Review intent before execution
The first real review step should happen before the repo is touched.
Caskade turns raw coding-agent runs into plan-reviewed, blast-radius-bounded, validation-gated, squash-ready changes. Review plans before the repo is touched and hand off clean changes without relying on transcript archaeology.
The transcript is not enough.
The diff is too late.
The worker should not self-certify.
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.
Stop guessing what the agent did. Start controlling what it is allowed to do.
The agent submits a structured execution plan rather than immediately running commands.
Humans review, edit, comment, and approve the plan before execution proceeds.
The agent run stays strictly inside the approved blast radius.
Validation focuses on whether the result works, enforcing authority outside the worker.
The outcome is a trusted, squash-ready change, not transcript archaeology.
The first real review step should happen before the repo is touched.
Approval should define exactly what is allowed to execute.
The worker implements. It does not self-certify its own success.
The outcome should be a clean handoff, not a transcript plus a mess.
Caskade is for founder-engineers, small AI-native engineering teams, and technical leads already using Claude Code, OpenCode, 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.
It is not another IDE agent. It is not a generic copilot. It is not a CI replacement or broad multi-agent orchestration marketing.
It competes with the unsafe, messy gap between agent output and trusted repo change.
Caskade is that boundary.
