Autopilot: AI agent workloads on Hangar
Autopilot is Hangar’s sixth product: it runs any AI agent workload, bounded and audited, and it drives the Airframe A+ program that makes the service catalog operable by agents.
One idea: an agent is one more author of git commits. Durable changes are commits. Ephemeral runs are claims to Crossplane. Everything else follows from keeping those two planes apart.
Brand: the mark is Option A, Hold, chosen 2026-09-26; the five options considered are in docs/brand/autopilot-logo-options.html (open in a browser), and the files are in brand/marks/.
Code: github.com/jfillman/autopilot (public; the clearance Python package, agent definitions, Preflight cases, the AppSpec planner, AgentRun drafts). Status (2026-09-26): M0 is nearly done; see the roadmap status block. New: release-file-split.md (designed and proven), briefings-d6-d10.md (two decisions for you).
Read in this order
| Doc | Read this when… |
|---|---|
| roadmap.md | You want the plan: milestones M0 to M5, dependencies, decisions, unverified items, and the first ten actions. |
| airframe-ai-friendly.md | You want the A+ program: the measured baseline, the ten workstreams, and the design. |
| release-file-split.md | You want to know how machine-owned and human-owned values will live in separate files, and the live proof. |
| briefings-d6-d10.md | You need to decide D6 (model hub) or D10 (when strictness starts blocking). |
| design.md | You want the Autopilot design: two planes, the workload model, tiers, policy, backends, failure modes. |
| skyport-ai-workloads.md | You want the six demo agents, one per workload shape, and their tests. |
| glossary.md | A term is unfamiliar. |
| diagrams/index.html | You want pictures: 8 plan diagrams, 19 for Autopilot, 10 reference. |
