# Co-Aligned Engineers & Coding Agents


> "The volume and complexity of what we know has exceeded our individual
> ability to deliver its benefits correctly, safely, or reliably."
>
> — Atul Gawande, _The Checklist Manifesto_

An instruction architecture standard for creating aligned coding agents —
grounded in Jobs To Be Done and The Checklist Manifesto — that
keeps humans and agents aligned to the progress each persona seeks, and keeps
that alignment under load.

Co-Aligned builds on the [Monorepo](https://www.monorepo.team/) repository
structure and is the upstream architecture that the
[Kata Agent Team](https://www.kata.team/) implements.
