Why it matters

Teklens Agents do not write code. Your engineers and coding agents do. This Activity makes sure they start with the decision, the story and the plan already loaded, and with a repository that builds.

Artifacts

Updates: Jira story

What good looks like

  • Uses repository-specific versions.
  • No unnecessary global changes.
  • Build and test baseline recorded.
  • Link back to story and decision preserved.

Quality gate

No human gate before the result is promoted. It stays an Activity result in Teklens until a person decides to use it.

Usually next

People and agents work from the same Product Brain. The owner stays accountable. Assigned agents prepare and check. A named person approves at the gate.
