The Execution Bottleneck
Engineering teams face a structural gap: the distance between knowing what to build and having hands on keyboards to build it. GLITCHLAB eliminates this gap by coordinating specialized AI agents under human supervision to execute well-defined work at scale.
It is not a copilot. It is not autocomplete. It is a deterministic orchestration system.
The Deterministic Pipeline
01 Index
Maps codebase structure, detects languages, and identifies packages.
02 Plan
Planner breaks tasks into surgical steps and assesses implementation risk.
03 Implement
Implementer writes code and tests inside an isolated git worktree.
04 Debug
Debugger diagnoses failures and applies minimal fixes automatically.
05 Security
Scans for unsafe patterns, credential leaks, and policy violations.
06 Release
Determines version impact and writes machine-generated changelogs.
07 Document
Captures design decisions as Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
08 Deliver
Pushes changes and opens a structured, human-ready Pull Request.
PPrelude Integration
GLITCHLAB ingests machine-readable context from Prelude. Agents understand your architecture, tech stack, and constraints before they plan, ensuring implementation follows your unique patterns instead of generic advice.
Explore Prelude →ZZephyr Governance
For high-stakes environments, GLITCHLAB leverages Zephyr for cryptographic provenance. Every planning event, tool invocation, and file edit becomes a signed record, producing verifiable proof of agentic behavior.

Local-First
Runs entirely on your machine. No cloud dependency. No infra burn. Costs only API tokens to operate.
Vendor Agnostic
Route work to Gemini, Claude, or any model via LiteLLM without agents knowing the vendor.
Bounded Autonomy
Five human intervention gates ensure you stay in control of budgets, paths, and PR creation.
Ship Clean.
GLITCHLAB is a leverage tool for builders. It compounds capability locally, under your governance, at token cost.
