OktoLabs.AI

Making AI actually usable. We turn intention into delivery without friction, improvisation, or trial and error.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

This is why we built Pulse.

Local-first. MCP-native. Agent-agnostic.

The agent works one card at a time, with project state outside the chat window.

Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.

Available today at the same price.

Now... Picture doing this with Pulse!
Where SPEC and lessons learned are all structured data, with correlations.
Why not give it a try?

[Thariq @trq212]

a prompt I've been using a lot recently:

implement <SPEC> and while you do, keep a running implementation-notes.html file (or markdown) with decisions you had to make weren't in the spec, things you had to change, tradeoffs you had to make or anything else I should know

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

Pulse makes that contract queryable: card, spec, rules, tests, decisions, evidence, validation. MCP for the agent. API/UI for the runner and human.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

Background coding agents need a task contract before they leave the foreground session.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

The diff tells you what changed. The task contract tells you what the change was supposed to satisfy.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

The model can change. The runner can change. The project state should not live only inside either one.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

A custom coding runner should hand the agent a card, not a paragraph.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

The runner can use the API. The agent can use MCP. The human can use the UI.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

Pulse is a local SDLC state machine with several ways in.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

Pulse is MCP-native. It is not MCP-only.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

Use MCP when the coding agent needs tools. Use the API when a runner, CI job, dashboard, or script needs direct state.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

If the goal cannot point to a spec, card, test, decision, or validation record, it is probably still too soft.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

Claude Code /goal is strongest when the goal can be checked from evidence.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

That gives the agent something to prove and gives the team something to review.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

Better goal: move this card to validation with test evidence attached and no unresolved scope questions.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

A good /goal is not project state. It is the first constraint.

[OktoLabs.AI @OktoLabsAI]

Codex can keep the session aimed. Pulse keeps the stopping condition reviewable outside the chat context.
