A repo file versus a ledger for the team for this team.
Karl-Gustav Kallasmaa, Founder
A repo file versus a ledger for the team: A file in the repository is the right place for what code must do. Kovnor holds the live state of the work: who is blocked, what waits on you, and what has passed its check. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
A file in the repo is the right place for a spec the code must obey. It is the wrong place for the live question of who is blocked. The team ledger holds that live state: addresses, Waiting on you, the check that has not passed. People who try to make the repo do both end up committing status notes. The notes rot. Leave the repo for the artifact. Leave the ledger for the work of getting to the artifact.
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.
What Kovnor does with this
Kovnor is built on this idea. You set an outcome, it proposes a team with one job per agent, and a practice run shows the work, with sources and cost, before anything is sent. Agents earn the right to act alone one action at a time. Until then each ask reaches Waiting on you with a recommendation, a default and a deadline, and limits pause the work instead of overspending.
Limit
Kovnor does not read your repository on its own. Specs that code must obey belong there.
