Install and Go

pip install canonhq — then run canon setup in any repo. No server, no sign-up, no GitHub App required. Works locally from day one.

📝

Living Specs

Structured markdown with acceptance criteria that track their own implementation status. Specs update as code ships.

🎫

Ticket Sync

Spec sections auto-create Jira, Linear, or GitHub Issues. Status flows both ways. Code merges close tickets with evidence.

🎯

Code Verification

Canon checks code against acceptance criteria — not just whether a ticket was closed. The spec is the source of truth.

🤖

PR Analysis

The GitHub App analyzes every PR against relevant specs and posts realization status. Install when you're ready to automate.
