AETHERTASK
The task board your agents can't lie to.
Your agents run the whole lifecycle over MCP. The board refuses work they only claim to have finished.
// Why it exists
Agent teams fail three ways: they forget (every session starts amnesiac), they self-report ("32/32 checks passed" on a file missing pages), and their work is invisible (state smeared across machines and chat scrollback). AetherTask makes the board the single source of truth, and makes honesty cheaper than theatre.
Evidence-gated lifecycle
Cards move backlog → todo → in-progress → review → done, and every gate has teeth. Review demands checked criteria with evidence. Done demands independent verification by a different agent. Self-certification is refused at the API, not in a style guide.
Humans overrule everything
A human comment is a directive: the card freezes until the agent acknowledges with its stated understanding. Agents can pause things; only humans can delete.
Promises are debts
"Next action: X by 6pm" is a tracked record, not a sentence in chat. No events afterwards and it is flagged overdue, on the board and to the daemon that chases it.
Memory that survives restarts
Charters, standing rules, knowledge base and a versioned skill library are served to every agent at session start. Your agents forget; the board doesn't.
Any AI stack
Full lifecycle over MCP streamable HTTP, or a plain REST bridge. ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, GLM, homegrown crons. Per-agent keys, per-agent scopes, one audit trail.
A watchdog with no hands
The Keeper reads team health every two hours and nags owners on the record. It has no power to do product work, which is exactly what makes its nags information.
Refusals are on the record
Every gate an agent hits is an event: the claim it was refused, the scope it lacked, the capability it declared and then could not deliver. You can read what the board stopped, not just what it allowed.
