site/wrangler.jsonc puts site/dist/ behind bench.12vectors.com as static
assets. No `main`: the site is files, and a Worker with no script is the
cheapest correct way to serve them.
html_handling force-trailing-slash, so /x redirects to /x/ — the
url the pages link and rel=canonical names. One
page, one address; no url ends in .html.
not_found_handling 404-page, so an unknown path gets dist/404.html
with a 404 status rather than the landing page
with a 200.
routes bench.12vectors.com as a custom domain. Cloudflare
takes the hostname at the zone level and makes the
DNS record; nothing else on 12vectors.com moves.
site/root/_headers carries the response policy. HTML revalidates on
every view, so a deploy is visible on the next reload without anyone
clearing a cache; /static/* is kept for a year and never re-checked,
which is safe because the stylesheet and icon urls carry a hash of their
contents. The general rule is written first and the specific one second,
so a host that merged the two instead of overriding would still land on
max-age=0 — the safe side. Alongside it the baseline a public page owes:
nosniff, a referrer policy, a year of HSTS without preload,
X-Frame-Options, and a default-src 'none' CSP that makes "no analytics,
no third-party anything" something the browser enforces rather than
something a test asserted once.
Deploys are run by hand, as releases already are — no Cloudflare token
in repository secrets, no first deploy pipeline. site/README.md names
the account, the Worker, the route and the four-command sequence, plus
the four things to check after a deploy that no test here can reach.
The tests cover everything before Cloudflare: that the config says what
the site needs, that the build writes the files it names, and that
wrangler.jsonc, pages.json and README.md cannot drift apart about which
domain this is. A live response is not among them.

Bench
A live kanban for coding-agent work: task files in stage directories are
the only source of truth; a stdlib-only board narrates everything that
happens to them — agents working in git worktrees, PRs opening on review,
CI and Copilot state on the cards, drives of the app from a task's own
branch, and an archive that is never a delete. Turn on team mode
(BOARD_SYNC=1) and the truth is origin/main: moves commit and push
themselves, every board pulls on a beat, and the person who claimed a
card first keeps it.
Install into a repo
mkdir .task-manager && curl -L \
https://github.com/12vectors/bench/releases/latest/download/bench.tar.gz \
| tar -xz -C .task-manager
./.task-manager/start.sh # wires the project (idempotent) and serves
No token, no clone: releases are curated artifacts that never contained bench's own cards or settings, so the board starts empty by construction.
The first run asks three questions it cannot answer for you — solo or
team, which agent adapter, what command runs your tests — and writes
manager/local/.env from the documented example, so every other setting
is discoverable in your own copy. Bare Enter takes the default
throughout; with no terminal (CI, a script) it asks nothing and
install.py --setup asks later.
Commit .task-manager/ into the host repo — core is vendored on purpose,
so clones work offline and updates show up in the host's own diffs.
The workflow brief ships as .task-manager/AGENTS.md — the cross-vendor
name coding agents read natively — with CLAUDE.md beside it as a one-line
compatibility pointer. Both live inside .task-manager/, so a host repo's
own root AGENTS.md is never touched.
Update
./.task-manager/update.sh # latest release
BENCH_REF=v2 ./.task-manager/update.sh # an exact release tag
The artifact is stamped with the repo it was built from, so updating
needs no configuration; BENCH_SOURCE=<owner/repo> in
manager/local/.env overrides the stamp. Updates replace
manager/core/ and the top-level scripts wholesale and touch nothing
else — tasks, plans, reference, and everything under manager/local/
(your driver, commands, prompt overrides, settings, state) survive every
update. Then python3 .task-manager/install.py and restart the board.
If the source repo has no published release yet, update.sh says so and
changes nothing.
Working on bench itself
git clone git@github.com:12vectors/bench.git && cd bench && ./start.sh
A clone carries bench's own cards and local/ content — that is dev mode,
not an install. (Installing from a clone anyway works: install.py
clears the shipped cards on its first boot in a host repo.) Releases are
built by ./release.sh from the manifest at
manager/core/release-manifest: tag = v<VERSION>, one stable asset
name (bench.tar.gz), contents at the tarball root — the two things the
install one-liner above depends on.
The three-layer law
Core knows about tasks, worktrees, PRs and events. It knows nothing about
any particular app (drivers do: local/driver/start), agent vendor
(adapters do: core/adapters/), or project (local/ does). Full docs in
AGENTS.md; the adapter contract in manager/core/adapters/README.md.
