Chirality

Free and open source · MIT licence

Stop copying the last project. Start building on it.

Every project should make the next one better. In most firms it doesn’t, because what was learned lives in a folder somebody has to remember. Chirality is a way of working, and an application, in which agents keep the firm’s workflows current and bring more of each job in front of your judgement. What the firm learns stays with the firm, as files you own.

Runs on your own machine, with a local model, your own API key, or an OpenAI login.

Publishing a design basis memorandum. The agent works a section at a time and stops at each gate to ask.

What changes

More of the job in front of your judgement.

The checking is still yours. What changes is how much of the work reaches it.

One pair of eyes

A sixty-page design basis, a deadline, and the one senior person who can check it. They read what they have time to read, and the rest goes out on trust.

This is how most firms work, and everyone in them knows it.

Every claim, in front of that person

Every section scanned for coverage. Every value listed with what it rests on. Every TBD and every thin paragraph found. Fourteen findings, each with its evidence, put in front of the same person, who rules on each one.

The judgement didn’t move. The job came to it.

What is published

The workflows we build with. Free, and yours to change.

Eighteen working agents, the method packs they dispatch, and two hundred deterministic tools. The same ones we use to build the software itself.

Documents

Publish a design basis memorandum from accepted project state. Prepare the basis of an estimate, with every rate indexed to its source. Write a scope of work.

Each stops at gates that are yours.

Source material

Convert PDFs into Markdown you can cite. Read drawings: title blocks, equipment, valve counts. Audit the equations in a scanned handbook.

The tedious part, done the same way every time.

Checking

Review a draft against the knowledge base. Run the formal five-gate review. Evaluate a whole project, read-only.

Findings prepared for you. Never decided for you.

Why it holds

Structure is what makes it reliable.

The three things that make a junior’s work safe to rely on make an agent’s work safe to rely on. You already keep them for people.

Workflows.

How a job gets done, written down properly, with the places where you decide marked. Agents keep it current and run it the same way for whoever picks it up.

References.

What the work has to be true to: the admitted documents, the standards, the decisions already made. An agent reads these, and says which.

Checklists.

Whether the result conforms. What gets scanned before anyone reads, and what a reviewer looks at first.

When the knowledge is structured, the agents are reliable, the knowledge compounds, and keeping everyone consistent gets cheaper. That is the whole idea. The discipline to keep it structured is still yours. The method makes it the easy path.

In development · built this way

SWB Piping Designer

A piping flexibility environment where the agent has read the solver. Ask why a number came out the way it did and it can show you the method. Ask it to build the model from the isometric, or to try three loop positions, and it proposes the changes for you to accept. Export to the tool your project relies on. Local, open, MIT.

Illustration. The interface is still being designed; the mechanics are open on GitHub today.

Getting started

Take it. Use it on real work. Ask for help if you want it.

Everything is published: the application, the agents, the workflows, the tools, and the examples we will keep adding. Most firms will do this without ever speaking to us. When many workflows need to run at once, we build the coordination system that lets them run concurrently without conflicting. Keeping them disciplined over time is the firm’s job, and we can help with that too.
