The IDE designed for modern digital work

Keep track of everything your agents make.

Asterplant helps you manage your agents’ work better. It is a VS Code fork that lets you focus on the design, planning and review of your projects. It learns the corrections you keep repeating and turns them into rules your agents follow.

72 invoices · 64 matched by rule · 8 for a person · amount against days to match

Retry backoff

A failed payment call is retried with a growing wait, and it stops after five tries.

The rule

Wait one second, then double the wait each time.
Never wait longer than 30 seconds.
Send the fifth failure to a person.

delay = min(base * 2 ** attempt, 30)

See retryQueue.ts for the code.

Comment on what your agents wrote

A new report waits in Artifacts until you open it. Comment on a passage and send it to the agent in one paste. When the agent rewrites the passage, the page updates and the comment is marked Changed.
