What we are building next.
Each piece is designed in the open before it is built, and ships when CI tests it.
A backend that people and AI agents share, under one set of rules.
At level 6 an agent drafts a change, a person approves it, and the audit log records both. Every camp on the way ships in the MIT release, so the climb pays off before the summit.
- 01
Every level ships MIT
Nothing on the way up goes behind a paid plan.
- 02
Done means tested
A level is complete when what it needs has shipped and CI tests it on every pull request.
- 03
Planned in the open
Each piece is designed in a GitHub issue before it is built.
Build on what ships today.
Everything marked as working is in the current release, MIT licensed, on your own infrastructure.
