The engine

Models think.
Ghloo governs.

Models drift, overclaim and can be talked into anything. So every action runs through an engine that isn’t a model, and can’t be talked out of its rules.

Models think.
Ghloo governs.

Every action passes four checks before it happens, with Sentinel trying to break it. Nothing drifts, nothing is faked, nothing runs twice.

Animated diagram of the Ghloo engine. Each action from a seat passes four gates: scope, evidence, authority and ledger, while Sentinel probes it. It shows an off-plan task blocked, an unproven claim rejected then verified, a production delete escalated and denied, and work resuming from a checkpoint after a power loss without repeating an email.

Governance in code

Rules live in the engine, not in a prompt. A model can be talked into anything. The engine can’t.

Claims need proof

Sentinel, an adversarial checker on a different model family, tries to break every claim. Work is done when a test, a source or a reviewer proves it.

Nothing drifts

Every action is checked against the plan and PROJECT.md. Off-plan work is stopped before it starts, not discovered after.

It keeps going

Jobs survive restarts, crashes and closed laptops. Every step is saved, and nothing with a side effect runs twice.

Governance you can see

Approvals, activity and rules, straight from the app.

Four gates

Every action passes all four, or it doesn’t happen.

01 · Scope

Is it in the plan?

Each action is checked against the approved plan and PROJECT.md, the brief every seat must read. Off-plan work is stopped before it starts.

02 · Evidence

Is it proven?

“Done” and “tests pass” need a test run, a source or a check attached. Claims without evidence are marked unverified, never done.

03 · Authority

Is it allowed?

Deny by default. Anything that sends, buys, publishes, deletes or changes access needs your approval of that exact action, or a timed permission you granted.

04 · Ledger

Is it recorded?

Every action writes a receipt: who asked, what ran, what it cost and what came back. You can open any step and see exactly what happened.

“A model can be talked into anything. The engine can’t.”

The rules live in code that isn’t a model, so no prompt, page or email can argue its way past them.

Sentinel

A built-in adversary.

Sentinel’s only job is to find what’s wrong. It runs on a different model family and reads the real files and test runs, not a summary.

  • Flags drift away from the plan.
  • Challenges claims that have no evidence.
  • Escalates risky actions to you.
  • Can never approve anything itself.

Work that outlives the session

Every step is saved as it happens. After a crash, Ghloo checks what already ran before it does anything again.

After a power loss mid-deploy, Nova resumes at step 14 and confirms a migration already ran.

Real orchestration, not a group chat

Work goes to the seat with the best reviewed record, on the model that suits it, inside a hard budget.
