Run AI coding agents with gates, not hope.
For South African dev teams and agencies starting to run AI coding agents. In two weeks we set up the loops, gates and lanes that decide what an agent may ship on its own and what waits for a person.
What you get
- Loops: every unit of agent work runs produce, check, correct until a written green condition passes.
- Gates: deterministic checks first (build, tests, diff scope), a model critique only as one input, never the whole gate.
- Lanes: L1 reversible and contained, L2 reversible but wide, L3 hard to reverse and human-only.
- A Discord or Slack line for each agent house, posting only on change.
- Restore: a way back for each lane, plus a three-attempt limit per unit.
The two weeks
- 01Map the work (days 1 to 2)We sit with your leads and list what your agents touch: repos, branches, environments, production sites, anything public in your name. Each one gets a lane by blast radius.
- 02Loops with a check that can fail (days 3 to 5)Every unit of agent work gets a green condition a program can evaluate: the build exits 0, tests pass, the diff touches only planned files, copy rules hold. Written before the work starts.
- 03Gates and lanes (days 6 to 7)L1 opens on green checks. L2 adds a review of the diff. L3, the hard-to-reverse steps such as production deploys, store submissions and emails to people, opens only for a named human.
- 04Your line (day 8)A Discord or Slack channel per agent house, so a lead can talk to the agents from a phone and hear only about changes: green, shipped, blocked, needs you.
- 05Restore and handover (days 9 to 10)A tested way back for every lane, a three-attempt limit that returns a failing unit instead of looping, and a constraints file that turns each lesson into a rule.

Why us
We run this setup on our own work every day. Village is our live view of it: a 3D island where each Claude Code session is a house and each agent it spawns is a villager, built as a web app, a local daemon and an iOS shell. The public demo island is at village-quantyx.vercel.app.
Our orchestrator splits each request into units, gives each unit a green condition, runs the houses in parallel, and holds every irreversible step for one human approval. The lanes, gates and three-attempt rule on this page are the ones we use.
Email us with your team size and the agents you run today. We reply with times for a call and a one-page plan for your setup.
