design_philosophy.txt

Sermon does the watching.
You keep the wheel.

Traditional observability tools assume a human is staring at a dashboard, trying to correlate colored lines on a graph. Sermon assumes nobody is watching, and watches anyway.

When something breaks, the alert arrives with the diagnosis attached and a fix waiting.

  • Investigates root causes Alerts arrive with the evidence: the metrics that moved, the log lines that matter, the likely cause in plain English.
  • Proposes gated fixes Every action ships as a proposal, down to a ready-to-review PR against your repo. Approve, hold, or dismiss; nothing runs without you.
  • Works with your agent An MCP server exposes the same corpus to Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client. Your agent sees exactly what Sermon saw.
