Exemplar Dev

Welcome to the Exemplar Dev documentation.

Exemplar Platform

Exemplar Platform is the control plane for harness engineering in Agentic DevOps. It has two modules you can buy together (Full Platform) or separately:

Harness — AI operations control plane: gateway, prompts, skills, memory, context, evals, and guardrails—with SDK and CLI surfaces for frameworks and terminal workflows. Hub: exemplar.dev/harness .
Tools & MCP — Governed MCP tools from connectors—one endpoint for agent frameworks and MCP clients (Cursor, Claude, and more).
Automation Studio — No-code / low-code agent orchestrator: build, trace, and approve workflows on a graph canvas in the console.
Relay — See, control, and prove what Cursor and Claude coding agents do: bash, path, MCP, and prompt controls before side effects, with audit replay. Hub: exemplar.dev/relay .

Platform overview

Describe intent — Engineers or AI agents state what they need from the IDE; the platform resolves context via live graph query.
Policy gate — The policy engine evaluates intent against integrated sources (AWS, GitHub, Snyk, Jira, Notion, Linear, Confluence) and approves or blocks before any change runs.
Execute and audit — Approved actions run as controlled operations (restart, scale, rotate secrets, trigger pipelines) with a full record of who, what, when, and evidence—the same rules for humans and AI.
Context lake — AWS, GitHub, Snyk, Jira, Notion, Linear, and Confluence data converge in one graph so operations and agents share current service context.
Automation and governance — DevX Assist actions (restart, scale, rotate secrets, trigger pipelines) run through policy, approvals, and an audit log—not ad hoc shell access.

Exemplar is a unified developer platform for harness engineering, coding-agent governance, and AI-assisted DevX Assist workflows—governed end to end by Harness and Relay.

Core areas include:

Harness — Gateway, prompts, skills, memory, context, evals, guardrails, plus SDK and CLI for production agents on any framework.
Tools & MCP — Out-of-box connector tools on a unified MCP endpoint—efficient, governed, and usable from frameworks or MCP clients.
Automation Studio — Visual agent orchestrator: triggers, logic, connectors, agents, human approval, live trace, and publish.
Relay — Bash, path, MCP, and prompt controls for Cursor and Claude coding agents, with seats, policy, and audit replay.
DevX Assist — AI-assisted operational workflows, Copilot / MCP in the IDE, and planned self-service production actions.
Team and organization management — Organization members, invitations, teams, API tokens, and account-level settings.

AI Copilot for DevX Assist extends these workflows into editors and AI clients via MCP.
