Cadre

Measure twice, code once.

Cadre is a human-governed, Git-aware delivery harness for Codex and Claude Code, combining approved project context, spec-first tracks, resumable execution, review gates, and safe parallel worktrees.

Claude Code

OpenAI Codex

versioned MCP runtime

Human-governed workflow

Cadre validates every durable transition.

Create

Track

Implement

Review

Durable delivery without hidden workflow state.

The docs follow the actual create-to-archive lifecycle: context, planning, implementation, verification, review, learning, and recovery.

Human approval gates

Artifacts, commits, integrations, verification, and lifecycle changes stay proposals until you approve them.

Resumable delivery

Project, track, operation, and execution journals reconcile repository and Git state after interruptions.

Safe parallel execution

Dependency-ready workers use isolated worktrees while the main agent owns scheduling, integration, and approval.

Documentation map

Start with installation and the first track, then go deeper into lifecycle rules, parallel execution, MCP tools, and recovery.
