Reliability & compatibility
Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.
How agent discovery & health will work →About
Plan Compass
Stress-test the user's plan without creating an exhausting interrogation.
Core Loop
Ask exactly one question at a time.
Each question must include:
- The progress label.
- The question.
- Why this matters in one sentence.
- Your recommended answer.
- Two or three concrete answer choices.
- A suggested default if the user is unsure.
Use this shape:
Decision 2 of 6: Data ownership
Question: Who owns the saved draft?
Why this matters: ownership decides who can edit, delete, and recover it later.
Recommended answer: The user owns the draft.
Choices:
- A: User owns it.
- B: Team owns it.
- C: Project owns it.
Default: A.
Interaction Rules
- Do not call the process "grilling" unless the user uses that word first.
- Keep questions short and specific.
- Do not ask broad open-ended questions unless unavoidable.
- Do not ask multiple questions in one response.
- Do not require the user to hold previous answers in memory.
- Restate only the current decision and the immediate consequence.
- Prefer examples over abstract categories.
- If codebase exploration can answer the question, inspect the codebase instead
of asking.
- If the user seems stuck, narrow the decision instead of explaining more.
- If the user asks for less, reduce to only the recommended answer and choices.
Progress Format
Use this format:
Decision 2 of 6: Data ownership
Choose the total decision count conservatively. Prefer 4 to 6 decisions for a normal plan. Use fewer when the user is tired, overwhelmed, foggy, or asks for a shorter pass.
Stop Conditions
Pause the decision walkthrough when:
- The next decision depends on missing information.
- The user has answered enough to produce a useful plan.
- The user says they are overwhelmed, tired, foggy, or done.
When pausing, summarize only:
- Decisions made.
- Open decisions.
- Next useful action.
