## About

Command and control for your AI agents. One source of truth for the rules, skills, and standards every agent follows.

Agent development is easy — right up until you want control.

Your agents are off on missions in the field, casually carrying out orders however they see fit. One repository gets a careful set of rules; the next one gets whatever the agent felt like doing that afternoon. A teammate tweaks a skill on their laptop and now their agent and yours disagree about how your code should be written.

You need them organized. You need them running the mission the way you want it run:

Briefs are authored once at headquarters and delivered down the chain — all the way to the directory where an Agent starts its Mission.

Headquarters. It stores and manages every Brief your Organization publishes, tracks versions as they change, and hands them out to Handlers in the field.

A quiet daemon on each developer's machine. It receives Briefs from The Agency on a schedule, keeps its own copy, and drops the latest one at every Location it finds.

Your project directories. Mark one as a Location and any Agent that starts a Mission there — today or six months from now — finds its Brief already waiting.

A Brief is everything an Agent needs to carry out its Mission the way you want it carried out. One Brief, one source of truth, delivered identically to every Agent.
