The work

Code Colony

Code Colony renders a repository as a multiplayer AI-company simulation: regions, rooms, agent employees, jobs, risk, trust, and cost on a world map, with human approval gates at the spec and artifact boundaries.

A Code Colony worked example: a spec card, its runtime, a diff, and an artifact review with risk, tests, confidence and budget.
From the public Code Colony site. I built it alone.

The problem

Agent-run software work is invisible: you cannot see which agent is doing what, at what cost, with what risk, or where a human approval is required.

The Code Colony map: districts for Auth, Data, Frontend, Testing and Infra around a headquarters, each marked with its risk.

What runs underneath

A Convex backend with twenty mounted components, a container-backed sandbox Durable Object whose exec and clone endpoints are HMAC-authenticated, and an infrastructure-as-code stack that owns production DNS and deploys the Worker and Pages projects.

Still mocked, and it says so

The README publishes what is still mocked: multiplayer presence and votes, runtime execution, artifact diffs, tests, the cost ledger, and marketplace installs. It labels memory and repository scanning as partially real.
