CARBON Pro documentation
Choose your workspace: use CARBON in Claude Code or Cowork, or get CARBON Studio Lite for Codex (free, v0.1.12). For the native visual workspace and advanced testing, choose CARBON Studio Pro. Paid binaries are delivered separately to licensed customers.
Your agent’s plan. Your local workspace.
In Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents, default CARBON tests use your agent’s configured model access. Signed in with an eligible subscription? CARBON uses that allowance. Using API credentials? API billing applies.
Local storage ≠ local-only AI. Local runs keep files, evidence, and reports in your workspace. Your coding agent may send code, screenshots, and other context to its model provider.
Billing, privacy & MCP details
Plan limits and extra-usage charges still apply. CARBON Pro licensing and CARBON Cloud are separate. Optional direct-model checks and external integrations can have separate costs and data flows. Command-usage analytics vary by edition—review its privacy policy and settings. Local does not mean offline or air-gapped.
Check /status in Claude Code or codex login status in Codex to confirm your billing route. A configured API key can select API billing instead of subscription usage. A standalone MCP client supplies the model access and execution tools; the MCP server does not include a subscription.

Jay
AI test manager
Modeled on Jason Arbon’s approach to testing: start with the customer’s intent, follow the consequential risks, challenge the evidence, and make the next useful action clear. Jay is an AI persona inspired by Jason Arbon, not Jason himself. His visual identity is a distinctive J-shaped character, not a human portrait.

CARBON PRO · SEPARATE PRIVATE PACKAGE
Pro adds continuous discovery, dedicated specialist workflows, test engineering, persistent maps, team integrations and Pro-only peer benchmark comparisons where a matching category is available. Benchmark access requires approval to send the public target URL; comparisons are not confidence scores. It is a separate private package, not a hidden unlock inside Free. Access is by agreement; model/API costs are separate.
Go beyond a single assessment
- Continuous discovery and separately authorized test-fix-retest workflows.
- Dedicated security, privacy, performance and other specialist investigations.
- Test generation, repair and durable test management.
- Persistent screenshot maps, retained steering, build comparison and evidence trends.
- Confidence investigations and configured team integrations.
Install or upgrade
Request access below. Once approved, replace Free with the supplied Pro package; do not install both under the same CARBON namespace. Preserve project .carbon evidence. Existing Free reports remain historical evidence; they are not automatically converted or reverified.
Detailed Pro runtime and integration instructions ship privately in the Pro package. This public guide describes capabilities, not a downloadable Pro implementation.
Share with your team
A ready-to-present, 11-slide introduction for developers, testers and team leaders. Covers how CARBON works, the AI sub-agents, example commands, and optional expert testing support from Iceberg QA. Includes speaker notes and a presenter guide.

CARBON PRO · /proof
Test examples. Prove properties.
Ask Jay which rules matter most, then verify one with /proof. Rank critical code by impact, approve the exact property and budget, and get a CARBON HTML report with checked evidence or a concrete counterexample.
Start with supported pure Boolean Python logic, including access-control decisions. Use exhaustive verification or the Lean model backend with independent checking. Every result states its scope, assumptions and freshness.
