Welcome to the Cobweb Wiki 🕸️

Cobweb (AgentPM) is the orchestration layer that treats agents like a project — critical path, earned value, budget gates, and stage gates, built in.

Why Cobweb?

Multi-agent systems keep hitting the same four unsolved problems:

Problem	Current state	Cobweb's answer
Orchestration failure	Ad-hoc task graphs	WBS + CPM (dependency analysis, critical path)
No observability	"It's running somewhere"	EVM (CPI, SPI, EAC — real-time health)
No identity/permissions	All agents are admin	RACI+G (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed, Gatekeeper)
Cost explosion	"We burned $400 overnight"	Budget gates + stage gates (alert → abort → failover)

Core insight: these "new" agent problems are old Project Management problems — and PM already solved them decades ago.
