Work with your coding agent. Keep the project in control.

Say what you want in normal language. Skopos gives the conversation reliable project context, a real work boundary, approved actions, proof, and a path into the next Session.

THE SIMPLE MODELYou discuss and decide.Your agent reasons and writes code.Skopos keeps the project coherent.
EVERYDAY WORK

Start with what you want to accomplish.

Each path shows a natural prompt and the project responsibility Skopos keeps stable behind it.

01

Ask what is happening in the project

Return after time away without replaying old conversations or loading the whole repository.

Bring me up to speed. Show active work, material decisions, recent proof, and the next safe action.
SKOPOS HANDLES

Skopos selects the current Task and the Project Memory relevant to it.

See the return workflow
02

Plan and build one feature

Carry one outcome from the first discussion through bounded implementation, proof, and Memory review.

Help me build this feature. Recover relevant project truth, clarify meaningful decisions, and bound the work before editing.
SKOPOS HANDLES

Skopos keeps intent, ownership, checks, Evidence, and closure connected.

Follow the complete feature guide
03

Record a decision that should last

Keep a product or architecture choice available after the conversation ends.

Record this accepted decision in its canonical project owner. Keep the reasoning and consequences, and do not duplicate existing truth.
SKOPOS HANDLES

Skopos distinguishes durable Project Memory from temporary Task state and agent inference.

See how project truth is used
04

Start work with a real boundary

Turn an agreed outcome into observable acceptance, owned paths, constraints, and non-goals.

Create one bounded Task. Show me its acceptance criteria, narrowest owned paths, constraints, and non-goals before implementation.
SKOPOS HANDLES

Skopos protects the Task boundary and reports work that falls outside it.

See a bounded Task
05

Continue in a fresh Session

Move current work into a clean coding-agent conversation without pretending the handoff was delivered.

Prepare this active Task for a fresh Session. Preserve current intent and live project state, then show me the exact handoff before delivery.
SKOPOS HANDLES

Skopos verifies, renders, delivers or exposes a manual fallback, then binds the receiving Session.

Follow the fresh-Session guide
06

Split genuinely independent work

Give separate agents explicit child outcomes while the original conversation remains the reviewer.

Split only independent parts. Give each child acceptance and owned paths, and keep this conversation responsible for combined review.
SKOPOS HANDLES

Skopos coordinates child authority, path claims, dependencies, and parent closure.

See the coordination workflow
07

Prove the work before calling it done

Select the checks that match the changed paths and connect fresh Evidence to each promise.

Prepare this Task for closure. Run the required project checks and explain every missing, stale, or failed piece of Evidence.
SKOPOS HANDLES

Skopos attaches proof to source and reports Readiness without optimistic guessing.

See proof and Readiness
08

Keep Project Memory current

Review durable impact before finishing so the next agent learns the accepted result, not the old plan.

Review whether this work changed architecture, decisions, patterns, or operating rules. Update only the canonical owner when needed.
SKOPOS HANDLES

Skopos requires an attributed Memory review before Task closure.

See the Memory review
THE BOUNDARY

Skopos supports the conversation. It does not replace it.

  • Your coding agent still owns general reasoning and implementation.
  • You still approve decisions that change direction, risk, or public behavior.
  • Skopos protects project truth, Task intent, enforcement, recovery, and Evidence.
