ratchet:tighten

What problem does it solve?

Tighten the ratchet centralizes and prioritizes improvement signals across a Ratchet workspace so maintainers can convert debate history, CI failures, PR feedback, retros, and escalations into concrete, safe fixes that reduce recurring issues and improve agent prompts, guards, and workflow configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Signal aggregation: Collects debates, retros, escalations, executions, discoveries, and PR-specific CI and review data from the .ratchet directory and GitHub.
• Analyst + verifier pipeline: Produces a prioritized plan with an analyst (generative) that proposes fixes and an adversarial verifier that fact-checks findings before any edits.
• Automated changes with human guardrails: Prepares prompt edits, guard additions, workflow.yaml changes, retros, and optional caveman token-compression, always asking for user confirmation before writing or committing.
• Persistence and reporting: Writes retros/reports, creates discoverable sidequests for skipped findings, stages .ratchet changes and offers commit/PR workflows.
• Use case examples: Triaging a failing PR to decide if the failure is caused by the PR, sharpening adversarial validation commands, and compressing verbose pair prompts to save tokens.

Quick Start
