## Definition

**DRIs (directly responsible individuals)** are the people who hold direct ownership of and accountability for a piece of work.

In the channel's material on **coding agents in practice**, **DRIs (directly responsible individuals)** name the people who hold direct ownership over a piece of work. As autonomous agents like Codex, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork take on more of the building and reviewing, the human's job shifts from typing code to **planning, orchestrating, and verifying** — and DRIs are the ones accountable for that final judgment.
