Agentic Veritas

The Engine That Compiles What You Mean

Intent compilation, uncertainty detection, and truth verification -- so agents know what you mean, how confident they should be, and what is actually true.

Why AgenticVeritas

Every AI agent guesses what you mean. You say "build an API" and the agent picks a framework, a database, an auth strategy, and a deployment target -- without asking. When the result does not match your intent, you blame the model. But the model was never given a precise specification of what you wanted.

The current fixes do not work. System prompts give context -- but they cannot resolve ambiguity. Few-shot examples show patterns -- but they cannot detect when the user's intent is genuinely uncertain. Chain-of-thought reasoning explains steps -- but it cannot flag the assumptions it made along the way.

Current AI: Guesses intent and presents results with false confidence. AgenticVeritas: Compiles intent into precise specifications, flags uncertainty, resolves ambiguity through clarification, and verifies claims against evidence.

Quickstart

cargo install agentic-veritas-cli
veritas --help

Problems Solved (Read This First)

• Problem: agents interpret ambiguous prompts by guessing, producing results that miss the user's intent. Solved: intent compilation parses natural language into structured domain, entity, constraint, and operation specifications -- ambiguity is detected before execution.
• Problem: agents present all answers with equal confidence, even when they are uncertain. Solved: uncertainty detection scores every claim with calibrated confidence, and flags statements that lack supporting evidence.
• Problem: agents cannot distinguish verified facts from inferred assumptions. Solved: truth verification separates claims into verified, supported, unsupported, and contradicted categories with evidence chains.
• Problem: agents cannot reason about cause and effect in user requirements. Solved: causal reasoning traces dependency chains between requirements, detecting when one decision forces or prevents another.
• Problem: there is no way to know what questions the agent should have asked but did not. Solved: ambiguity detection identifies gaps, presents clarifying questions, and uses defaults transparently when the user does not respond.
