Deckhand

An AI engineering agent you drive from chat. Ask a real offshore / oil & gas question in plain language — Deckhand runs the actual calculation against the right standard and returns a deliverable that shows its work.

How it works

Chat → action → result — with enforcement below the model.

1

Ask

Send an engineering question in plain language — no syntax, no software jargon required.

2

Run

Deckhand picks the right method and standard and runs the real calculation on the digitalmodel engine.

3

Show its work

You get the number, the governing clause, and the assumption ledger — nothing hidden.

4

Deliver

Calculation notes and code changes arrive as pull requests you can review and merge.

Hard, auditable guardrails

The enforcement sits below the model, not in a prompt.

🔒Scoped access. Each channel is bound to specific repositories. Everything out of scope returns 404 — verified, not promised.
📝PR-only changes. No force-push, no history rewrite, no deletes. Every change is a reviewable pull request.
Standards-traceable. Every result maps to a DNV / API / ISO / ASME clause.
📊Audit trail. Every action is logged; fine-grained credentials per scope; client data never mixes across scopes.

Two ways to run it

Open Deck — free

A Telegram community for engineers trying Deckhand on open, MIT-licensed engineering work.

  • Reads, analyses, documentation drafts and reviews
  • Changes arrive as pull requests to a public sandbox
  • No force-push, history rewrite, or deletes
  • Scoped to open repos only — everything else returns 404

Private scopes — for client work

Confidential, proprietary, and licensed-solver work runs on isolated scopes with their own data, servers, and credentials.

  • Dedicated repositories and fine-grained credentials
  • Full reply visibility within your channel
  • Domain-specific knowledge packs
  • Nothing client-specific touches the open tier
