Governed by scope
Every run starts with a bounded agreement about the goal, done criteria, budget, and permitted change type.
CE wraps the software lifecycle around agents.
A coding agent is powerful execution. Creator Engine supplies the operating model around it: scope, delegated seats, containment, validation, and a human-readable trail.
Built by seats
Specialized agent seats can explore, implement, verify, or review while staying inside their assigned authority.
Graded from outside
The acceptance path checks evidence, test output, diffs, and constraints from outside the agent that produced the work.
Architecture at a glance
Controller, seats, forge, and containment form one governed loop.
The controller plans and dispatches. Seats execute bounded roles. The forge keeps work visible and reviewable. Containment limits what each run can touch.
ControllerCoordinates work and keeps approval at the right level.
SeatsExecute role-specific work with scoped authority.
ForgeTurns activity into visible claims, diffs, reviews, and records.
ContainmentBounds files, credentials, network, and privileged actions.
The operating loop stays small and inspectable.
CE is not a black-box app generator. It is a repeatable delivery loop for turning intent into a reviewed software change.
Frame
Capture intent and decide what good looks like.
Shape
Bind the goal, done criteria, budget, and change type.
Build
Dispatch bounded seats to produce changes and evidence.
Review
Check the result from outside the producing agent.
Ship
Land only the work that passes the ratified gate.
