What is Dokugent?

Dokugent CLI is a documentation-first command-line tool designed to help developers build, coordinate, and verify AI agents through structured, human-readable formats like Markdown and JSON.

Core Idea

Dokugent treats agent development like software documentation: every plan, rule, and constraint is scaffolded, versioned, and certifiable. Rather than relying on ad hoc scripts or buried configs, Dokugent helps you:

  • Structure agent workflows using Markdown and metadata
  • Define what “good output” looks like
  • Validate logic, security, and intent before deployment
  • Certify agents with signed, reproducible files

What Does It Do?

Dokugent CLI includes commands for:

  • init — start an agent folder scaffold
  • plan — design agent workflows step-by-step
  • criteria — define what makes a good response
  • conventions — record model-specific behavior
  • preview — simulate and check expected output
  • certify — sign agents with digital trust
  • compile — prepare agents for runtime bundling

Upcoming: - simulate, dryrun, trace — for deeper insight into agent behavior

Why Use Dokugent?

AI agents are powerful but unpredictable. Dokugent is built to reduce risk, promote safety, and make agents explainable and verifiable — especially in production or regulated environments.

It’s ideal for teams who want:

  • Human-in-the-loop oversight
  • Reproducibility and audit trails
  • Framework-agnostic agent definitions
  • Trust, traceability, and signing workflows
