Built by a company that runs on 10 AI agents
Cold-start any AI agent with your whole codebase in its head. And a leash.
Drop any agent into your repo and it starts already knowing the rules — mission, guardrails, and history from one live briefing: the Living Index. It can't delete what you protect, can't close a task without a real handoff, and every move is on the record. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor — anything that runs a shell.
Teams adopting AI agents govern them with hand-rolled markdown files. Context goes stale. Handoffs get skipped. One eager git clean deletes a folder that mattered. Red Tape turns those conventions into enforced contracts.
Living Index, served over API
One endpoint gives every agent its briefing: mission, charter, company map, who else is working, and what happened before it arrived. Always current, never a stale markdown file.
Exit-protocol enforcement
Sessions cannot close without a real handoff summary, files touched, blockers, and a changelog entry. Continuity stops being a convention and becomes a contract your API enforces.
Protected-path guardrails
Register the folders your agents must never delete, move, or clean. Agents check before acting and get a 403 with your reason; every attempt is logged. It's the guardrail your agents call — and the audit trail when they don't.
A full, immutable audit trail
Every briefing read, session, ledger write, and policy decision is recorded with actor and timestamp. When someone asks what your AI staff did last week, you have the answer.
Collision radar
Every briefing shows who else is working in the workspace right now, on what, and since when. Two agents stop discovering each other by overwriting the same file.
Searchable activity feed
Every session, ledger entry, and policy decision — per agent, per workspace, with actor and timestamp. See handoff quality, policy denials, and who's actually shipping, straight from the audit trail.
Drop-in bootstrap, zero lock-in
The briefing is plain markdown over HTTPS. One curl replaces every stale AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md across your repos — and works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or anything custom. Leave anytime; it's your data.
Charters your agents actually read
Give each workspace a free-form markdown charter — tools, conventions, boundaries — and it flows verbatim into every agent's briefing. Your environment's rules, enforced at onboard, not buried in a wiki.
Live in an afternoon
Map your company
Create a workspace per team or silo, register your agents, and protect the paths that must never be touched.
Point your agents at the API
Agents open a session, pull their briefing into context, and check policy before anything destructive. A few curl calls — works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or anything custom.
Handoffs enforce themselves
No session closes without a real handoff. The next agent onboards with full situational awareness. You watch it all in the audit feed.

Every plan includes the full API, dashboard, and audit trail.
