Lab Z

Versioned agent systems.
Observable execution.

CrewDefine produces validated multi-agent configurations. Zero executes them with persistent workspaces, structured outputs, and live traces. Reference implementations and working papers document the system.

CrewDefine

Interview-driven crew design. Emits validated YAML, answer modes, and output composition Zero can load without hand-edits.

Reproducible example

Run Technical Due Diligence locally.

The script loads an eight-agent engineering review configuration with two deterministic audit tools, then starts Zero with Docker Compose.

cp .env.example .env   # set GEMINI_API_KEY and/or OPENAI_API_KEY
./scripts/demo.sh

Installation and verification Configuration details

System properties

Configuration is part of the product.

Agent behavior, tool access, delegation, and output shape are explicit artifacts rather than instructions embedded in an opaque conversation.

Schema

Versioned behavior

Agent responsibilities, allowed tools, delegation edges, and answer modes are reviewed as source-controlled configuration.

Interfaces

Constrained tool use

Deterministic calculations and external data access are exposed through named, inspectable interfaces rather than generated ad hoc.

Observability

Execution traces

Zero records agent and tool activity during a run so failures can be localized to a role, interface, provider, or synthesis step.

Implementation services

Domain configuration and integration

A fixed-scope engagement to specify agent roles, implement tool interfaces, define output contracts, deploy the configuration in Zero, and document operation.
