Product Overview
What is Telos?
Telos lets engineering teams manage software through persistent, versioned goals rather than individual coding tasks. Teams define requirements, acceptance checks, and constraints, while agents handle implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. It works with existing coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex, providing persistent execution environments and keeping deployed software aligned with evolving specifications.
Key Features
Goal-Based Development
Define software outcomes, acceptance criteria, and constraints as versioned specifications that guide implementation and maintenance.
Full Lifecycle Automation
Delegate building, testing, deployment, and ongoing requirement checks to agents instead of stopping at code generation.
Persistent Agent Environments
Each goal receives a persistent virtual machine with checkpoint recovery, a stable hostname, and default-deny outbound networking.
Coding Agent Integration
Use Claude Code, Codex, or another coding agent to create goals, review plans, apply updates, and inspect execution logs.
Flexible Model Access
Choose Telos-managed models, supported connected subscriptions, or your own API keys from providers including OpenAI and Anthropic.
Versioned Team Packages
Share specifications, skills, and evaluation rubrics as versioned packages with exact revision references.
Use Cases
- Service Delivery : Build and deploy services from defined requirements, with acceptance checks guiding implementation and release readiness.
- Ongoing Software Maintenance : Periodically check deployed applications against their specifications and let agents address gaps as requirements evolve.
- Agent Workflow Coordination : Give teams using coding agents a shared workflow for reviewing proposed changes and tracking goal revisions.
- Engineering Standardization : Reuse packaged specifications, skills, and evaluation criteria to apply consistent requirements across multiple projects.
