Keep the goal straight
Design goal: the goal, decisions and what "done" means should survive each handoff between models.
The Atlas systemOverview
What Atlas is
Not another agent.
The one that coordinates them.
Atlas is designed so that you give it a goal and it plans the work, hands parts to the right AI models, has the result checked, and brings it back to you to accept, with a record of everything that happened.
01 / How it holds togetherThree jobs
One mission.
Three jobs.
Ask before acting
Design goal: anything consequential is checked against what Atlas is allowed to do before it happens.
Each agent has a defined role and a list of commands it's allowed to run.
Keep the receipts
Design goal: who did what, with which model, and what checked it, kept in one history you can inspect.
A record of what shipped is kept by the team today; Atlas keeping that record itself is planned.
02 / RolesPlain names
Who does
what.
Plans
Turns your request into a plan you approve.
Build
Several models work in parallel.
Checks
A separate reviewer checks the change.
Supplies models
In testing: we're testing Hermes to bring in local and open models on demand.
Example mission
How a mission flows.
Everything about one mission stays in one place. The team thread shows each step as it happens, and, in the design, you can message the planner, a builder or the reviewer directly.
03 / IntegrationsWhat it connects to
What Atlas
runs on today.
Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Grok
On Atlas's own work, builders and reviewers come from different providers, assigned per task. Model · effort: the Codex lane is routed by model and effort for each task, and each review records the model and effort requested and observed. Showing model and effort on every assignment is planned.
GitHub
Atlas's own work lands through GitHub pull requests, tested by GitHub Actions CI.
Issue tracker
Atlas tracks its own work in Linear. Starting missions from your issues is planned.

04 / StatusHonest status
Where it
stands.
Atlas is in development.
The coordination core is being built and tested on Atlas's own code. Running a full mission without hand-holding is the next milestone. What's on this page describes how the system is designed to work. The mission thread above is an example.
