Who IRIS Is For

What this means for you
IRIS is for the engineer who already runs more than one agent in production and is tired of pasting prompts into a notebook to remember which version shipped.
The pitch
You are past the demo. You have a real workflow with two or three agents, a reviewer, and a failure mode you want to catch before it reaches a user. IRIS gives that workflow a shape.
Who it’s for
The senior engineer or tech lead at a small AI team — the person who would otherwise be writing a YAML loader and a hash function from scratch this quarter.
Proof points
- Built for teams running more than one agent — the schema makes a single-agent setup feel like overkill
- Python 3.11+ and TypeScript SDKs ship together — covers the two languages most agent teams already use
- Fourteen CLI commands shipped at v0.1.0 — every action a tech lead needs is keyboard-driven, not dashboard-driven
