npm install -g @10et/cli

Setup agents

tenet setup

TENET scans your codebase and auto-creates agents with gradient:

Detected: TypeScript, 1,414 tests, jest
Created agent: test-coverage (baseline: 12.8%)
Created agent: code-quality (baseline: 0.485)

✓ 2 agents with gradient — ready to improve

Each agent gets a TOML config and an eval script that measures a real metric.

Run your first loop

tenet peter agent test-coverage --rounds 3

Watch it work:

Round 1  Baseline: 12.8%
         Agent: added 48 test cases for config loader
         After: 13.1% (+0.3%)  KEPT ✓

Round 2  Baseline: 13.1%
         Agent: added tests but broke type checking
         After: 12.9% (-0.2%)  REVERTED ✗

Round 3  Baseline: 13.1%
         Agent: added edge case tests for API client
