We’re building an open stack that lets AI coding agents deliver work with the discipline senior engineers expect. Our latest write-up, “Intent Weaving for AI Coding Agents,” breaks down how we encode strategy, policy, and telemetry into machine-executable intent, plus an honest inventory of where current agents fail (reasoning, repo awareness, testing, etc.).
Highlights: - Mission compiler that turns business objectives into guardrail-rich plans for agents. - Knowledge graph + policy DSL so automation stays inside governance envelopes. - Pain-points matrix from real deployments; new benchmarks that punish regressions, not just pass unit tests. - Open-source pieces as we release them; Commander is already MIT-licensed.
We’d love feedback from folks shipping agentic workflows or wrestling with AI codegen drift. Where should we push harder? What failure modes have we missed?

Thanks for reading, and be kind. Creating a new category means stretching before the skills are perfect.
Here is an example of a state space map rendered in 2D by PCA. It maps LLM research papers from 2025. It does not have policies attached to state positions yet, but can be used as a visual map.

A cool thing both for intent weaving and state space policy approach is that they do not prescribe a sequence of steps, they are more like a GPS map allowing rerouting towards goal state at any moment. This is a more flexible description than a static procedure.
