What it does
Starts from an accurate observation: every use of a coding agent follows a workflow — question, reproduce, analyse, plan, implement, test — that lives only in your head, so you rebuild it from scratch each session. This turns those flows into repeatable, long-running definitions across multiple agents. The payoff scales with how much you invest in defining them, which makes it wrong for one-off tasks, and long autonomous runs need stop conditions and a budget. Apache-2.0.
