AI-assisted software lifecycle tools with multi-agent orchestration, state management, and work tracking integration

Trustable AI

An AI-assisted software lifecycle framework featuring multi-agent orchestration, state management, work tracking integration, and zero-trust tool integration. Build real software projects reliably with Claude Code.

Overview

Trustable AI provides a sophisticated system for managing AI-assisted software development workflows. It coordinates specialized AI agents to handle complex development tasks while maintaining context, state, and integration with your work tracking platform.

Key Capabilities:

• Multi-agent orchestration with 13 specialized agents
• Re-entrant workflows with state persistence
• Re-entrant initialization (update settings without re-entering everything)
• Hierarchical context management with auto-generated CLAUDE.md files
• Integration with Azure DevOps, file-based tracking (Jira/GitHub planned)
• Skills system for reusable capabilities
• Learnings capture for institutional knowledge

Installation

pip install trustable-ai

With Azure DevOps support:

pip install trustable-ai[azure]

For development:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Quick Start

Initialize in Your Project

cd your-project/
trustable-ai init

The interactive init wizard will:

1. Prompt for project information (name, type, tech stack)
2. Configure your work tracking platform
3. Create .claude/ directory structure
4. Let you select which agents to enable (by number, 'all', or keep defaults)
5. Optionally render agents and workflows to .claude/
6. Optionally generate hierarchical CLAUDE.md context files

Re-entrant: Running trustable-ai init again loads existing values as defaults, so you can update individual settings without re-entering everything.

Non-Interactive Mode

# Initialize with all defaults
trustable-ai init --no-interactive

Agent and Workflow Management

# List available agents
trustable-ai agent list

# Enable agents (individually or all at once)
trustable-ai agent enable senior-engineer
trustable-ai agent enable all

# Render all enabled agents to .claude/agents/
trustable-ai agent render-all

# Also render agent slash commands to .claude/commands/
trustable-ai agent render-all --with-commands

# Or render commands separately
trustable-ai agent render-commands

# Render workflows to .claude/commands/
trustable-ai workflow render-all

# Validate your setup
trustable-ai validate

Use with Claude Code

After rendering, use the slash commands in Claude Code:

• /sprint-planning - Plan your sprint with multi-agent orchestration
• /daily-standup - Generate daily standup reports
• /backlog-grooming - Review and prioritize backlog items
• /senior-engineer - Invoke the senior engineer agent with fresh context
• /software-developer - Invoke the developer agent with fresh context

Features

Multi-Agent System (13 Agents)

Agent	Description	Model
business-analyst	Requirements analysis, business value scoring	sonnet
project-architect	Technical architecture, risk assessment	opus
security-specialist	Security review, vulnerability analysis	sonnet
senior-engineer	Task breakdown, estimation, code review	sonnet
software-developer	Feature implementation, bug fixes	sonnet
qa-engineer	Test planning, quality validation	sonnet
devops-developer	CI/CD, infrastructure automation	sonnet
scrum-master	Sprint coordination, workflow management	sonnet

Workflow Templates

• sprint-planning - Complete sprint planning automation
• sprint-execution - Sprint progress monitoring
• sprint-completion - Sprint closure and retrospectives
• sprint-retrospective - Retrospective analysis
• backlog-grooming - Backlog refinement
• daily-standup - Daily standup reports
• dependency-management - Dependency analysis and tracking
• workflow-resume - Resume incomplete workflows from within Claude Code
• context-generation - Guided CLAUDE.md hierarchy creation

Hierarchical Context Generation

Trustable AI can automatically generate hierarchical CLAUDE.md files for your codebase:

# Preview what would be generated
trustable-ai context generate --dry-run

# Generate CLAUDE.md files (skips existing)
trustable-ai context generate

# Force overwrite existing files
trustable-ai context generate --force

# Limit depth of directory traversal
trustable-ai context generate --depth 2

# Build searchable context index
trustable-ai context index

# Look up relevant context for a task
trustable-ai context lookup "implement user authentication"

Context generation creates:

• Root CLAUDE.md with project overview and structure
• Directory-level CLAUDE.md for src/, tests/, docs/, etc.
• Module-level CLAUDE.md for significant subdirectories
• .claude/context-index.yaml for fast keyword-based lookups

State Management

Workflows maintain state for re-entrancy:

• Resume from last checkpoint on failure
• Prevent duplicate work on retry
• Track created work items
• Persist errors with context

Resume from within Claude Code:

/workflow-resume

This will:

1. Scan for incomplete workflows
2. Show status, progress, and age of each
3. Let you select which to resume
4. Automatically continue from the last checkpoint

Or use the CLI:

# View workflow states
trustable-ai state list

# Resume interrupted workflow (outputs instructions)
trustable-ai state resume sprint-planning-sprint-10

Skills System

Reusable capabilities for common tasks:

• Azure DevOps operations (enhanced CLI, bulk operations)
• Context loading and optimization
• Learnings capture
• Cross-repo coordination

Learnings Capture

Capture institutional knowledge from development sessions:

trustable-ai learnings capture
trustable-ai learnings list
trustable-ai learnings archive

Configuration

The trustable-ai init command creates .claude/config.yaml in your project. You can also create it manually:

Work Tracking Platforms

Azure DevOps

# Configure Azure DevOps
trustable-ai configure azure-devops

# Ensure you've logged in

File-Based (Zero Dependency)

For projects without external work tracking:

trustable-ai configure file-based

Tasks are stored in .claude/tasks/ as YAML files.

Architecture

.claude/
  config.yaml           # Main configuration

  workflow-state/       # Execution state (re-entrancy)

  learnings/            # Session learnings
  context-index.yaml    # Searchable context index
  tasks/                # File-based task tracking

  CLAUDE.md             # Root context file
  src/
    CLAUDE.md           # Source code context
  tests/
    CLAUDE.md           # Test suite context

Hierarchical Context

Trustable AI uses hierarchical CLAUDE.md files to provide maximal context with minimal tokens:

• Root CLAUDE.md for project overview
• Module-level CLAUDE.md for specific areas
• Auto-generated context index for smart loading
• Use trustable-ai context generate to create the hierarchy automatically
