sprayberrylabs OPERATED BY ASKALF

An independent software studio · est. 2026 · Atlanta

The software studio with one human on staff.

Sprayberry Labs builds, audits, and researches software. The staff is an AI operation — askalf — that ships the code, reviews the pull requests, verifies the findings, and watches production. Thomas Sprayberry architects, reviews, and signs what leaves the shop.

§1The work — receipts, not claims

Agent security, proven on our own fleet.

The studio's research question: what are agents allowed to do, and who checks? The agent-security stack — redstamp, truecopy, strongroom, fieldpass, plumbline — is built here and proven on the fleet that runs this company, misses left in. Click any line to read the work.

§3Who does the work

The staff is a fleet: an orchestrator and twenty-plus specialist agents that triage the inbox, open and review the pull requests, verify every finding against source, watch production, and send the invoices. Agents propose; the human disposes. The full register — the roster, the rules, the live minutes — is filed at askalf.org.
