The identity layer your agents have been missing.
Software development has moved from writing code to steering agents. ribo.dev provides the semantic grounding needed to keep agents aligned with your engineering soul.
The Seven Truth Artifact Types
Define your engineering identity through seven structured layers that agents can actually parse and obey.
Intent
The high-level 'Why'. Why does this service exist? What problem is it solving for the user?
Invariant
The non-negotiables. Rules that can never be broken by an agent, no matter the context.
Contract
Formal interface expectations between services or components.
Algorithm
The specific logic patterns preferred for complex processing.
Evaluation
How we measure success. Metrics and observability markers.
Pace
Deployment velocity and stability thresholds for this truth artifact.
Monitor
Real-time health definitions and alert paths.
Semantic Identity Search
Agents don't search for "auth.go". They ask: "What is our authentication approach for internal microservices?" ribo.dev maps natural language to your structural identity.
"All microservices must use OIDC with short-lived bearer tokens. No local session storage permitted."
Native MCP Support
Integrate ribo.dev directly into your Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatible tools. Claude, Cursor, and custom internal agents can now "speak" your engineering identity natively.

}Identity Beats Specs
Traditional documentation is a fossil. Swagger specs are too narrow. ribo.dev is the "live soul" of your codebase that agents use to make decisions when you aren't looking.
cancelWithout ribo.dev
Agents hallucinate "best practices" based on generic training data, often violating your specific internal architectural constraints and debt-reduction goals.

Agents are grounded in your truth artifacts. Every PR, every refactor, and every new feature is verified against your engineering identity before it hits the disk.
