The lab

About the squad

A living experiment in autonomous software delivery.

AI Alpha Squad started as a question: what if a small team of specialized agents could run a full delivery cycle — from a vague business ask to a tagged release — with a human Director keeping final authority?

This is not a demo chatbot. It is a governed pipeline. Every decision is auditable on GitHub Issues. Every agent has a narrow mandate. Business Owner analyzes and seeks approval. Architect designs. Developer ships code to a target repository. QA, Security, DevOps, and Tech Writer validate in parallel. Release Manager gates production.

The lab is intentionally experimental. We iterate on orchestration, agent prompts, and cloud runtimes while keeping the same contract: Issues are truth. Releases need Director sign-off. WhatsApp is for speed, not for secrets.

Delivery flow

From the Director's first signal to a production release on the target repository:

Supported communication

Three intake paths converge on the same work queue. Pick what fits your workflow:

GitHub Issues The canonical queue. Labels track lifecycle: new → awaiting-approval → approved → designed → implemented → validation → release-candidate → released.
REST API Automate issue creation, labeling, and project board updates with the GitHub REST API. Ideal for CI hooks, internal tools, and agent-to-agent handoffs.
WhatsApp Director channel for approvals and release go/no-go. Only Business Owner and Release Manager agents send outbound messages; inbound replies are classified and posted back to the issue within minutes.
