Four things every team shipping with agents needs.

Solo builders and engineering teams keep reaching for the same four primitives. Arca ships them as one harness so the agents, the people, and the work stay in sync.

01

Persistence

One vault holds the project, the agents, and the documents. Sessions end; state stays. No work lost between runs.

02

Governance

Constitutions per manager, provider fences, claim tokens, and an append-only ledger. Agents act inside lines you set.

03

Agent management

Spawn, name, and retire managers and workers from one canvas. Each one keeps its role, its prompt, and its history.

04

Observability

Every frame, claim, and outcome is written to a timeline you can replay. See what an agent did, why, and when.

FIG 0.5

Two cohorts. One harness.

Arca is shaped by the two groups already shipping with agents today. The needs overlap; the surface is the same.

For solo builders

One operator. A fleet of agents.

Run a personal program desk: spawn agents for product, code, review, and release; keep the documents, the chat history, and the project state in one vault you own.

  • ·Project persistence
  • ·Agent governance
  • ·Document store
  • ·Provider fences
  • ·Run history replay
  • ·Local-first vault
For engineering teams

Humans and agents in one workflow.

For startup, midsize, and enterprise teams running a hybrid model: agents take the well-shaped work, engineers take the judgement calls, and the harness keeps the handoff legible.

  • ·Hybrid workflows
  • ·Workspace isolation
  • ·Review queues
  • ·Policy + audit log
  • ·Org-wide observability
  • ·BYO provider keys
FIG 1.0
1.0 Persistence →

Your project, agents, and documents in one vault.

Sessions end; state stays. Arca writes every agent, prompt, and document into a local-first vault you own, so a builder picks up tomorrow exactly where the agents left off tonight.

2.0 Agent management →

Spawn agents in role. Keep them in role.

Every agent has a named manager constitution that holds its role, prompt, and history. Solo builders run the full set themselves; teams assign disciplines per agent. Replies land in the same ledger, never a side channel.

Humans and agents on the same board.

Engineers take the judgement calls; agents take the well-shaped work. Drag a card to Review and the agents replan. The handoff stays legible and the queue stays one queue.

4.0 Governance →

Agents act inside the lines you set.

Constitutions, provider fences, claim tokens, cross-workspace fences, and an append-only ledger. Solo builders set the policy themselves; teams roll it out once and audit centrally.
