lockstep-cli

The CLI for Lockstep — one source of truth for every engineering decision, read by every human and every AI agent before work starts.

Lockstep captures decisions automatically from Slack, Notion, Jira, and pull requests, gets each one confirmed by its owner, briefs any MCP-compatible coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, and others) at session start, and flags work that contradicts a Locked decision before it ships.

Install
