    What is Tessl?

    Info

    Takeaways

    • What are the core components of the Tessl platform?
    • What problems do those components solve?
    • Why choose Tessl over the alternatives?

    Tessl is an open platform for managing agentic development across your organization. It takes you from scaling skills to building your software factory, one workflow at a time.

    Tessl works with every popular coding agent and is made up of six components:

    ComponentWhat it is
    Registry & package managerDiscover, install, version, and roll back skills and plugins like any other dependency. One searchable index of public and private context, agent-agnostic.
    GovernanceScan and score every skill against best practices and your own company standards, with Snyk security scoring built in. RBAC controls who can create, publish, and view skills, while install and publish policies and required skills enforce your standards across every workspace, backed by a full audit trail.
    EvalsMeasure a skill or plugin's actual impact by running your agent on real-world tasks with and without the context. Every change ships with evidence instead of a guess.
    ObservabilitySee where skills actually activate across agent sessions, not just where they're installed. Mine agent logs to find recurring mistakes.
    Context and FindingsConnect SCM accounts to map skills and configuration across repositories, then inspect reported drift, overlap, and unmanaged copies at the Organization level.
    Tessl AgentA conversational agent that drives the platform and autonomously monitors and improves your agentic setup. Runs alongside your existing agents (open beta).

    What problems does Tessl solve?

    See how Tessl solves the most common agentic development problems:

    Why Tessl?

    • Context as code. Skills, rules, and docs are versioned, reviewed, and rolled out with the same rigor as code dependencies.
    • Built for enterprise realities. RBAC, install and publish policies, security scoring, and a full audit trail are first class tools, not bolted on after the fact.
    • Agent-agnostic. Skills and plugins work across every popular coding agent. Write context once; Tessl distributes it everywhere.
    • Open, no lock-in. Tessl builds on open standards and writes your skills, rules, and config as plain artifacts in your repo, so you own your agent setup and can walk away with it at any time.
    • Incremental adoption. Start with a single skill or a one-repo review gate and expand outward. Value compounds as you go, with no big migration required.

    Get started

    Set up Tessl: create your account, install the CLI, and initialize Tessl in your project. Then improve your first skill and work through the tutorials for the problem you're solving.
