How SwarmX (Fugue) turns a plain-English goal into sandboxed, coordinated, auditable AI work.
What is Coherence-First Intelligence? It's the discipline of never letting an AI team's autonomy outrun your ability to trust it — sandboxing by default, reserving files before they're touched, and reporting costs before they're spent.
Four failure modes we watched happen in real testing sessions — and built the Coherence Layer specifically to close.
A single agent has no natural edge — it will read, edit, or delete whatever it can reach unless something stops it.
Two agents editing the same project at once can overwrite each other's work with no record it ever happened.
Token costs accumulate with no warning — until an invoice reveals what already happened.
When something breaks, an ungoverned agent leaves you stranded with no plain-language way forward.
Acts on your files with no visible boundary

Scoped to a sandboxed project folder by default
File reservations make collisions structurally impossible
Cost band quoted up front, live balance while it runs
Plain-language activity feed and a visible stop button
SwarmX (Fugue) sits between your goal and the models doing the work. Every run starts inside a fresh, narrow project folder — never your home directory. A supervisory agent watches the swarm for boundary and constraint violations, while file reservations coordinate what each agent is allowed to touch. Six model providers sit behind one harness, so you're never locked into a single vendor's ceiling.

Budgets, caps, and estimate-vs-actual reporting roll every run up to the team and project that owns it.
Repos, prompts, and credentials stay on your infrastructure — the hosted layer handles identity and connectivity only.
Curated, org-branded packs mean every team adopts the same governed way of working instead of reinventing it.
