Invented extra scope problem for this team.
Invented extra scope problem: Kovnor's lead agent plans against the outcome you set, and the reviewer sends back work the task did not ask for. Extra scope arrives as an ask you can refuse, not as a surprise in the demo. You are asked only when it takes a person, in Waiting on you.
The roadmap slice says notifications only, and not a new editor. The build agent posts a done note that includes the editor, because it seemed related. The demo shows the editor. The slice approval never covered it, and the extra work displaced the exit check for notifications. Scope grew inside the run, then arrived as a gift nobody asked to maintain.
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 about it
Kovnor starts from the outcome you set and proposes a team with one job per agent, a lead that owns the plan and a reviewer that checks the work before it reaches you. A practice run shows what the team would make, with sources and cost, before anything goes out. Asks come with a recommendation, a default and a deadline. Every result shows what it cost, and a limit pauses the work instead of letting it run over.
Limit
The reviewer checks against the task as written. If the task never said what was out of scope, the reviewer cannot know.
