troupe

Your agents need a director.

troupe runs your development process with a team of agents, asking only when it needs you. Work branches and loops, decisions go to whoever owns them, and every decision records who made it.

How the show runs

A season, not a single show.

Your process runs again and again. Each run gets better.

Cast

Assign the roles

Agents and people each hold a named role, so one person isn't left answering for everything.

Perform

Run the work

Tasks fork, join, swarm and loop, so the work isn't stuck behind one agent at a time.

Cue

Call the right person

Each decision goes to whoever owns it, with the research done, so you're not answering every question yourself.

Notes

Improve the next run

Every run is recorded, so anyone can see who decided what. What went wrong changes the next run.

↻ and again, every showing

The cast

Your process, as a cast list.

Every role in your process, and who holds it: a person or an agent. Each decision goes to whoever owns it.

Principles

What we’re building.

The ideas troupe is built on.

  • Local-first, everything in your theatre

    A theatre is your project directory: its config, history and decisions live in git, on your machine. No hosted service required.

  • Work that branches

    Tasks fork, join, swarm and loop, instead of one agent working in a line.

  • Built for teams of agents and people

    People hold roles the same way agents do, so each question goes to the person who owns it.

  • Escalation that does its homework

    Before an agent asks, it checks the issues, reads the docs and researches the standard, then brings a decision brief.

  • Lineage for every decision

    Every decision records who made it, human or agent, what it was based on, who approved it, and where its results went.

  • Bring your own agent

    Agents are pluggable: use ours, or bring your own.
