DevPulse

Purpose: Orchestration hub for the AIPass ecosystem Module: aipass.devpulse Status: Active

Overview

DevPulse is the central coordination branch for AIPass. It plans, delegates, and tracks work across all 10 branches in the ecosystem. Think of it as the project manager — it doesn't build modules itself, but dispatches work to branch agents, monitors results, and maintains system-wide visibility.

What DevPulse Does

Cross-branch orchestration — Dispatch tasks to branches via AI Mail + wake
System-wide planning — Create and manage flow plans (FPLANs) for multi-phase work
Status tracking — Dashboard, dev notes, session history
Architecture discussions — Work with Patrick on design decisions
Agent coordination — Deploy sub-agents in parallel for research and builds

DevPulse has no apps/ directory — it's a manager branch, not a builder. It coordinates via dispatch and sub-agents rather than implementing code.

Commands

# System status
drone systems                    # List all registered branches
drone @seedgo verify             # Verify standards packs
drone @seedgo audit aipass       # Run full standards audit

# Flow plans
drone @flow create . "Subject"              # Create plan (default template)
drone @flow create . "Subject" master       # Create master plan (multi-phase)
drone @flow list                            # List active plans
drone @flow close FPLAN-XXXX                # Close a plan

# Dispatch work
drone @ai_mail send @target "Subject" "Body" --dispatch
drone @ai_mail dispatch wake @target        # Wake branch agent
drone @ai_mail dispatch wake --fresh @target  # Fresh session

# Branch management
drone @spawn create <path>       # Create new branch from template
drone @spawn update @branch      # Update branch scaffold
drone @spawn delete @branch      # Archive + deregister branch

Integration Points

Depends On

aipass.prax — Logging (all logging goes through prax)
aipass.ai_mail — Inter-branch communication + dispatch
aipass.flow — Plan creation and tracking
aipass.drone — Command routing to all branches
aipass.spawn — Branch lifecycle management
aipass.seedgo — Standards verification

Coordinates

All 10 branches: drone, seedgo, prax, cli, flow, ai_mail, api, trigger, spawn, devpulse

Role

DevPulse is a manager branch, not a builder. It delegates code tasks to sub-agents and branch agents. Its context window is reserved for coordination, planning, and architecture — not for reading and editing files across the codebase.
