 Speckl is a multi-agent software development system where the primary artifact is the *specification*, not the code. Every behavior traces back to its source of intent — automatically.
 
+## The Chain of Custody for Intent
+
+Agents generate code. Humans own specifications. The chain of custody for intent stays intact.
+
+That's the old framing. Here's the better one:
+
+**SpeckDL is the narrow waist that both humans and AI can work in.**
+
+- **Human-judgeable** — SpeckDL is declarative enough that a person can inspect a spec and say "yes, this captures my intent." The compiled Wasm is opaque; the spec is not. That's the audit trail. Intent is encoded in the spec *because* it is verifiable by a person.
+- **AI-writable** — SpeckDL's constrained grammar and declarative semantics make it tractable for LLMs to produce and reason about. Agents can draft, iterate, and refactor specs at machine speed — in the same language the human reviews.
+
+The two properties together are symmetric: humans and agents collaborate in the same medium. The human provides direction and judgment. The agent provides speed and iteration. Both operate on the same semantic layer.
+
+SpeckDL compiles directly to **Wasm** through a deterministic pipeline. The compiler isn't just a code generator — it's the enforcement point that guarantees what the human signed off on is what gets executed. If it compiles to valid Wasm, the binary is faithful to the spec by construction.

 ## Dark Provenance
 
 Every function, every branch, every side effect in your system is linked to the specification that motivated it. The provenance graph accumulates behind the scenes — invisible until you need it, but always complete. When an auditor asks "why does this code exist?", you don't search Jira. You query the graph.
