Telos Cloud is the managed runtime for Goal Specifications. It provisions the working environment and agent compute, builds and deploys the implementation, then operates it against the Goal Spec.
What Telos Cloud manages
Telos Cloud manages the infrastructure around a Goal Spec: agent execution, working environments, deployment, service health, verification, evidence, and the controller that keeps the desired state true.
The Goal Spec remains the source of truth. Code and infrastructure are the current implementation of that specification.
Deploy a Goal Specification
Set the Goal Spec platform to cloud, authenticate, and apply it:
telos login
telos apply SPEC.md
Applying a new Goal Spec creates a managed session. Telos packages its resolved skills, provisions the environment, runs the implementation and evaluation agents, and reports the resulting service and session.
CLI and web UI
The Telos CLI and web UI use the same API and expose the same Cloud resources. You can create or update Goal Specs, start sessions, inspect status, follow activity, review evidence and cost, and remove sessions from either surface.
Use telos login to authenticate the CLI. Sign in on the web to manage the
same organization and sessions visually.
Continuous reconciliation
An applied Goal Spec becomes persistent desired state. Telos Cloud repeatedly checks the running service against it. When the service drifts or the Goal Spec changes, Telos repairs the implementation and evaluates the result again.
Update a managed service by editing its Goal Spec and applying it to the same session:
telos apply SPEC.md --session sess_9f2ka81
Verification and evidence
An implementation agent changes the service. A separate evaluation agent then checks the result against the Goal Spec and any required skill rubrics. A failed evaluation blocks acceptance and returns concrete findings to the next implementation cycle.
Each session keeps an auditable record of agent activity, verdicts, findings,
costs, and checkpoints. Use the web UI or telos describe and telos logs to
inspect it.
Session lifecycle
Managed sessions move through provisioning, deployment, verification, and operation. The CLI provides the same lifecycle controls as the web UI:
telos list
telos describe sess_9f2ka81
telos logs -f sess_9f2ka81
telos delete sess_9f2ka81
list shows current sessions, describe reports lifecycle and service details,
logs follows agent and verification activity, and delete stops and removes
the managed deployment.
