Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 3, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

LEO (Lead Engineering Orchestrator) is a Markdown-based rule system that injects a structured engineering process into AI coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf. It provides a task router, 44 numbered laws, 22 specialist roles, and reflex grep checks to combat context drift and edge-case skipping in long agentic sessions. The project is a well-written prompt-engineering framework rather than executable code, with notable documentation but limited verifiability.

Target audience: software engineers and engineering leads using AI coding agents
