Team
A small lab, deliberately
TSOK is run as a community, not a company — a few humans setting direction and reviewing, agents doing the operational work. That asymmetry is the point.
How we work
Three habits
RFC-driven
Significant changes start as written design docs. The RFC corpora across our repositories are the lab’s actual research output — decisions with reasons attached.
Agents in the loop
We build agent infrastructure by operating it: AI agents research, implement, and review work here every day, under the oversight patterns we publish.
Honest labels
Every project carries its real maturity. Numbers over adjectives; measured stats over marketing claims; sandbox means sandbox.
Join
Work with us in the open.
No hiring pipeline — contribution is the interview. Pick a sandbox project, file honest friction, write an RFC digest.
