The one-sentence mental model

Section titled “The one-sentence mental model”

Son-of-Anton lets AI run between explicit human decision gates. The human owns product direction, ticket approval, and final acceptance; the orchestrator owns worktrees, state, tests, review artifacts, PRs, and resumption.

Core model

Start with the three gates, the split between deterministic CLI and agent skills, and why durable artifacts beat chat memory.

Delivery workflow

Trace a phase from plan to decompose to ticket execution, adversarial review, stacked PRs, and closeout.

Hands-on entry

Find where concepts live in the repo and follow the smallest safe path toward a first contribution.

Command reference
