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 — 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 — unclear what evidence would change the answer. An agent delivers a PR and the only way to tell whether it meets the quality bar is reading every line. Guide resolves both by grounding 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, not impressions or generic advice. Verify agent work against the standard so you review by exception, not 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 --all
npx fit-guide --init

Guide needs gRPC service clients generated by fit-codegen and a configuration scaffold created by fit-guide --init. After setup, authenticate with Anthropic and process your standard data — see the Getting Started guide for engineers for the full walkthrough.

Once configured, 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
