ODS

Three weeks ago I introduced Open Delivery Spec (ODS), my side project for governing AI-assisted code in CI. Since then the CLI has shipped 5 releases and grown two new pillars: deterministic merge-confidence signals that answer “is this AI PR safe to merge?”, and an auto-generated, standards-based evidence document on every PR. As always, this post sticks to what actually ships — no hype.

Over the past few months, I’ve been working on an open-source organization called Open Delivery Spec (ODS) in my spare time. The initiative stemmed from the increasing volume of AI-generated code and the lack of reliable governance mechanisms within teams. This article records the thought process, progress, and boundaries based on the project’s real-world status, without any exaggeration.
