Unreviewed change
Agents ship code that no one independently checked, and “done” arrives without evidence.
REPOSITORY CONTEXT AUDITS & ONBOARDING
Context and governance for coding agents. Built around your codebase.
Start with a repository context audit. Then set up project knowledge, working rules, and independent review through scoped onboarding that preserves your code, tools, and conventions.
Opens an email draft. Nothing is sent until you send it. No booking or payment on this site.

Coding agents are already in your engineering org. Are they under control?
Adoption is easy. Governing it across repositories, teams, and tools is where AI programs stall.
Wasted spend
Teams re-explain the same project context every session, and paid agent effort goes to rework.
Inconsistent tooling
Each team and each coding tool runs its own rules, so no one can say how agents are governed.
No accountability
When something goes wrong, there is no clear owner, approval point, or audit trail.
WHAT YOU GET
Control, accountability, and consistency for every coding agent you run.
Delivered as plain files in your repository that your team can read and change. We bring the method; you keep the result.
Every change independently reviewed
A separate reviewer checks agent work before it is accepted. Authors do not approve their own changes, and rework is bounded before a person steps in.
Your people stay in charge
Clear rules say what agents may change on their own and what waits for an owner: merges, releases, migrations, and anything risky.
Proof, not promises
“Done” means recorded checks. Anything untested is labelled unverified, so leadership can see what was actually verified.
Context your agents stop re-learning
Durable project knowledge, organized with Open Knowledge Format (OKF) as linked, focused Markdown documents behind an index, so context is written down once and sourced.
One standard across teams and tools
Shared rules for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Copilot instead of diverging copies. We confirm what each tool actually loads in your setup.
Right-sized, no lock-in
The smallest set of agent roles your project needs, with existing agents and instructions kept, merged, or retired explicitly. Your repository works without us afterward.
Written rules guide agents; your tools and access controls enforce permissions. We do not promise automatic agent compliance or performance gains.
BUILT FOR THE NEXT SESSION
A setup your team can keep using
Governed onboarding turns the approved audit plan into a working setup, with these outcomes scoped and agreed before implementation.
Resume work with context
Keep decisions, unfinished work, and the next step together, so the next session has a clear starting point. An agreed restart check shows what can be recovered.
Knowledge you can check
Find useful project facts through a knowledge index, with links to their sources. Uncertain or conflicting information stays visible until it is resolved.
Checks in the tools you use
Observe agreed workflows in your chosen coding-agent tools. Record what loaded, what ran, and any limits; a file being present does not prove a tool used it.
A practical handover
Walk through resuming a task, updating project knowledge, and repeating the agreed checks. Your team keeps the files and guidance to maintain the setup.
Verification covers the agreed workflows, tool versions, and settings. Untested behavior stays unverified; future tool or model changes may need fresh checks.
HOW AN ENGAGEMENT WORKS
You see every step. Nothing changes without your approval.
- 01
Discover
We study your code, existing instructions, decisions, and workflows, and report what is there, what is stale, and what conflicts.
You receive an evidence-backed findings report.
- 02
Propose
A concrete plan: knowledge structure, working rules, review and approval points, and agent roles, staged to preserve your code, tools, and conventions.
You approve the plan before any change.
- 03
Implement and verify
We apply the approved stages in your repository. An independent review checks the result against agreed acceptance criteria.
You see what was checked and what remains uncertain.
- 04
Hand over
Your team owns everything, with guidance on keeping knowledge current as the project changes. No dependency on us or our tooling.
You keep all of it.
ENGAGEMENTS
Start with an audit. Go further when it is worth it.
STEP ONE
Context and governance audit
From $2,500
One repository snapshot, one coding-agent environment, and up to three workflows.
- Context inventory of instructions, knowledge, and workflows
- Evidence-backed findings report with a governance scorecard
- Prioritized remediation plan with acceptance checks
- Technical review session with your team
Objective deliverables guarantee. If a core agreed deliverable is missing or fails its written acceptance criterion and we cannot correct it within 5 business days of notice, we refund the audit fee. It is not a satisfaction or performance guarantee. Read the terms

Governed onboarding
Scoped quote
The audit, then we put the approved plan in place in your repository.
- Task notes that preserve decisions, unfinished work, and the next step
- Source-linked knowledge base and knowledge index using OKF, with uncertainty and conflicts visible
- Scoped working rules and an approval and review map
- Right-sized specialist agent roles
- Shared instructions and observed checks of agreed workflows in your chosen coding-agent tools, with limits recorded
- Independent review pass with recorded evidence
- Practical handover: resume a task, update knowledge, and repeat agreed checks
Quoted after the audit from the agreed scope, under a separate written agreement.
Discuss onboardingNO LOCK-IN
Your repository. Your rules. Your result.
You own everything
Code, knowledge, and rules live as plain files in your repository. You keep the delivered work.
Nothing left behind
After handover, your repository runs without RepoChicken files, services, or tooling.
Your stack, preserved
Existing code, tools, and conventions stay. Changes happen in stages you approve.
SEE THE FORMAT
Know where you stand before you invest.
The audit gives your leadership a clear read on how your coding agents are governed today, with prioritized next steps and acceptance checks. The sample shows the format.
Illustrative example: fictional scenarios, not a completed audit or proof of results.
Open the illustrative sampleQUESTIONS
Before you write.
Which coding-agent tools do you support?
Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot. Each tool loads instructions differently, so we confirm what your exact setup actually reads during scoping.
What does the audit include?
A context inventory, an evidence-backed findings report, a prioritized remediation plan with acceptance checks, and a technical review session, covering one repository snapshot, one coding-agent environment, and up to three workflows.
How is pricing set?
The standard audit is USD 2,500 for the stated scope. Larger scopes and onboarding are quoted from agreed scope. The full invoice is due after both parties accept a written agreement and before work begins. No payment is taken on this website.
What access do you need?
Read-only access or an agreed export of one repository snapshot, agreed in writing before work begins. Please do not email private code or credentials in an inquiry.
Do you promise faster or better agent results?
No. We deliver agreed work against objective acceptance criteria. Agent behavior depends on models, tools, and settings that change, so we record what was tested and what remains uncertain instead of promising performance gains.
Is the sample a real client audit?
No. The sample is an illustrative example with fictional scenarios and snippets, not a completed audit or proof of results.
