ctrlai

Verified, attested standard parts for AI coding agents — the agent writes only the seams.

Ctrl AI packages each product capability (transactional email, webhook ingestion, auth, billing, …) as a part: vendored code with a machine-readable contract, a conformance test suite every adapter must pass, and a continuously re-issued signed attestation. Parts are copied into your repo shadcn-style — you own every line, you can read every line, and a boundary guard makes sure nobody (human or agent) edits part interiors and silently voids the attestation.

Status: pre-v0

The hosted registry (registry.ctrlai.com) is live and serves the catalogue, so ctrlai add works out of the box. Attestations are dev-tier (unsigned; real signing is on the roadmap). Watch ctrlai.com for the public launch.

Commands

| Command | What it does | |---|---| | ctrlai init | Install the boundary guard (pre-commit + CI), parts.lock, and AGENTS.md rules | | ctrlai add <targets...> | Vendor parts, a pack, or part[@version][:adapter] specs — resolves order, pulls requires, skips installed. e.g. ctrlai add saas or ctrlai add email.transactional:postmark storage.upload | | ctrlai plan <capabilities...> | Resolve capabilities into a deterministic install plan (no changes made) | | ctrlai audit | Did the repo respect its contracts? Boundary + attestations + routes/env/sprawl in one pass | | ctrlai upgrade <part> | Upgrade a part's version and/or flip its adapter — you get only the seam changes | | ctrlai verify | Verify attestation integrity (hard fail) and freshness (warn; --strict to fail) | | ctrlai guard | Fail if parts/** no longer matches parts.lock | | ctrlai migrate | Apply pending part-owned database migrations |

A pack is a curated capability kit for a product shape — ctrlai add saas installs the whole Team-SaaS skeleton (auth, billing, email, webhooks, jobs, storage, rate limiting, audit, admin) in one command, resolving order and picking sensible default adapters.

The idea in one paragraph

Agents regenerate the same infrastructure on every project, slightly differently every time, unverified and unmaintained. Ctrl AI gives agents a catalog of standard parts they can trust and never regenerate: contracts erase the differences between vendors, conformance suites make adapter claims true, attestations expire so "verified" always means recently. The agent's job shrinks to the seams — the part of your product that should be different.
