Product Deep Dive
Software engineering without hallucinated authority.
Most AI coding tools treat the developer as a bystander or grant unconstrained execution access to the machine. IRISH introduces mission contracts: typed intent, bounded specialist workers, deterministic validation, and explicit approval before remote publication.
Specialist Architecture
The Developer Specialist: Vertical 01
Rather than relying on generic reasoning loops, IRISH deploys specialized workers tailored for specific engineering verticals. The Developer Specialist is the first live vertical, focused entirely on the issue-to-PR workflow.
Issue Ingestion & Planning
The specialist reads the target issue, maps file dependencies, isolates the affected files, and creates a step-by-step mission graph before modifying any code.
Sandboxed Modification
Modifications happen in an isolated working tree. The specialist writes implementation code and companion unit tests, restricted from touching out-of-scope files or parent directories.
Machine Validation
The local daemon executes typecheck, linting, and regression tests. If any check fails, the specialist iterates against the error logs until the suite passes or flags the blocker.
Core Capabilities
Built for production repositories
Local-First Storage & Processing
Your codebase is not uploaded to cloud database clusters or used for model training. The IRISH daemon runs locally on your system, interacting directly with your local git trees and development tools.
Deterministic Evidence Packages
Every mission generates a permanent audit package: git diffs, test logs, runtime stats, and SHA256 hashes. You never have to guess what was touched or whether tests were actually executed.
Owner-Controlled Publication
Zero silent git pushes. Once validation passes, the mission enters the Approval Center. Publication creates a standard pull request on GitHub, keeping code review intact.
Replaceable Model Routing
Avoid vendor lock-in. IRISH abstracts model reasoning behind standardized adapters, allowing you to route planning, diff generation, and reviews across Anthropic, OpenAI, or local models.
