What can Deckhand do?

Run real offshore / oil & gas engineering calculations from a chat message — wall thickness, on-bottom stability, fatigue, fitness-for-service, vessel motions, mooring, field economics — and return a deliverable with assumptions traced and changes delivered as pull requests.

Is Deckhand deterministic?

Yes. Calculations run on the open-source digitalmodel engine, not free-form model output. The same input produces the same output every time — audit-ready, traceable to a DNV / API / ISO / ASME clause.

Explore the published capabilities, which run on open, MIT-licensed repositories. For confidential client work we run isolated private scopes.

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.

See the proof

How it works

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

Ask

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

Run

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

Show its work

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

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

the capability surface — 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
