FactionOS

Engineering teams

Shared review context for local agent work.

Give operators a mission picture for parallel agent work while keeping prompts, paths, credentials, and review state local by default.

Engineering teams need a common way to understand what agents are doing, where review is needed, and which local signals support a change.

The problem

Where the work loses its shape.

Agent work often spans terminal panes, local hook output, PR context, and hand-written notes. FactionOS gives the team a product vocabulary for mission status and review context.

Before and after

What changes with an operating picture.

Mission status

Before

Status is inferred from terminal scrollback, chat updates, or stale PR notes.

With FactionOS

A local cockpit can summarize active lanes, mission posture, and review checkpoints.

Cockpit visibility is product runtime behavior.

Review context

Before

Reviewers ask what changed, which tool ran, and why an agent moved to the next step.

With FactionOS

File, tool, validation, approval, and lifecycle signals stay attached to the mission.

Signals should stay narrow and avoid raw secrets, full source, or broad path dumps.

Parallel work

Before

Planner, builder, and reviewer agents drift because ownership is not visible.

With FactionOS

Lanes, subagent lineage, and checkpoints give operators a shared map.

Lineage is event context, not a promise that every external provider is supported.

Failure handling

Before

Broken hooks or validation gaps become invisible until someone audits manually.

With FactionOS

Diagnostics and validation state surface as visible local product signals.

Diagnostics copy must expose failure states without leaking sensitive output.

Surface mapping

Which surface does the job.

Availability and guardrail columns keep local, optional, and outbound clearly separated.

Operator proof

How this path shows up in the cockpit.

Review example

Review checkpoint row

A mission row can show owner, status, validation state, and next review action.

Evidence Useful when a reviewer needs context before approving a risky local change.

Review rows keep next action and validation state visible.

Boundary

Local privacy reminder

Role copy keeps prompt bodies, local paths, credentials, and source code out of public previews.

Evidence Useful when adopting agent visibility in privacy-sensitive repositories.

Local-first behavior is the baseline unless a later integration is explicit.

Boundaries

What stays true for this role.

  • separate
    Account

    Hosted organization, SSO, role management, and team account workflows are separate product concerns.

  • operator
    Review

    Review surfaces describe operator checkpoints; local tools still control execution.

Team path

Inspect the surface map, then open the guided demo.

Use product and features pages to compare the local cockpit and review surfaces, or open the external demo to inspect the flow.

The zero-install demo is a guided preview and stays separate from local sessions. Hosted team work remains a separate product concern.
