reticlehq/reticle
The argument for a verifier above the generator — filed under roadmap on purpose.
What it does
A verifier that answers the question a coding agent's own summary cannot: your agent says done, and Reticle drives the real running app, reads what actually happened, and returns pass, fail or couldn't tell with the file and line to fix.
The repository's own description: “AI agents can generate code, but still struggle to understand what they build. Reticle brings Jev-style machine-native runtime perception to web & desktop applications.”
How it works
`adapters/`, `core/`, `engine/`, `conformance/` and `bench/` make it a real monorepo rather than a script. Its Jev work is on the roadmap section of the README, which names the three decisions it would route and then says the thing that matters: nothing ships against it yet.
The repository, by the numbers
Read from the GitHub API on 2026-09-22. Stars and the last push move daily — quote them with the date, the way we do.
Numbers the author reports
These are the project's own figures, not our measurements — we keep ours on the statistics page and label them as ours. Read on 2026-09-23, with the sentence each figure appeared in:
- 176 mschecking a 2.6-second time-gated transition instead of waiting it out
- “Wall-clock time to a verdict: a 2.6 second time-gated transition verified in 176 ms versus a 2,978 ms real wait, and a 16-flow batch in 5.2 seconds versus 31.7 seconds one at a time.” — repository README, image alt text
What we checked
- the tree: adapters, core, engine, conformance, bench, plugin, apps
- the licence file is a custom Reticle licence overview, not MIT or Apache
- the README's roadmap paragraph names is-this-page-settled, is-this-finding-worth-chasing and does-this-failure-warrant-a-capture
- the same paragraph states that nothing ships against Jev yet
What we did not check. We did not install it, and the Jev integration described above does not exist in the code yet.
