Consort

Consort, a spec-first, test-driven agent framework for building transactional applications on Lakebase-paired projects: a deterministic orchestrator drives role agents through a spec-first design lane (Spec Driven Development) and a Test Driven Development build lane (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR) that runs against a live copy-on-write branch of a real, governed Lakebase database (Databricks' serverless Postgres/OLTP database, not the Delta Lakehouse), composed with paired-branch primitives (cheap experiments, parent-aware schema diff, real per-branch databases). The controls are code the agent cannot edit: gates fail closed, tests are immutable within a unit of work, and a green result is a real test run against real data. Spec-first means the spec is drafted, reviewed, and frozen at gates before any build cycle runs; the spec, the architecture, and the database all evolve increment over increment. Use when planning a new feature, running design-spec gates, running TDD cycles, comparing parallel experiments, or detecting build bad smells. Imports software-design-principles canon. Builds on lakebase-scm-workflows.
