Open-source Mission Control blueprint orchestrates Claude agents with human gates and two-stage verification
gerardsans · x · 2026-11-12
Gerard Sans open-sourced Mission Control, a reference implementation and control-plane blueprint for "Slow Engineering" engineering, built as the closing demo of the Axiom Masterclass at GoTech World 2026.
Key architecture:
- Headless Claude Agent SDK workers, each editing code in an isolated git worktree
- State streamed to an Angular 21 client via AG-UI over SSE
- An in-process MCP human gate that pauses runs mid-tool-call using asyncio.Future
- Two-stage verification: deterministic AST/entropy oracles followed by an independent cross-model Gemini review
- A Gemini Live bridge for voice approvals and webcam/screen-share "Whiteboard-to-PR" synthesis
The author stresses it's a teaching proof-of-concept, not a product — it only operates on the sample repo it creates. Setup takes 10 minutes with Node 20.19+, Python 3.10+, and a Google AI Studio key; runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
