About AI Engineering Standard

A documentation-first, open working specification for production AI delivery — SDLC gates, context engineering, agents, evaluation, MCP, and enterprise governance.

Working standard
Platform Mandate

The LLM is one component. The harness is the product.

AIES is maintained in the open so engineering organizations can fork one standardized harness — prompts, skills, agentHooks, context graphs, and evaluation artifacts — eliminating private dialects and silent regressions.
