Igni is the intent layer for teams running agents on code that matters.
Git for code. Igni for intent.
01 Reality pushes back
The work pushes back.
Implementation evidence surfaces an open choice while the agent keeps building.
The execution layer is here.
The intent layer is missing.
Agents turn direction into code at machine speed.
But every implementation exposes choices: tradeoffs, constraints, exceptions. Today those choices get buried in runs, memory files, and diffs.
More context helps the agent.
More review checks the output.
More memory records what the agent believes.
None of them gives the team a place to make the call while work keeps moving.
If your answer is only the diff, you're approving code - not directing software.
Igni gives the call a place to happen: revealed by the work, shaped by humans and agents, then held as graph-connected intent.
Not better context. Infrastructure for intent.
From buried tradeoff to owned intent
The work reveals the tradeoff. Humans and agents make the call. The graph attaches it to the work that must honor it.
Intent Loop
Surface the choice.
A finding is not a verdict. It is an open choice with evidence.
Implementation evidence surfaces the tension while the agent keeps building.
Without it: intent never learns from implementation reality.
Intent Stage
Make the call.
The work keeps moving. The call can be made now or held in view for later.
Human and agent contributions stay on the same live work surface.
The call is shaped together, not handed back as a diff to approve.
Without it: humans find out too late.
Intent Graph
Make the call stick.
Either implementation, intent, or both can change once the call is owned.
The resolved call becomes graph-connected intent, attached to the work that must honor it.
Without it: every decision is an island.
A call nobody owns is a liability nobody holds.
Read the full argument →Point Igni at your codebase. The graph builds from real product and code structure. You choose what should guide the work.
Day zero is curation, not data entry.
Charter access
If this is becoming real inside your engineering team, we'd like to hear from you.
