Verity

Prompt to production, proven.

Verity is a way to have an AI build real software for you — and not stop at "the code is written," but keep going until the software is tested, running, and proven to actually work. This guide explains what it is and how it works, assuming you know almost nothing about coding.

The Brain the AI

The smart part — it talks to you, makes decisions, and writes the actual code. Like a brilliant employee who is also a little forgetful: in a long conversation it can lose track of what's been done.

The Notebook the verity tool

A small ordinary program (no AI). It's the checklist that never forgets: it tracks the rules, knows what's allowed to happen next, and keeps the official record of progress.

Verity's trick: because the AI is forgetful, it never trusts its own memory for "what's done." It reads the truth from GitHub (the place the code lives) every time. So a brand-new conversation — or a teammate's AI — can pick up exactly where things left off. Nothing drifts, nothing lies.

Because everything lives on GitHub, using Verity needs a free GitHub account plus the GitHub command-line tool, signed in. The companion Usage Guide has a 30-second setup check.
