Five features,
one harness

What every team gets when it installs Vinaya

01 / 05

Log

Every check, review and decision written down as it happens, with who made it.

Telemetry

The same events, counted for a milestone: how long each ticket took, what the reviewers caught, how often the checks said no.

Self-improvement

What the reports add up to: the Improver reads them and proposes changes to the process. A person approves, and each one goes back to product.

Configuration

One file turns the harness on: process, agents, forge, log and gates.

Dev Process

The Vinaya process comes with the harness: four stages, every gate runs, every step written down in the Log.

Who it’s for

For the engineer

You ship the feature

You define the milestone and ground it in tasks. Agents write and review. You control the merge.

For the tech lead

Your standards, enforced

Your standards become checks every pull request must pass.

For the founder

One process

The feature lands through one process, so you can still answer why it shipped.

Underneath the loop runs Atta Engine, the generic workflow runtime: checkpoints, halt and resume, recovery. It holds no Vinaya policy.
