bounded-autonomy

A bounded-autonomy architecture plugin harness for Claude Code and Codex

Give AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Codex) a structured autonomous loop with guardrails — boundaries, 5 verification gates, 3-layer self-reflection, and autonomous remediation. pip install ouro-loop. Zero dependencies.

Public proof surface of the ACE doctrine: bounded briefs with code-generated, inspectable receipts.

OCCP — OpenCloud Control Plane: Governance-first AI agent orchestration with Verified Autonomy Pipeline. Policy-gated, audit-logged, kill-switch protected. 14 MCP tools, 8 specialist agents, Telegram integration.

Bounded-autonomy orchestration system for building large, complex software with AI agents. No human in the core loop; escalation is intentional.

Proof of concept: a CPG trade-promotion deductions agent that adjudicates retailer claims with bounded autonomy — drafting (never executing) approve/deny/partial/escalate decisions with cited evidence, backed by an eval harness (ground-truth fixtures, graders, LLM judge, calibration gates) rigorous enough to trust on money.

A 29-hour field study of Ash operating Dwarf Fortress through bounded machine interfaces, and what happened when safety governance became backpressure.

Reference lab comparing LLM workflows and bounded agents through reproducible multi-provider benchmarks, grounding, epistemic evaluation, and explicit authority boundaries.

Go SDK for declarative, stateless-per-step automation against task-tracking systems. A flow is an ordinary Go binary; each invocation advances one tracked item. Pluggable backends, GitHub Issues out of the box.
