The pm-state repo now exists, so the last unverified path is proven: Reginald
records a directive to the real ledger.
- chat panel: the "consulted" activity line names record_directive as "the
directive ledger" (matching query_project → the project, propose_change → the labels).
- live-directive e2e (gated): a directive typed in chat → Reginald logs it and
says "recorded", consulting the directive ledger.
Verified live against gemma-4-26b + the commitea-pm-state repo: "freeze scope for
beta, pilots come first" appended to directives/log.jsonl as
{kind: scope, quote: <verbatim>, status: accepted} — logged, never claimed applied.
Reginald is now complete and every tool is verified end-to-end.

CommiTea
AI project manager built on Gitea. A deterministic scheduler does the math
(Monte Carlo forecasts over your own estimate-vs-actual history); the agent —
Reginald — captures work via interview, negotiates priorities, and explains the
consequences. Gitea holds human-authored intent; a pm-state repo holds
machine-derived state. The LLM never does math.
Structure
apps/desktop— Electron app (electron-vite, React, Tailwind)packages/core— pure TypeScript: label schema, scheduler, gitea client (no Electron imports)docs/PLAN.md— product plan (goals, phases, not-doing list)docs/design/— design handoff: tokens, component contracts, interactive prototype (docs/design/ui_kits/app/index.htmlvia a static server), brand voice rules indesign_system_readme.md
Development
yarn # install
yarn dev # electron app, logs tee to apps/desktop/desktop.log
yarn test # unit tests (vitest)
yarn typecheck
End-to-end (Electron + Playwright)
yarn workspace @commitea/desktop e2e # build, then drive the built app
yarn workspace @commitea/desktop e2e:only # reuse existing out/ build (tight loop)
yarn workspace @commitea/desktop e2e:report # open the last HTML report
Tests launch the built app (out/main/index.js) through Playwright's
_electron API — no browser project, no chromium download. Fixtures and page
objects live in apps/desktop/e2e/; screenshots land in
e2e/.artifacts/screens/ for visual review. Page objects use user-facing
locators (getByRole/getByText), never CSS/DOM structure.
Conventions
- Yarn 4 workspaces; ESM everywhere;
.jsextensions on relative imports @commitea/corestays pure — unit-testable without Electron or network- Design tokens are the source of truth (
apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/design/, mirrored fromdocs/design/); Tailwind maps onto the CSS custom properties, never redefines them - Reginald's voice rules live in
docs/design/design_system_readme.md— no emoji, no point-date forecasts, wit in sentences never in buttons
