Review intent before execution
The first real review step should happen before the repo is touched.
Private alpha · intent review for coding agents
Review intent
before execution.
Caskade helps teams review plans, catch meaningful drift during implementation, and validate outcomes without relying on transcripts or post-hoc diff archaeology.
Currently working with a small number of early teams using coding agents in live repos.
The transcript is not enough.
The diff is too late.
The worker should not self-certify.
The missing layer between agent runs and trusted change.
Most coding-agent workflows still rely on a bad default: let the agent run, inspect the transcript afterward, inspect the diff afterward, and clean up whatever widened along the way.
Caskade changes that order. It creates a real execution boundary between plan and repo mutation.
- Review intent before execution
- Make the blast radius explicit and enforceable
- Keep validation authority outside the worker
- Hand off a clean squash-ready change

1Agent submits plan

3Agent executes inside blast radius
A tighter loop for agent execution.
Stop guessing what the agent did. Start controlling what it is allowed to do.
01
Plan submission
The agent submits a structured execution plan rather than immediately running commands.
02
Intent review
Humans review, edit, comment, and approve the plan before execution proceeds.
03
Bounded execution
The agent run stays strictly inside the approved blast radius.
04
Artifact validation
Validation focuses on whether the result works, enforcing authority outside the worker.
05
Clean handoff
The outcome is a trusted, squash-ready change, not transcript archaeology.
What Caskade believes.
Bound the blast radius
Approval should define exactly what is allowed to execute.
Keep validation outside the worker
The worker implements. It does not self-certify its own success.
Turn runs into trusted changes
The outcome should be a clean handoff, not a transcript plus a mess.
Built for teams already running coding agents on real repos.
Caskade is for founder-engineers, small AI-native engineering teams, and technical leads already using Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex-style tools, or similar workflows in live repos.
These teams do not need to be sold on agent upside. They need better control over how agent work becomes trusted change.
Caskade does not compete with the agent.
It is not another IDE agent. It is not a generic copilot. It is not a CI replacement.
It competes with the unsafe, messy gap between agent output and trusted repo change.
Private alpha for teams already using coding agents in production-like workflows
Bring us a real workflow.
We are working with a small number of early teams already using coding agents on live repos.
- Bring a real repo or workflow
- Help shape the product around real review pain
- Get early access to the intent-review and drift-control loop
What happens if you apply.
- 1
You share your current workflow, repo context, or half-finished spec.
- 2
We review whether it is a fit for the current private alpha.
- 3
If it is, we work with you on a tighter intent-review and drift-control loop.
Before agent work can be trusted,
it needs an execution boundary.
Caskade is that boundary. We are accepting a small number of early teams now.
