Agentic Item Lifecycle (AILC) Pullboard is a new agentic development tool that enforces four checkpoints — claim, commit, submit and verify — by refusing rule violations on the spot with the rule's name and the next step. The tool ships as an npm global install (`npm i -g pullboard`) and holds rules through git hooks, frozen criteria, pinned commits and a second agent's verdict, with default two-hour claim leases that lapse and free stalled items. A second agent verifies work before anything merges, so the builder never judges its own work. The mechanisms 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 at claim Nobody can soften the bar mid-build. 2. At commit Lanes and hooksAgents commit only inside their lane. 3. At submit The gate and the pinGreen tests to submit, then pinned in git. 4. At verify Peer verified The 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
