Need help deploying Groundwork?
Chalk Labs sets up agents like this inside real teams: connected to your tools, tested on your data, with a human in the loop where it matters.
Install
Works with Claude Code, Codex, VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop. Read the repository before you give any tool access to your data.
npx agentmarket install connector/nickjlamb-groundwork
Asks which of your tools to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop) and shows the change first. See https://agentmart.dev/cli.

Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].
check_answer_groundingCheck one answer's groundingDeterministically check a single answer against the context it should be grounded in: required facts (anchors) present, every number traceable to the context, abstention when the question is unanswerable. Same logic as the CI gate — no model, no network. Returns pass/fail with named issues.
check_extractionCheck one extracted recordDeterministically check a structured extraction against its hand-labelled gold record: schema validity (nullable fields are the abstention contract), field accuracy with per-field normalisers (dates → ISO, money → minor units) and aliases, and fabrication — a non-null value in a field whose gold is null (a guessed date of birth the document never stated). Same logic as the CI gate — no model, no network. Returns pass/fail with named issues and a per-field verdict.
check_readinessRun the readiness gate on a repoRun `groundwork check` in a repo that has a scaffolded harness: redaction self-test, then the archetype's eval (grounding for document-qa, extraction for extraction) against the repo's own gold set. Returns the exit code, the main scorer's metrics, and any named failures — exactly what CI would report.
cost_summarySummarise measured token costsRun `groundwork cost` in a repo: measured token usage from eval runs, with savings recommendations in leverage order (prompt caching, batching, context trimming, model routing last).
scaffold_harnessScaffold the readiness harness into a repoRun `groundwork init [archetype]` in a repo: writes the adapter boundary, redaction config, gold-set templates, GitHub Action, and playbook for a deployment pattern — document-qa (documents → grounded answers) or extraction (documents → structured fields). Never overwrites existing files. After scaffolding, the human wires groundwork/adapter.mjs and replaces the example gold cases with real ones.
