Turn vague tickets into work orders an AI coding agent can finish.

Paste a rough ticket. The Spec Sharpener returns goal, scope, out-of-scope items and testable checks, and your work order fills in beside it.

The problem
Tickets are written for humans. Agents need more.


Teams now delegate code changes to AI coding agents, but tickets are written for people. Vague scope, missing acceptance tests and unbounded context lead to wasted tokens, sprawling diffs and risky merges. Nobody has a shared standard for what is safe to delegate or how to review agent output.


What an unbounded ticket costs


  • Wasted tokensThe agent reads the whole repository because nothing says where to look.
  • Sprawling diffsWithout out-of-scope items, unrelated files change.
  • Risky mergesNo acceptance tests means no objective way to say "done".


Hold






The solution

A delegation workbench: from vague ticket to merged change in four steps.


Structure a task into an agent-ready work order, estimate its token and time budget, decide whether it is safe to delegate, and run a review gate before merge. Focused AI helpers sharpen specs and review diffs.

The product
Five parts, one workbench.




Work Order Builder

Paper-collage of a crumpled scrap turning into a neat work-order ticket with blank checkboxes and folders.

Example
# Work order
## Goal
Add rate limiting to login
## Acceptance
- [ ] 6th attempt returns 429


Goal, scope, constraints and drag-to-reorder acceptance checks, exported as Markdown.


Token Budget

Paper-collage of three towers of paper strips of different heights beside paper coins and an hourglass.

Example
Lean   120k in · 8k out
Normal  300k in · 20k out
Worst   900k in · 60k out


Lean, normal and worst-case cost scenarios with your own prices.


Delegation Score and Review Gate

Paper-collage of a gate barrier with a ticket passing through and three stamp marks: check, pause and cross.

Example
Delegation score 75%
Verdict: PASS (threshold 75%)


Weighted checklists with a pass, hold or stop verdict.

Plans
Free while in early access. Team plans are coming.


The core tools are free today and drive adoption among individual engineers. Paid team plans will add shared work-order templates, organisation-wide delegation policies and usage analytics, as a per-seat subscription with a lighter tier for solo developers.

Vision
The layer between intent and agent.


We want to become the standard layer between human intent and AI coding agents: where every engineering organisation defines what can be delegated, how it is specified and how it is verified.


For whom
Built for engineering leads.
Engineering leads, staff engineers and platform teams at software companies who hand tasks to AI coding agents and need predictable scope, cost and review quality.
