One control plane · three agent formats

ContextOpsPolicy ships like code.

Define AI coding instructions once. Version them, assign them across repositories, and make every generated file inspectable before it changes.

The control plane

A governed path from decision to repository.

Agent instructions stop being scattered markdown. Every change moves through one visible sequence, with ownership and history attached.

  1. 01

    Author

    Structure commands, standards, security, and agent overrides.

  2. 02

    Version

    Publish a named policy version with a readable change log.

  3. 03

    Assign

    Map the right policy and version to every repository.

  4. 04

    Generate

    Render each agent's native instruction file from one source.

  5. 05

    Review

    Inspect exactly what changes before a pull request is opened.

  6. 06

    Audit

    Keep an immutable trail of policy decisions and rollouts.

One policy, many repositories

Set the standard once. See where it lands.

Assign a specific policy version to every codebase. ContextOps gives platform teams a precise inventory of what each repository should contain.

Native output

Every agent gets the file it expects.

The source stays centralized while generated instructions remain familiar, reviewable markdown inside each repository.

ready for review
Drift control

Turn a mismatch into a reviewable change.

Compare expected instructions with repository state, inspect the proposed diff, and keep the review path visible from detection to compliance.

GitHub connection and live pull-request creation are intentionally disabled in this phase. The workspace currently uses clearly marked demo repositories.
