search a bundled catalogue of 367 engineering references. Some contain only names and sources; larger collections can be imported separately.

CURRENT / RECORDED / NEXT

A past success is not
a current result.

Keep current checks distinct from retained results after files change. When a task stops, see the next item that needs inspection or a decision.

Start with one task.

Prepare a small task with the first-task guide, using the account and tools you already have.

  1. Extract to a new folder

    Download Workbench for your operating system. Preserve existing records, contracts, settings and older task runtimes.

  2. Choose the project and AI

    Select your existing AI connection. Describe the intended result and what must be preserved.

  3. Check readiness and results

    Follow the first-task guide. After execution, inspect the changed files and the actual check results together.
