ZEROexecution
From zero to system, with method
Build a product from scratch through the full SDD pipeline — the deliverable is the working product plus the trail of documents that sustains it.
TriageCode · method & engineering · precise, governed, evidence decides
AI already writes code. What was missing: trusting it at enterprise scale.
TriageCode (tcode) is the AI-assisted development environment that puts method, evidence and governance at the center — a terminal with a visual interface, built on an agent engine, that guides the team along rails of assisted work from idea to code, always with traceability and human approval where it matters.

Human
approves the sensitive decision — never auto-merge
The problem
Vibe coding doesn't scale: nobody trusts what the AI produced.
Blindly generated code compiles, but no one understands it later; it hallucinates without warning and closes as “done” on the hearsay of “I think I finished.” Without an objective arbiter of DONE, without backing for what’s proven and without human approval where the decision is sensitive, the AI’s speed turns into technical debt and risk.
How it works
From the scattered signal to the evidence that decides.
01
Specification before code
The flow is Idea → PRD → Architecture → Stories → Implementation. Each phase has a specialized agent role and a canonical artifact versioned in the repository — no implicit knowledge, because what the agent can't see doesn't exist.
1Idea→ 2PRD→ 3Architecture→ 4Stories→ 5Implementation
02
Sensors arbitrate DONE
A phase only goes green when it passes executable sensors — commands that return success or failure. The Developer never declares DONE; that’s exclusive to QA, with recorded evidence. No more “done” by opinion.
03
Sensitive decisions go back to the right person
Architecture, strategy and fixes become cards in the Decision Panel, with the recommended option on top and the rationale. The AI recommends with backing; the final word is always human.
Seven rails, one method
Choose the mode by the state of your software.
Filter by Report (diagnosis, no code change) or Execution (applies changes) — some modes serve both.
EVOLUTIONhybrid
Grow without breaking what works
Evolve a system worth keeping, adopting SDD in parts — the only mode that also applies the changes (phase 5).
Example report ↗AUDITORIAreport
Is this system worth keeping?
Decide whether to invest in an existing system, via an objective score. Read-only — never modifies the target.
Example report ↗ASSESSMENTreport
The diagnosis that becomes decision material
Map an existing system’s state and prioritize risk — without changing anything. Two tabs: Executive and Complete.
Example report ↗FIXhybrid
Fix with contract, QA and traceability
Fix the approved findings of a diagnosis with the discipline of a change process. Every change happens only with a signed contract.
MIGRATIONreport
Rewrite without losing behavior
Plan the migration/rewrite ensuring the new does the same as the old. Parity proof becomes a blocking sensor.
Example report ↗COPILOTOexecution
The free agent, with guardrails
A free conversational agent — chat + terminal, no SDD phases or gates. It pauses and asks for authorization before destructive operations.
+cross-cutting
Governance & compliance, across all rails
Dual-face (dev↔CTO), governance and compliance run across every mode — ISO/IEC/IEEE, NIST SP 800-218, OWASP ASVS/SAMM, ITIL.
Example reports
The report is the artifact: self-contained HTML, opens full-screen.
