Agent-native execution environment

Ship AI-assisted software with full context and hard delivery gates.

Discuss in context. Execute with AI. Govern the release.

One execution environment replacing fragmented chat, issue trackers, and isolated AI windows.

How it works

From prompt to deployment — governed at every step.

Step 01 — Context

Unify context in one record

Client requests, PRDs, wireframes and team discussion attach directly to the task timeline. Every team member and AI agent operates on the exact same single source of truth.

Client request — scope v3PDF
PRD — webhook retriesDOC
Wireframe — settings panelFIG
Thread — 42 messagesLIVE
Step 02 — Execution

Command agents in the stream

Tag @claude or @codex inside the task thread. The agent reads native conversational history, executes code changes and reports back — no manual prompt copying.

@codex add idempotency keys to the retry job
read thread history (42 msgs)
opened branch fix/idempotency
3 files changed · +84 −12
◌ awaiting test evidence
Step 03 — Lineage

Inspect live git lineage

Commit cards, branch references and PR summaries render inside the conversation stream as interactive elements. Progress without leaving the task boundary.

Step 04 — Governance

Enforce governance & audit gates

Tasks cannot progress through workflow stages without explicit test evidence and human sign-off. An undeniable audit trail for every billable change.

GATE · READY FOR RELEASE
✔ Test evidence attached
✔ Client scope confirmed
○ Human sign-off — Trevor
BLOCKED — NO GATE, NO RELEASE
Inside Mandek

The work item is the workspace.

The execution environment where chat, git lineage, and AI agents run inside the task — eliminating tool fragmentation entirely.

Issue #1042 — Prevent Duplicate Billing Events on Webhook Timeout
TODAY
Ja
JaredDev Lead
Hey @Trevor, we saw your ticket regarding the Stripe webhook throwing 504 timeouts under heavy load. It looks like duplicate invoices are generating because our current retry logic isn't idempotent.
Tr
TrevorClient · Ops Lead
Yeah, we caught three double-charges yesterday. Here's the PRD constraint: we need an idempotency key header (X-Mandek-Retry-ID) on all retry payloads, and the retry cap must be set to 3 max attempts.
Ja
Jared
Got it. Scope updated in the task record. Locking scope so we can start execution.

@claude Read the PRD attachment on idempotency keys. Implement the header logic, update the webhooks retry handler, and write tests for duplicate payload dropping.

Why Mandek

Work doesn't fail because people don't care. It fails because nothing enforces what must happen next.

Claude · Cursor
↳ 14 context switches to start work
↳ 1 single work record
Replaces Slack & Jira for devs · Connects directly to Git & agents
Fragmented context breaks execution.

The Friction — Legacy issue trackers and isolated chat tools treat context as fragile webhooks — forcing devs to paste specs between Slack, Linear, Jira and Cursor.

The Mandek Fix — A native execution environment where AI agents, PRs and client scope live inside a single, un-fragmented record.

The Friction — A Kanban board showing "Done" won't stop unreviewed AI code from hitting staging and breaking releases.

The Mandek Fix — Hard delivery gates that physically block task state transitions until test evidence and human sign-offs are attached.

The Friction — AI agents operating in isolated chat windows write code against outdated assumptions, burning billable hours.

The Mandek Fix — Native agent execution directly inside task streams, backed by live Git lineage and an undeniable audit trail.
