unified-controlplane 0.1.1

AI Control Plane for orchestrating models, memory, and evaluation

Unified

An AI Control Plane for orchestrating models, memory, and evaluation across your projects.

What is This?

Unified is infrastructure for AI-assisted development. Instead of hardcoding model choices and losing context between sessions, unified provides:

• Registry - Catalog of available models, tools, and skills
• Router - Selects the right model based on task type and constraints
• Memory - Persistent storage for decisions, patterns, and project knowledge
• Evaluator - Quality gates that validate AI output against checklists
• Audit Log - Complete record of routing decisions and evaluations

See docs/concepts.md for the full mental model.

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/youruser/unified.git
cd unified

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Coming soon: pip install unified-controlplane

Quick Start

# Check system status
python src/cli.py status

# Route a task to the appropriate model
python src/cli.py route "Generate unit tests for user authentication" --type code

# Run full control plane loop (dry run with mock output)
python src/cli.py dry-run "Refactor the payment module" --type code --role lead

# Run with real model (requires API key)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here
python src/cli.py run "Explain this error message" --type analysis

CLI Reference

route

Select the appropriate model for a task without executing.

python src/cli.py route "task description" [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --type TEXT        Task type: code, review, documentation, architecture, analysis
  --role TEXT        Role: lead, reviewer, advisor
  -c, --constraint   Constraints: low-cost, fast, high-accuracy, local-only
  --dry-run          Show decision without executing

run

Execute the full control plane loop with real model output.

python src/cli.py run "task description" [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --type TEXT        Task type (default: code)
  --role TEXT        Role (default: lead)
  -c, --constraint   Constraints (can specify multiple)
  --model TEXT       Override model selection

dry-run

Execute full loop with mock output (for testing workflows).

python src/cli.py dry-run "task description" [OPTIONS]

status

Display control plane status: registry contents, memory stats, audit log info.

python src/cli.py status [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --check-health    Verify model availability (may be slow)

evaluate

Run quality checklists against output.

python src/cli.py evaluate [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --file PATH        File containing output to evaluate
  --task-type TEXT   Task type for checklist selection
  --task-brief TEXT  Brief description for alignment checks
  -c, --checklist    Specific checklist(s) to run

config-validate

Validate registry configuration.

python src/cli.py config-validate [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --path TEXT    Path to registry.yaml (default: configs/registry.yaml)

Configuration

Registry (configs/registry.yaml)
