Cycle Makes AI Coding Agents Submit Receipts
An open-source, fully local delivery pipeline that makes AI coding agents pass independent planning, verification, review, and arbitration before code reaches a repository.
Field notes
Cycle structures AI-assisted delivery as a chain of custody rather than a single conversation. An architect defines acceptance criteria and write scopes, an executor works inside a managed Git worktree, and two blind reviewers inspect the frozen candidate before an arbiter can promote it. The page gives illustrative per-role usage figures—1.8k, 2.1k, and 1.6k tokens—and lists host editions spanning Trae Work, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, ZCode, Antigravity, and MiniMax Code.
