 # feinai
 
-**Multi-agent development breaks down without coordination infrastructure.**
+Local coordination layer for multi‑agent coding workflows.
 
-Skills and prompts get agents started. They don't solve what happens when five agents run in parallel: stale state, token waste reading giant markdown files, tasks claimed twice, agents stepping on each other's work, no visibility into what's actually happening.
+When multiple coding agents work on the same repo, things break long before the model runs out of IQ: duplicated work, inconsistent task state, agents trampling each other's branches, and no clear visibility into what is happening where.
 
-feinai is the missing layer.
+**feinai** focuses on one thing: make that coordination deterministic, auditable, and safe for your git repo – locally, without a cloud service.
 
 ---
 
-## The problems it solves
+## Why feinai
 
-**Token waste.** Agents reading `QUEUE.md` or `BACKLOG.md` to find their next task burn context on irrelevant state. A 200-line plan file costs tokens every time — most of it noise for any given agent. feinai gives each agent exactly what it needs in a single call.
+Multi‑agent development breaks down without coordination infrastructure. Skills and prompts get agents started, but they do not solve the ugly parts of running several agents in parallel:
 
-**Inconsistent task state.** Two agents claim the same task. One overwrites the other's work. You find out when the merge fails. feinai's `take` is an atomic SQL operation — if two agents race, one wins and one gets rejected. No duplicates, no silent overwrites.
-
-**No isolation.** Agents sharing a branch corrupt each other's work mid-task. feinai-dispatch puts every agent in its own git worktree, linked to a specific task, visible in the dashboard. Work is isolated until it's ready to merge.
-
-**Zero visibility.** You don't know which agent is doing what, which files it touched, how long it's been running, or whether it's stuck. The feinai dashboard shows all of this live.
-
-**Skill-based approaches hit a ceiling.** Skills and prompt instructions are probabilistic — the model can ignore them, misinterpret them, or hallucinate state. Deterministic coordination requires a tool, not a suggestion. feinai makes the workflow atomic, auditable, and race-free at the infrastructure level.

 ## What feinai is
 
-A CLI + HTTP API + dashboard that serves as the single source of truth for multi-agent development workflows.
+feinai is a **CLI + HTTP API + dashboard** that acts as the single source of truth for multi‑agent development workflows on a git repo.
+
+It manages four core primitives:
+
+- **Specs** – what to build and why.
+- **Plans** – how to build it.
+- **Tasks** – atomic units of work, with dependencies, quality gates, and worktree links.
+- **Events** – append‑only audit log of every state change.
 
-- **Specs** — what to build and why
-- **Plans** — how to build it
-- **Tasks** — atomic units of work, with dependencies, quality gates, and worktree links
-- **Dashboard** — live view of every agent, every worktree, every file being touched
+Agents never read raw Markdown queues. They ask feinai for work:
 
