What it does
A local-first framework for architecture practices to build, govern and share AI-assisted workflows across the studio rather than each person improvising their own. Written around US practice, so the regulatory parts don't transfer to other jurisdictions — and code compliance is not a judgement to hand to a model in any case; that stays with a licensed professional. Client and project data reaching the model is worth a policy decision first. MIT.
