# Latch

> The runtime our agents run on.

## What it is

A small set of primitives that show up in every agent project we ship: a queue that survives restarts, a tool layer that handles auth and rate limits, a trace store that lets us replay any decision, and a skill system that lets one codebase fan out to many tenants.

## Why it exists

We kept rewriting the same five things on every engagement. The fifth time was the one too many. Building it as a product — internally, before opening it up — is also the only way we trust it: every line gets put into client work before anyone calls it stable.

## Where it is

Internal. Pieces ship into client codebases as we harden them. A public release is on the timeline, not the calendar.
