# Give every AI agent the same direction and rules | Annsa

> Write your direction once. Every agent works inside it.

CHANGELOG · RELEASE 41 · 19th October 2026

## Write your direction once. Every agent works inside it.

Direction is where you write your bets and your principles in Annsa. Every agent reads them before it starts.

You know where the product is going, but it lives in your head and a few docs your agents never open. So each agent guesses, and you give the same correction in every terminal.

Direction is now where you write your bets and your principles in Annsa. Every agent reads them before it starts.

Open Direction and write your first bet.

## Also in this release

### Annsa checks agent work against your principles

Agents read your principles first. Annsa checks their work against them too.

### Annsa suggests new principles from the answers you give

When your answers to agents repeat, Annsa proposes the principle and you keep it or pass.

### Every new workspace starts with a set of principles

A new workspace opens with starter principles you can keep, change or retire.
