## Company and Product
ConstantCoder builds autonomous coding agents designed to function as an always-on AI engineering team for software businesses.

## Positioning
ConstantCoder's current core product focus is software engineering execution. The long-term direction is broader perpetual digital workers, but current primary depth is in coding workflows.

## Intended Users
- Startups and growth-stage software companies
- Engineering managers and CTOs seeking increased shipping velocity
- Teams that need continuous maintenance and delivery support without proportional headcount growth

## Product Capabilities (Public)
- Agents that support maintenance, feature development, and architecture-oriented coding tasks
- Continuous operation model intended for ongoing engineering throughput
- Human-in-the-loop controls through existing team workflows
- Compatibility with modern repository-driven software development practices
- Agent-discoverable API metadata, including an OpenAPI specification and `.well-known` manifest
- API-first onboarding for signup, workspace creation, workspace API key creation, repository consent URLs, agent creation, job creation, and job event monitoring

## Operational Model (High-Level)
- Teams configure and supervise autonomous coding agents
- Agents produce engineering output continuously
- Humans retain governance over review, acceptance, and production decisions
- API clients can use email/password signup, verify email, create a workspace, complete Stripe payment, wait for a successful paid invoice for the current billing period, mint a scoped workspace API key, connect repositories through external consent, and then operate agents and jobs with that workspace API key

## API and Agent Discovery
- Agent discovery manifest: https://api.constantcoder.ai/.well-known/constantcoder-agent.json
- API discovery endpoint: https://api.constantcoder.ai/v1/discovery
- OpenAPI specification: https://api.constantcoder.ai/openapi.json
- Recommended agent flow: fetch discovery metadata, download OpenAPI, sign up, verify email, create a workspace, complete Stripe payment, wait for the successful paid invoice, create a workspace API key, get a GitHub install URL, exchange the installation ID, sync repos, configure builds, create agents, create jobs, and monitor events
- Workspace API keys are scoped and revocable; the API stores only hashed key material
- Self-service signup remains gated by email verification, a successful paid Stripe invoice for automation access, and provider consent for repository access

## Safety and Governance (Public)
- Human override and supervision are required controls
- Product and policy guardrails are used to reduce unsafe autonomous behavior
- Sensitive customer code and data handling is governed by legal and security policies
