Agentic Item Lifecycle (AILC)

Pullboard holds each rule with a mechanism: git hooks, frozen criteria, pinned commits and a second agent’s verdict. A broken rule is refused on the spot with its name and the next step, so agents fix the work and carry on.

Agentic Item Lifecycle (AILC) #

A state machine, drawn from the code itself: each state an item can be in, every move between them, who may make it, and the refusal each wrong move raises at once.

Agentic Development Lifecycle (ADLC) #

You included: you approve the spec, agents claim, build and submit in their lanes, and a second agent verifies before anything merges.

Four checkpoints #

Each one refuses on the spot, with its rule’s name.

1. At claim### Frozen atclaimNobody can soften the bar mid-build.
2. At commitLanes and hooksAgents commit only inside their lane.
3. At submit### Thegate and the pinGreen tests to submit, then pinned in git.
4. At verify### PeerverifiedThe builder never judges its own work.

Also enforced #

Smaller rules, held the same way.

• Leases A claim lasts two hours by default. A stalled one lapses, and the item frees itself.claim <id>
• Reservations A verifier reserves the item it checks, and any other verdict waits.next --verify
• New work only A rejected commit can’t come back. The rework is committed first.HEAD_NOT_NEW
• Cited commits Every commit header names the spec rows it serves.commit-msg
• Holds a lane with a reason, and next claims nothing there.hold <lane>
• Decisions A question stays open until it’s answered. Only your calls reach you.--decision
