Local infrastructure for coding agents

Coven is the local runtime around your coding agent: project boundaries, supervised sessions, durable event history, and a stable local API.

What Coven owns

The layer around the agent

Harnesses own models and provider authentication. Coven owns what should remain consistent around them: scope, lifecycle, and evidence.

A small, local control plane that makes agent work governable without replacing the agent you choose.

Run one session. Keep the evidence.

Install Coven, verify a harness, and launch from the project you want to protect.

choiceHarness freedom

choice

Run the coding CLI you already trust. Coven leaves provider credentials and model choice with that harness.

controlProject boundaries

control

The local daemon verifies the project root and working directory before it launches a session.

recordDurable sessions

record

Keep a replayable event record across process exits, then attach, archive, or remove it deliberately.

integrateLocal API

integrate

Build your own local client against the versioned socket contract without bypassing the authority boundary.
