Write the intent down once. Every agent reads it.
Visions, pillars, lenses and policies in one versioned record. It is the ground every design exploration, agent and audit is checked against.

Seven kinds of intent, one ledger.
SCS, the Steering Completeness Score, checks that all seven categories are present.
The principles your teams build by.
The architectural domains your design stands on.
Written rules, adopted from standards or your own.
The standards and obligations your design must meet.
Decisions with context, linked to what they govern.
What could go wrong, recorded alongside the intent.
What you intend to gain, recorded alongside the intent.
From a standard to a checked PR.
Start from AWS Well-Architected, OWASP Top 10, ISO 27001 or CIS Benchmarks, in one click.
Architects tune pillars and policies, then approve. Every change is versioned and reviewed by a human.
Coding agents load the lenses in scope over MCP before they write code.
Each artifact resolves into lenses with a yes or no outcome. The audit cites the lens and its reason.
Checked while you design and at the PR.
Try options against your lenses before any code exists. See which pillar each option strains.
Agents read the same lenses while they write, so fewer findings reach review.
