A governed multi-agent harness that turns a Claude Code workspace into a small engineering organization: 28 agents with bounded ownership, 116 skills routed through repeatable workflows, 26 hook files enforcing control gates, and 15 path-scoped rules. Work moves through a DEFINE, PLAN, BUILD, VERIFY, REVIEW, SHIP lifecycle with verification gates and tiered persistent memory. Installs into an existing repo via a PowerShell script; Codex is supported through an adapter layer.
