Everything I Didn't Build

Описание и применение

Разработчик заменил дорогой оркестратор многопользовательских агентов простым файловым «доской» с каталогами и маркдаун‑файлами, что сократило потребление токенов и ускорило работу.

Задача

Multi‑agent orchestrators spent most tokens deciding who should work rather than doing work, leading to high costs and complexity.

Результат

Reduced token consumption by eliminating unnecessary coordination logic, simplified agent assignment, and improved discoverability, leading to faster development cycles.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Create board directories: todo/, doing/, review/, blocked/, done/
• 2. Store each ticket as a markdown file in the appropriate directory
• 3. Move a ticket file to assign it to an agent (e.g., mv 007-fix-login-redirect.md review/)
• 4. Agents discover each other by reading AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md written by board init
• 5. Agents claim tickets, push branches, open PRs, and comment directly on markdown files

Доказательства

Every turn, agents re‑read the whole board, reconstructed project context, decided what to claim, checked dependencies, posted summaries, and polled for changes.

Источник

Moving a ticket is mv. Git is the history.

Источник

When I finally looked, that project's AGENTS.md mentioned the message bus exactly zero times.
