Your coding agents got 10x faster. Your pipeline didn't.

Post-kanban, agent-native planning. Humans write objectives. Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex decompose, execute, and check in. Every decision signed. Every change audited.

Your coding agents got 10x faster. Your pipeline didn't.

The Control Plane for Agent Labor

Your coding agents got 10x faster. Your pipeline didn't.

Speed moved to the middle and left the ceremonies behind. Planwright inverts the two that are still human-paced: it turns your chaos — transcripts, decks, email, Slack — into objectives, and triages acceptance so you rule only on what needs judgment. Planning and acceptance finally move at agent speed, and every ruling is signed.

The Problem

You bought the agents.

Where did the speed go?

Coding used to be the bottleneck. Not anymore. Now the constraint is everything you didn't automate:

Planning

A human hand-typing tasks at UI speed to feed machines running thousands of times faster.

Acceptance

A senior engineer reading pull requests one at a time — which is exactly where velocity goes to die.

Make the middle free and infinitely fast, and the edges become the ceiling. That's not a tooling gap. It's Amdahl's law.

The Fix

Invert the two ceremonies coding agents can't remove.

Front bookend

Invert planning: chaos in, objectives out.

Your planning input was never tidy — it's meeting transcripts, decks, email threads, Slack. From inside Claude Desktop, Planwright synthesizes that raw signal into structured objectives with machine-checkable acceptance criteria. The old ceremony had a human write the plan and the tool record it. Planwright flips it: the agent drafts, you approve — at the speed of describing what you want.

Back bookend

Invert acceptance: triage, don't drown.

When objectives complete, Planwright picks them up and triages acceptance in Claude Cowork — combing the plain, mechanical criteria and clearing what it safely can, then routing the critical, judgment-bound items to you. The machine doesn't accept; it sorts. You stop reading every diff and start ruling only on what actually needs a human, so your scarce judgment gets concentrated instead of flooded. Every ruling is signed.

The Acceptance Gate

The machine doesn't accept — it sorts.

The state machine ensures a human rules on every judgment call before work reaches “done.” Mechanical criteria get cleared automatically; critical decisions route to you. Your sign-off is the change-approval control point your SOC 2 auditor is looking for.

Scheduled

Human

Human sets the objective and schedules it for agent pickup.

In Progress

Agent

Agent claims the work, plans, codes, and records diffs via MCP.

Acceptance

Human

Agent requests acceptance. A human reviews the diff, tests, and signs off.

Done

Human

Human approves. The audit record is sealed and hash-chained.

Every lane transition produces a hash-chained, cryptographically signed audit record. The chain is independently verifiable on the public trust page.

How It Works

Three primitives. One throughput unlock.

Turn chaos into objectives.

In Claude Desktop, Planwright synthesizes your transcripts, decks, email, and Slack into structured objectives with machine-checkable acceptance criteria. You approve intent instead of hand-authoring tasks.

Triage acceptance, don't drown in it.

When objectives complete, Planwright combs the mechanical criteria in Claude Cowork and clears what it safely can, routing only the judgment calls to you. The machine doesn't accept — it sorts.

Every ruling is signed.

Machine-cleared throughput stays accountable: each human decision is a hash-chained record, not an ad-hoc PR read.

The Board

Objectives flow. Agents execute. Humans approve.

How It Works

Five steps. Zero busywork.

01

Write an objective

Describe the outcome you want. Not the steps. Not the implementation. A clear, atomic objective your agent can own end-to-end.

02

Your agent claims it via MCP

Claude Code connects to your Planwright board, picks up scheduled objectives, and starts working. No copy-pasting tickets. No context-switching.

03

Agent plans, executes, requests acceptance

The agent decomposes the objective, writes code, runs tests, and moves it to the acceptance lane. Every step recorded in the audit chain.

04

You review and sign off

Every acceptance is a cryptographic signature. Not a checkbox. A real approval with your identity bound to it.

05

Every step hash-chained and signed

Immutable audit trail from objective creation to final merge. SOC 2 evidence that writes itself.

Compliance

SOC 2 auditors are raising the bar on AI-generated code.

Under the 2026 Trust Services Criteria, auditors increasingly expect immutable, tamper-evident audit trails and documented change-approval controls for AI-driven changes. Most PM tools can't produce them. Planwright ships this as a core primitive — hash-chained, ECDSA P-256-signed, from the first objective to the final merge.
