Governance
Autonomy without chaos.
Three operational modes. One consistent governance framework. Every decision traceable. Every output auditable. Every deployment governed by policy.
Operational Modes
Assisted Mode
Helix suggests and drafts. Humans review and approve every change before it moves forward. Ideal for teams beginning their autonomous delivery journey or working with sensitive systems.
- AI generates suggestions that require human approval at every step
- Full visibility into reasoning and decision rationale
- Best for regulated environments and initial adoption
Autonomous PR Mode
Helix generates and opens pull requests autonomously. Humans review before merge and deploy. The most common operating mode for production teams.
- AI generates complete, tested pull requests with context
- Human review gates before merge and deployment
- Governance policies auto-validate generated code
Fully Autonomous Mode
Helix executes end-to-end within policy boundaries. Humans intervene only when policies require it. For mature teams with well-defined governance policies.
- End-to-end delivery within defined policy boundaries
- Automatic escalation when policies require human judgment
- Complete audit trail for every autonomous decision
Governance Capabilities
Immutable Audit Logs
Every decision, every code change, every deployment is logged immutably. The complete history is available for compliance review, forensic analysis, and incident investigation.
Role-Based Access Control
Granular permissions for every team member. Define who can set intent, review generated output, approve deployments, and modify governance policies.
Policy Engine
Define governance policies as code. Policies are versioned, testable, and enforced automatically. From code quality standards to deployment gates to compliance requirements.
Decision Transparency
Every architecture decision, dependency choice, and implementation pattern includes documented rationale. No black boxes. Full explainability for every output.
Change Management
Structured change management workflows with configurable approval chains. Route different types of changes through different review processes based on risk level.
Compliance Automation
SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and FedRAMP compliance evidence is generated automatically from the governance audit trail. Audit preparation becomes trivial.
Policy Testing
Test your governance policies before they go live. Simulate how policies would evaluate against historical changes to ensure they enforce what you intend.
Deployment Gates
Define deployment policies per environment. Require different approval levels, test coverage thresholds, and security scan results for staging vs production.
