Keel

Agentic SDLC Engine

Plan, execute, and verify software development with clear quality gates before every handoff.

Highlights

→Turn-based board engine for human/AI delivery teams — treats software development as a high-fidelity operating system where Formal Rules are the physics and Turns are the unit of progress.
→Role-based 2-lane pull model — management lane returns strategic decisions, delivery lane returns implementation work; keel next always requires an explicit --role.
→Ramping path — start as a Fixer (keel doctor), progress to Operator (keel turn), evolve into Architect (keel adr new) as comprehension deepens.
→ADR-governed formal rules — binding architecture decisions in .keel/adrs/ constrain how agents and operators execute, preventing structural drift.
→Discovery through Play — keel play --theater launches narrative exploration sessions to reduce planning fog before requirements are frozen.
→Full board health validation — keel doctor detects and fixes Scaffold Drift and Structural Drift with objective, engine-enforced invariants.
