# Algol
Govern what gets reviewed and record what was decided. Algol reviews nothing itself.
Algol reads a project's versioned review standards, routes each change to the right engine per policy and undo-cost, reconciles every engine's findings into one record without silently upgrading a heuristic to verified, and preserves each human decision with the conditions that would reopen it.
v0.9.0, local scope. See `docs/DESIGN.md` for the full design and each `references/` file for a component's protocol.
## The pieces
- Policy model: versioned, path-scoped standards in `.algol/policy.toml`, compiled into review instructions, scanner rules, routing criteria, and a catalog. `tools/compile_policy.py`, `references/policy-model.md`.
- Evidence collectors: seclint (security) and brevlint (style and brevity), deterministic, emitting structured evidence rows. `tools/seclint.py`, `tools/brevlint.py`, `references/collectors.md`.
- policy-review: a model-pass harness that checks a change against the project's own standards, not a general bug hunt. `tools/policy_review.py`, `references/policy-review.md`.
- router: recommends skip, a collector, policy-review, `/code-review`, or `ultra` from policy and undo-cost, and escalates to the deep tier on undo-cost. Recommends, never auto-launches. `tools/router.py`, `references/router.md`.
- reconcile and the record: merges findings into one governed record, keeps verified distinct from heuristic, never upgrades silently, carries reopens-if on e