-```bash
+```sh
 feinai take TASK-121-A
 # → {id, subject, description, workplan, packages, quality_gates, worktree, ...}
 # One call. Everything the agent needs. Nothing it doesn't.
 ```
 
-State lives in a local SQLite file. No cloud, no server, no account.
+State lives in a local SQLite file. No cloud, no external service, no account.

-## Install
+## Core concepts
 
-Requires [Bun](https://bun.sh) 1.3+.
+- **Specs**  
+  High‑level product requirements: why a feature exists and what "done" means. Specs link to plans and tasks.
 
-```bash
-bun install -g feinai
-```
+- **Plans**  
+  Versioned implementation plans for a spec. A plan explains how to build it – steps, trade‑offs, constraints.
 
-Installs two binaries: `feinai` and `opengit` (safe git wrapper for parallel worktrees).
+- **Tasks**  
+  Atomic units of work with:
+  - An ID (`TASK-001-A`)
+  - Subject and description
+  - Optional `blocked_by` dependencies
+  - `quality_gates` (commands/tests that must pass)
+  - A dedicated git worktree path
 
-### PATH setup
+- **Events**  
+  Append‑only log of everything that happens: `{parent_process}:{pid}:{user}`, timestamps, transitions. Every mutation to specs, plans, tasks or worktrees is recorded.
 
-Works out of the box in interactive terminals and for local AI agents (Claude Code, opencode).
+- **Worktrees**  
+  Each task gets its own git worktree. Agents commit and push from there. The main branch stays clean until the work is ready to integrate.
 
-**Non-interactive SSH sessions only** (e.g. `ssh host 'feinai status'`) need a one-time fix:
+---
 
-```bash
-sudo ln -sf ~/.bun/bin/feinai /usr/local/bin/feinai
-sudo ln -sf ~/.bun/bin/opengit /usr/local/bin/opengit
-sudo ln -sf ~/.bun/bin/bun /usr/local/bin/bun
-```
+## Runtime & footprint
+
+- Implemented on top of **Bun 1.3+**.
+- Installs two binaries:
+  - `feinai` – main CLI + embedded HTTP server and dashboard.
+  - `opengit` – safe git wrapper for parallel worktrees.
+- Stores all state in a single SQLite file: `.tasca/tasca.db`, discovered by walking up from the current directory (like `.git`).
 
-### Activate Claude Code skills
+No background services are required beyond the optional dashboard server.
+
+---
 
-```bash
+## Supply chain & safety
+
+feinai is designed to be "boring" infrastructure:
+
+- **Local‑only state.** All coordination lives in `.tasca/tasca.db` in your repo. There is no remote backend.
+- **Explicit operations.** Every change to specs, plans, tasks and worktrees goes through the CLI or HTTP API and is logged in `events`.
+- **Safe git workflow.** `feinai git` wraps git and blocks operations that can corrupt parallel worktrees (branch, checkout, merge, rebase, reset, fetch, pull, clone).
+- **Auditability.** Every task has a clear chain: spec → plan → task → worktree → events. Every agent identity can be traced (`$FEINAI_USER` override supported).
+
+---
+
+## Using feinai with coding agents
+
+feinai is built to sit **under** coding agents (Claude Code, pi‑style harnesses, etc.) as a coordination layer.
+
+A typical pattern:
+
+1. Human or design agent writes a spec and plan.
+2. feinai decomposes the plan into tasks with dependencies and quality gates.
+3. Worker agents:
+   - Call `feinai take` to claim a task atomically.
+   - Work in the dedicated worktree for that task.
+   - Run quality gates (tests, linters, typechecks).
+   - Mark the task as `done` or `fail` with a structured result.
+4. A human (or integration agent) reviews and merges.
+
+Agents don't parse `QUEUE.md`. They talk to a small local coordination service instead.
+

+| `feinai-write-tasks`| Decomposes a plan into atomic tasks with parallelism   |

+Together they cover: design → spec → plan → tasks → parallel execution → merge.

+### PATH setup (non‑interactive SSH)
+
+In interactive shells and for local agents (Claude Code, opencode) it should work out of the box.
+
+For non‑interactive SSH sessions (e.g. `ssh host 'feinai status'`), you may need a one‑time setup:

+```sh
+sudo ln -sf ~/.bun/bin/feinai /usr/local/bin/feinai
+sudo ln -sf ~/.bun/bin/opengit /usr/local/bin/opengit

+# Initialize local state
 feinai init              # creates .tasca/tasca.db, adds to .gitignore

 ## `feinai git`
 
-Safe git wrapper that enforces worktree-only workflow. Blocks operations that break parallel work:
+`feinai git` is a safety wrapper around git for parallel worktrees.
+
+Allowed operations include:
 
-```bash
+```sh
 feinai git worktree add .worktrees/TASK-001 origin/main
-feinai git add . && feinai git commit -m "feat: ..."
+feinai git add .
+feinai git commit -m "feat: ..."
 feinai git push origin HEAD:main
 feinai git complete   # sync main after push
 ```
 
-Blocked: `branch`, `checkout`, `merge`, `rebase`, `reset`, `fetch`, `pull`, `clone`.
+The following are blocked when they would break the parallel workflow:
+
+- `branch`
+- `checkout`
+- `merge`
+- `rebase`
+- `reset`
+- `fetch`
+- `pull`
+- `clone`
+
+Use your normal git tooling inside each worktree; use `feinai git` when operating on shared branches.
