Lead Dev is the autonomous manager of your engineering workforce. Hand off real, multi-file work, and get it back done, accountable, and held to the quality bar your team sets. The decisions that need you come to you. The rest, Lead Dev carries.
Codespeed is built to work with agents in the workflows you prefer, with the intelligence to automatically switch between them as the work requires.
When you need to stay close, work with Lead Dev in threads. Plan, review, set the bar for quality and run quality checks and adversarial reviews using easy model switching with a single click.
Keep work moving 24/7. Lead Dev breaks down the objective, assigns the right specialists, and returns work with the decisions your team needs to stay focused on the outcomes that matter.
Every step Lead Dev manages is visible in one place: the ask, the scoping, the specialist work, and what came back.
Can we harden grid operator auth before launch?
I will isolate console resume, SSO expiry, and the returning-operator dispatch path.
Token refresh drops the console session before dispatch restores. The fix is running in a preview.
Keep the expired SSO path after dispatch restore in the release checks.
Reviewable diff ready with SSO expiry covered and preview verification attached.
Your intent becomes a thread with context, constraints, and the review path attached.
When the work needs a skill your team is missing, Lead Dev stands up the specialist before the work starts.
The right specialists carry the work. Lead Dev checks what returns before you see it.
When judgment changes the outcome, the decision arrives with the context to make it.
Talk through the customer need, business pressure, product feel, and technical path. Lead Dev turns the conversation into a spec your team can steer before code starts.
Lead Dev checks assumptions, edge cases, standards, and high-stakes calls. When a decision needs another check, click and request a Second Opinion with quick select for any model anytime.
Work comes back checked against your Quality Gates and deterministic security checks, including deep provenance and reasoning behind decisions that show how and why work was governed by Lead Dev.
Specialists use the product by simulating real users in the browser, find broken flows, and learn from what your team accepts, corrects, or sends back.
On the decisions that set product direction or would be costly to reverse, Lead Dev runs an adversarial review: an approved model challenges the plan before anyone builds. It is one independent read, recorded with the work, and Lead Dev stays accountable for the call.
Lead Dev manages the project inside the level you set. Move the dial as Lead Dev earns trust, and your organization ceiling still applies above whatever a project chooses.
Changes stay prepared with a person in the loop before shared project state moves.
Routine work can move between checkpoints while review boundaries stay visible.
Verified work can keep moving until organization limits or active safety stops require review.
