Node, model, and target-app concepts keep state durable, local, and readable.
Product Guide
How Refine works.
Refine is a local operating layer for agentic software delivery. It turns product gaps into durable work, gives agents enough context to act, keeps processes observable, and uses Git, review, governance, and quality checks to make automation inspectable.
The Model
One product, three layers.
Capabilities
Process, agents, and workflow are shared powers that every surface can use.
Surfaces
CLI, browser, API, desktop, and agent interfaces adapt the same underlying system.
