1/ Smithers is the best Orchestrator and you should try it

What is Smithers

Smithers is an Orchestration framework where you declaratively create a DAG of Durable Tasks as xml and reactively regenerate parts of that DAG as Tasks complete

How do you use it

You use it as a CLI or a agent skill. Your agent then writes, updates, and monitors those scripts

What special features does it have

- MDX for prompts
- Library of prebuilt 0-config workflows
- All workflows represented as code that is easy to modify, customize, or compose into larger workflows
- Built in observability with SQLLite and pormetheus
- Supports Claude code, Codex, Gemini, and Kimi subscriptions
- Supports all harnesses including Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and Opencode
- Supports Agent SDK

Why is it so good?

The main reasons Smithers is so good is

1. Agents are great at writing complex workflows because Agent's are great at React
2. It is thoughtfully built with @EffectTS_ Durable execution primitives enabling more reliability for very long running agentic tasks
3. Powerful CLI for watching and interacting with wrokflows
4. MDX is a really great existing standard for expressing prompts
5. The declarative nature of Smithers and it's great observability makes it very easy to read and quickly reason about

What is best way to get started?

bunx smithers init in an existing project and try it out

Cloud providers got framework mogged

[VoidZero @voidzerodev]

VoidZero is joining Cloudflare.

Our mission stays the same: to make JavaScript developers more productive than ever before. Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+ remain MIT-licensed. Evan and the VoidZero team will continue leading them.

Cloudflare shares our commitment to open source. Together, we can keep investing in the tooling developers rely on every day, while bringing the Vite ecosystem and Cloudflare’s platform even closer together.

@Vtrivedy10 Awesome let me know what you think! Almost everybody who succefully tries smithers more than once becomes a power user

[fucory @FUCORY]

@owenyuwono Not with Smithers! Smithers lets you automate that tedious work

1/ Matt Van Horn listed every agentic engineering hack he knows. Most are manual processes. I turned 9 into Smithers workflows.

@ori_pomerantz @finlayekins Docs are for the ai using Smithers not human

[fucory @FUCORY]

@pk_iv Durability programmability and workability

[fucory @FUCORY]

@Rasmic Fully open source harness agnostic and model agnostic workflows/orchestrators will ultimately win too

[fucory @FUCORY]

10/ All runnable:

git clone https://t.co/za16bXqiZL smithers up workflows/<name>.tsx

9/ two more

morning-research-digest: a daily cron that researches recent changes. skill-from-example: writes a new skill by copying one that works.

It feels like the entire universe is confirming my thesis

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

A great cloud agent experience involves a lot more than moving a local agent to a server.

We've learned that it requires a durable execution platform, a powerful harness, and the tools and infra to give agents realistic development environments.

@elvissun I've been doing this for 4 months now with my open source library and it truly is a game changer. I've had workflows run for almost 2 weeks producing production quality code
