Macro 3D Playbook court with an AI agent paused at a human approval gate.
Agent Foundation One role · one job · your repository

You started the agent. We’ll get one useful job working.

Bring an idea, prototype, or stalled agent project. We build one useful job in your GitHub repository, then Codex helps you make the next change. The rules, tests, and runbook stay with you.

  • Scope 1 role · 1 job
  • Ownership Your repository
  • Handoff You make the next change

The handoff

Inside your repository.

We define the job, build it, and prove the handoff. You receive the working path and the records needed to understand what the agent can do.

Ownership and production

What works at handoff—and what going live adds.

You keep the repository and everything needed to understand it: source, schemas, instructions, policies, tests, runbook, known limits, and project history. No hidden CREATE SOMETHING account or undocumented credential is required for the agreed development environment.

Agent Foundation

One job works in the agreed development environment.

  • The repository includes the source, rules, tests, and runbook.
  • Working, blocked, unknown, and next states stay visible.
  • You complete one change with Codex before handoff.
Production Promotion

Going live is a separate project.

  • Production credentials, bindings, and data migration
  • Deployment, rollback, monitoring, and recovery
  • Live integration checks and real-user verification

We quote the Foundation after we review the project and agree on the job. Production credentials, deployment, live writes, monitoring, and real-user acceptance require a separately scoped Production Promotion.

Foundation fit

Bring your repository and one job for the agent.

On the call, we’ll agree on the first useful job. If there’s a fit, you leave with the proposed scope and the basis for a quote.

Book a Foundation fit call If the role is still unclear, we may recommend mapping the job first.
