A defensive publication co-authored with Elia Secchi, released on the Technical Disclosure Commons in October 2026. This work proposes a programmatic interface designed to enable automated coding agents to efficiently orchestrate software development and deployment lifecycles.
Abstract
Automated coding agents can encounter friction and inefficiency when using software development tools, such as command-line interfaces, that are architected for human interaction. A unified, programmatic interface can be provided for consumption by these agents to orchestrate a software development and deployment lifecycle. The interface can operate based on principles optimized for machine interaction, such as non-interactive execution and the generation of structured, machine-parsable outputs, for example, in a JavaScript Object Notation format. By abstracting disparate underlying tools into a coherent command surface, this approach may create a more predictable environment, which can reduce computational costs and improve the reliability of automated software production.
