Turns work into multi-step assignments with nested substeps, fork delegation to long-running agent subprocesses, and inspectable session traces. Steps are defined from a catalog, assembled via presets, and driven through a restartable queue.

ace-b36ts encodes UTC timestamps into 2-8 character Base36 IDs that sort chronologically as plain strings. Seven formats from month to millisecond precision, with split output for hierarchical directory paths.

ace-compressor provides exact, compact, and agent context compression with benchmark comparison, producing structured ContextPack/3 output for efficient LLM context loading.

ace-coworker composes the existing ace-assign lifecycle, ace-task ref resolution, and ace-hitl reporting for a prepared executor role. It owns the .ace-local/coworker/ run configuration and renders the executor brief.

ace-demo records terminal sessions as reviewable proof-of-work artifacts, with sandbox-isolated YAML tapes and GitHub PR attachment for agent-driven evidence delivery.

ace-git gives developers and coding agents focused git context commands and guided workflows for rebases and commit reorganization, with smart diff output, a forge server registry, and a provider contract backed by pluggable provider gems.

ace-git-worktree creates isolated worktrees for tasks, pull requests, and branches, with task metadata updates, configurable hooks, and cleanup workflows for focused development.

Herdr agent orchestration with push delivery, agent bootstrap, dispatch, and a durable attempt-linked inbox for submission to the original Codex/Pi terminal, with explicit uncertain outcomes. Implements the ace-hitl provider delivery contract.

Pure HITL provider vocabulary shared by request orchestration and delivery adapters, without activating assignment or privileged HITL service dependencies.

ace-hitl-hermes treats the shared lab <-> hermes folder as the HITL transport: a message is a file, the address is <machine>/<folder>/<id>, delivery is push, and ACK is deletion. The plugin owns the channel registry, notification texts, and the versioned message formats (ace.hitl.hermes.message/v...

Lab environment package: read-only topology registry and capability router (stable project, agent, and service IDs from ADR-022 configuration), the lab status snapshot, and ace-lab prepare — idempotent preparation of accounts, directories, permissions, ed25519 keys, and role bindings from a root-...

ace-overseer streamlines focused task execution by provisioning task worktrees, tmux windows, and assignment workflows in one flow.

Run focused, repeatable code reviews using configurable presets and multiple LLM models in parallel. Findings become trackable feedback items with a verify-apply-resolve lifecycle.

One duck-typed intent API for terminal runtimes: adapter registry with fail-closed resolution, side-effect-free detection, shared name sanitization, typed errors, central send-matrix validation, the ace-runtime send callback CLI, and the shared adapter contract-test suite.

ace-search gives one command that auto-detects file vs content search, with preset support and git-aware filtering

ace-sim executes preset-driven simulation chains across multiple providers so teams can validate ideas, review tasks, and compare synthesis outcomes before taking action.

Provides safe, atomic markdown file operations with frontmatter extraction, section editing, and validation. Prevents file corruption through backup/rollback mechanisms.

ace-support-nav provides unified navigation and path resolution across the ACE ecosystem. It automatically discovers handbooks bundled within ace-* gems, resolves resource URIs to actual file paths, and supports a multi-level override cascade.

Wraps Minitest with smart grouping, cross-package resolution, and persistent reports so developers and coding agents can run focused checks, diagnose failures with context, and retain searchable execution history.

Runs package E2E scenarios through agents with reproducible setup, sandbox isolation, and structured reports for reliable validation workflows.
