Metis
The meta-harness that orchestrates AI coding agents - deterministic dispatch, scope as a contract, cross-vendor review, enforced by exit codes instead of hope.
The challenge
Using multiple coding agents introduces coordination work: sequencing tasks, enforcing scope and deciding when an output is ready to progress. Metis makes those responsibilities part of the orchestration process.
What I built
A meta-harness orchestrates AI coding agents with deterministic dispatch, scope as a contract and cross-vendor review. Exit codes enforce the workflow, making progression depend on explicit outcomes.
The human role
People retain planning, escalation and release decisions. Agent coordination supports those decisions with reviewed, verified work.
Current status
Metis is in use by developers. The design centres on making multi-agent development more controlled and inspectable.
