Agentic Software Engineering
with operational discipline
ASE is the self-hosted control plane for defining, launching, supervising, governing, and reporting on multi-agent software engineering work. It turns a human-defined product goal into governed agentic delivery — with identity, approvals, versioned definitions, immutable audit trails, dashboards, and recovery paths.
Agentic work demands operational seriousness
A handful of agents loose against a codebase is not software engineering. ASE brings to agentic delivery what regulated workflow automation brought to business operations: identity and access boundaries, versioned definitions, approvals, immutable audit, evidence reporting, dashboards, and recovery paths.
ASE is not a prompt chain runner. It sits above your code-intelligence providers, your live coordination service, your graph evidence store, and your model-specific coding agents — and gives the engineering lead one product surface for the full lifecycle of an agent constellation working on a real codebase.
What ASE owns
- Project & problem definition — guided, LLM-assisted intake captured as versioned definitions.
- Design elaboration — architecture, interface, and compliance plans, version-tracked.
- Compliance control matrix — mapped to your regulatory regime, with exception/approval workflows.
- Agent constellation configuration — capability inventory, launch profiles, work distribution policy.
- Live orchestration dashboards — claims, leases, gates, branches, work items, failures, compliance state.
- Change control — human approval gates around merges and exceptions.
- Tamper-evident audit — immutable evidence and compliance reports you can hand to auditors.
What ASE delegates
- Identity to Keycloak — OIDC, MFA, passkeys.
- Live claim arbitration to CLAiR — leases, blackboard, gate enforcement.
- Code intelligence to the Planning service (Bo by default) — decompositions, validation plans, ACOP artifacts.
- Durable graph evidence to CLAiR Graph powered by BogDB.
- Model-specific code editing to the agents themselves — Codex, Claude, Gemini, your local workers.
Each authority boundary is a contract, not a black box — you can swap providers without rewriting your control plane.
A realistic first slice
The first useful ASE slice lets an operator stand up a small agent constellation against a single repository — with the controls and evidence you'd expect for production work.
- Define a software system or problem through a guided, LLM-assisted interface.
- Produce versioned problem, compliance, and constellation definitions.
- Connect to your CLAiR Keycloak realm, CLAiR coordination service, Planning provider, and CLAiR Graph (BogDB) store.
- Launch a small agent constellation against one repository.
- Observe live claims, leases, work state, and failures in real time.
- Export an audit and compliance report for the run.

Why self-hosted
Your source code, your compliance posture, your identity authority. ASE deploys inside your network alongside the rest of your engineering stack — no agentic activity, evidence, or definitions leave your perimeter unless you choose to export them.
For regulated workloads, this is not a nice-to-have. Auditors need to see who approved what, what evidence was captured, and what the agent constellation actually did — with the same trust model you already apply to humans on the same codebase.
Bring agentic delivery into your engineering org — without losing control
ASE is in active development at Beyond Ordinary. If you're trying to operationalize coding agents against a real, regulated codebase — with the controls your engineering and compliance teams expect — let's talk about early access and integration.
