THE ACCOUNTABLE CODING HARNESS

Ship code with
proof attached.

Orchentra coordinates the models, specialist agents, checks, and browser work behind one verifiable coding run.

THE MOTIVE

Models can write code. Orchentra makes the entire run accountable.

THE PROBLEM

A capable model is not
an accountable system.

Without a harness, execution, delegation, and proof drift apart.

×WITHOUT ORCHENTRA
  • ×One general-purpose agent owns every decision
  • ×Subtasks lose budget, lineage, and run context
  • ×Exit codes are mistaken for product correctness
  • ×Browser verification is optional or manual
  • ×Long runs collapse into an uncheckable recap
  • ×Parallel work can spread beyond its real limits
WITH ORCHENTRA
  • Specialist roles with explicit authority
  • Shared budgets and durable child transcripts
  • Tests, builds, and browser evidence gate completion
  • Real browser operation with deterministic waits
  • Linked traces preserve the complete evidence chain
  • Local-first, BYOK, zero database, no telemetry

THE SYSTEM

Everything required to turn
a request into verified work.

01

Unified Harness

Keep planning, edits, delegated work, checks, browser state, and the final completion decision in one accountable run.

02

Model Profiles

Adapt prompt structure, edit dialect, tool vocabulary, and continuation behavior to the model family doing the work.

03

Context Engine

Preserve trust-boundary messages and live evidence while compacting only the context that is safe to replace.

ONE ACCOUNTABLE RUN

Launch a coding crew in minutes.

04

Browser Verification

Start the application, operate the rendered product, and surface console or network failures from a real Chromium session.

05

Completion Gates

Keep verifiable work open until its declared checks run and the evidence supports the completion claim.

06

Sub-Agent Runtime

Fan out bounded, independent work while retaining shared budgets, role restrictions, durable state, and parent-child traces.

OUTCOME FIRST

Describe the finish line, not every keystroke.

Orchentra reads the repository, selects a bounded execution path, and keeps the completion contract attached to the work.

MODEL AWARE

One standard of proof. Provider-specific execution.

Prompt structure, edit behavior, tools, and continuation adapt to the model family without changing what “complete” means.

QUICK START

From install to evidence
in three clear moves.

011. Install

Install The Harness

Add Orchentra globally, open the repository you want to change, and bring the provider credentials you already control.

022. Describe

Describe The Outcome

State the result you need. Orchentra reads repository instructions, dirty state, scripts, and architecture before work begins.

033. Verify

Run Until Proven

The harness plans, delegates, edits, executes checks, operates the browser when relevant, and returns the evidence chain.

THE RUN LIFECYCLE

Every stage visible.
Every handoff explicit.

Start With The Repository

Load instructions, scripts, architecture, worktree state, and existing conventions before deciding what the task requires.

BUILT ON CONTRACTS

Trust comes from
how the system behaves.

A passing edit is not a finished product. The rendered behavior gets a vote.
01

Browser evidenceVerification contract

Every specialist receives only the tools and authority required by its role.
02

Constrained delegationSub-agent contract

The final answer points back to checks and artifacts instead of asking for trust.
03

Inspectable proofTrace contract

Children draw from the parent run. Parallel work never invents a hidden budget.
04

Shared ceilingsBudget contract

Provider choice changes execution strategy without changing the completion standard.
05

Model awarenessRuntime contract

Sessions, traces, credentials, and the working repository remain under local control.
06

Local ownershipProduct contract

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before your first run.

Orchentra is a model-aware coding harness that coordinates specialist agents, runs the real checks, operates the rendered product when relevant, and preserves the evidence behind completion.

READY WHEN YOUR REPOSITORY IS
