What Bearing does

An intel layer for AI coding agents that assumes its own rules might be wrong — and keeps the evidence. Authoritative north-stars the agent must cite, a task-core written before compaction eats it, review by an expert in YOUR domain, and an installer that verifies its own claims instead of printing success. Claude Code, Cursor, Zed, Codex.

**An intel layer for AI coding agents.**

Your tests catch code that breaks. Nothing catches an agent that has drifted about what the code *means*.

A drifted agent doesn't crash. It reads a doc you abandoned in March, re-proposes the feature you already measured and killed, and writes a convincing paragraph about it. You nod. You find out three days later.

That failure has a name — **losing your bearings**.
