Agent Discovery Build Plan

This is the remaining build plan after the agent-discovery sprint.

North Star

Make agent payments safe enough to ship.

If an agent can move money across any rail, Monarch is the safety gate before it goes live.

Step 1: Agent Discovery Sprint

Status: in progress.

Build:

• Official GitHub Action.
• Stable Agent Skill.
• Short high-intent action docs.
• Free tier and pricing ladder page.

Deep QA before push:

npm run qa

npm run discovery:check:full

Push only after GitHub Pages deploy passes and live docs are verified.

Step 2: Local MCP Server

Goal: let Cursor, Claude, and other agent tools call Monarch as local tools.

Build:

• MCP tool: doctor.
• MCP tool: scan.
• MCP tool: sandbox.
• MCP tool: policy_explain.
• Docs page with Cursor and Claude setup.
• Tests for tool responses and failure paths.

Deep QA before push:

npm test

npm run monarch:doctor

npm run discovery:check

npm run build

Step 3: Hosted Proof MVP

Goal: turn free usage into credible proof-of-demand.

Build:

• Project token.
• Reported run intake tied to project token.
• Public/private proof page.
• Last 100 runs.
• Rails detected.
• Unsafe paths blocked.
• CI badge endpoint.

Deep QA before push:

npm run qa

npm run test:worker

npm run discovery:check:full

Step 4: Team Proof And Policy

Goal: give teams a reason to pay without charging for local Doctor.

Build:

• Team projects.
• Longer run history.
• Slack/webhook alerts.
• Shared policy packs.
• Approval records.
• Audit exports.

Deep QA before push:

npm run qa

npm audit --audit-level=moderate

Step 5: Runtime Enforcement

Goal: move from build-time preflight to production payment policy.

Build:

• POST /policy/check.
• Signed decision IDs.
• allow, caution, block, and route.
• Policy versioning.
• Runtime attestations.

Deep QA before push:

npm run qa

npm run discovery:check:full

Rule

Every major step gets its own QA, commit, push, deploy watch, and live verification.
