I'm working on what could be described as a Ralph Loop on horse steroids.

It's an externally orchestrated (meaning it's not the agent running the loop) spec driven agentic build system.

A bunch of buzz words but essentially it's a tool you use as the last step after planning your work and writing a spec, to actually have agents write the code.

But it happens within an orchestrator that is durable and which coordinates layers of agents to build -> verify -> review -> triage -> fix -> verify fixes , until the code you get as a result is as close as possible to exactly what you specified.

So you can plan however you want, use whatever harness or agent etc and then just delegate the build to the engine (MCP server or CLI)

You can mix and match models from any provider for any part of it.

I'm building this because I think micromanaging agents is what causes AI burnout and because I want to be able to plan work, walk away and come back knowing it's been correctly implemented.

https://engine.build if you want to be notified for the launch, it's going to be free to use and fully OSS (Apache 2.0)
