Git-versioned specifications that stay readable to people and precise enough for coding agents.
Phoebe Lab
A reproducible LLM research journal with pinned sources, measurements, evidence, and verdicts.
Areas of work
Knowledge & evidence
Retrieval and structured query systems that keep claims linked to source evidence.
Developer infrastructure
Specifications and tooling for reproducible, agent-assisted software development.
Big ideas, small pragmatic steps.
Frame
Turn the broad ambition into a claim that can be disproved.
Build
Make the smallest system that exposes the hard part.
Measure
Test on real workloads and preserve the evidence.
Compound
Promote what survives into reusable product and infrastructure.
