An engineer, an AI robot holding a compass, and a business professional gathered together, finding their bearings

Guide

Find your bearing. Guide is an AI agent that understands your organization's engineering standard. That standard holds the skills, levels, and expectations that define what good looks like. Career guidance, output review, and onboarding grounded in your actual context.

A promotion conversation ends with 'not yet' but no specifics. You cannot tell what evidence would change the answer. An agent delivers a PR. You can only tell whether it meets the quality bar if you read every line. Guide resolves both. It grounds career advice and output review in the organization's actual engineering standard.

What becomes possible

For Empowered Engineers

Get guidance and evidence grounded in your organization's standard. The guidance does not come from impressions or generic advice. Verify agent work against the standard. You then review by exception. You do not review by default.

  • Gap analysis between current level and target, with specific skill recommendations
  • Skill assessment that interprets engineering activity against standard markers
  • Onboarding orientation grounded in actual team expectations
  • Output review that checks deliverables against the organizational quality bar

Getting Started

npm install @forwardimpact/guide
npx fit-codegen generate --all
npx fit-guide --init

Guide needs gRPC service clients that fit-codegen generates. It also needs a configuration scaffold that fit-guide --init creates. After setup, authenticate with Anthropic. Then process your standard data. See the Getting Started guide for engineers for the full walkthrough.

After you configure it, use Guide from any of three surfaces:

npx fit-guide                         # CLI (Claude Agent SDK)
# Or connect via Claude Code / Claude Chat using the MCP endpoint
