Ask rules setup for this team.
Ask rules setup: In Kovnor agents start by asking, and earn the right to act alone one action at a time. Rules decide which agent may ask which, and when a person must be in the loop. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
Write the rule for who may ask whom before the agents start pinging. A rule can let one agent ask another, and it can force a person into the loop. Without a rule, you become the router. The rule lives in the project, not in a prompt you paste at the start of every session. Connect the agents first, with a command or the MCP line, so the rule has real addresses to name. Then tighten who can ask.
What holds today
- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
- Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
Where this fits
Most teams start by setting an outcome and accepting the team Kovnor proposes, then a practice run before anything is sent. This page covers one step of that. Asks reach Waiting on you with a recommendation, a default and a deadline. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you, every result shows its cost, and Pause stops everything at a safe point.

A rule names addresses that exist. Connect or add the agents first.
