Architecture co-pilot for AI TypeScript

One contract.
One gate.
One co-pilot.

Your AI writes most of the code. ArkGate keeps that code inside an architecture you can trust—and makes sure a green check means something real.

Every write is checked before it lands.

The only flow

Three moves.
No new curriculum.

01checkpoint
npx arkgate start

Install the shape

Map the real repository, install the gates, and freeze an origin report.

02checkpoint
/ark-autopilot

Let the agent adopt

Match the contract to the codebase, plan repairs, and keep the gates on.

03checkpoint
arkgate-check --doctor

Know where you are

One status screen shows adoption gaps, governed coverage, and the next move.

02 / Enforcement plane

One file.
Two moments that matter.

ArkGate turns your architecture into a machine-readable contract. Agents read it while they work. CI checks it before code merges.

03 / Honest status

Green should mean governed.

Doctor reports the contract you have—not the architecture you hope you have. Coverage, host wiring, and adoption gaps stay visible.

Status, not settings

Suggest

New or thin project. Finish setup and map the real shape.

Adapt

Keep improving coverage until the contract can protect you honestly.

Enforce

Build features. Fix violations only when the gate finds them.

You arrive at Enforce. You never “turn it on.”

Designed for the repo you have

Shape-aware.
Agent-native.
