Lifecycle management
Connect specifications, reviewed plans, approvals, implementation, verification, and release preparation.
IN DEVELOPMENT · STEALTH MODE
Agentic development. Managed from intent to delivery.
AceLM is an agent-native coding environment being built to connect specifications, plans, implementation, and verification in one persistent workspace.
Terminal-native. · Lifecycle-aware. · Built for continuity.

PERSISTENT CONTEXT
The project carries the context.
Development spans conversations, agents, branches, and contributors. AceLM is being designed to preserve the intentions, decisions, dependencies, and evidence that allow work to continue coherently.
Instead of scattering context across ephemeral chat windows and disconnected tools, AceLM links intent directly to execution. It will be installed independently of repositories, pairing fast local indexing with versioned project records that travel seamlessly alongside Git.
Independent Installation
Installed independently of repositories, keeping your toolchain clean while providing rapid local indexing.
Travels with Git
Project records, plans, and evidence are versioned in repository files, remaining durable across machines and clones.
Continuous Coherence
Preserves technical intentions and decisions so contributors and agents pick up exactly where work left off.
ROADMAP PREVIEW
Planned capabilities.
A balanced foundation designed to bring structure, persistence, and verification to agentic workflows.
An agent-native workspace
Direct agents, inspect their work, review changes, and make decisions within a cohesive coding environment.
Persistent terminal sessions
Move between tabs and panes, access workspace controls with Ctrl-G, and reconnect to live work after a connection drops.
Files and Git, in view
Navigate folders, inspect diffs, and follow branches and worktrees through a terminal-based interface.
Coordinated execution
Manage dependencies, isolate parallel development, and bring agent contributions together through controlled integration.
Evidence-backed completion
Connect requirements to implementation and recorded verification, making completed work and unresolved gaps visible.
Release-readiness checks
Review changes, required checks, documentation, and unresolved findings before preparing a release, with a clear readiness assessment.
Security checks
Coordinate security assessments, secret scanning, and dependency vulnerability checks, with findings tracked through remediation and verification.
Regression testing
Run project-defined regression tests alongside relevant build, lint, and type checks, recording results and surfacing failures before release.
STRUCTURED PROGRESSION
The development lifecycle, made visible.
Lifecycle state and evidence are intended to remain visible throughout the process, ensuring clarity at every step from initial intent to release.
1

ENTERPRISE DIRECTION
Built with enterprise needs in mind.
As software organizations introduce agentic workflows into mission-critical codebases, predictability and governance become paramount.
Governance
Clear boundaries, human oversight touchpoints, and deterministic workflow states for team collaboration.
Traceability
Versioned audit trails linking specification intent, agent decisions, code diffs, and verification outputs.
Extensibility
Flexible adapters accommodating project-defined tests, security linters, and team-specific validation standards.
Controlled Execution
Isolated worktree execution and bounded file scopes preventing runaway modifications or unintended side effects.
Coming soon
A clearer way to move agentic work forward.
AceLM is taking shape. More details will follow as the product develops.
