What problem does it solve?
Provides a backward-compatible shim for historical eda-chief invocations so older prompts and scripts continue to work without modifying legacy callers, while ensuring requests are governed by the repository-level agent policy and produce concise, artifact-driven outputs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Compatibility routing: Load repository routing policy and translate chief-style briefs into scoped execution briefs that downstream orchestrators understand.
- Governed dispatch: Route execution to the eda-loop and selectively invoke control skills such as theory veto and retrospection when required by risk or cost.
- Audit-friendly outputs: Keep replies short, attach required artifacts, and follow mandatory artifact contracts and autonomy guardrails for safe recursive loops.
- Use case: Run a legacy automation that still references eda-chief and have it automatically follow AGENTS.md policies, dispatching work to modern skills without manual rewrite.
Quick Start
Invoke the eda-chief compatibility shim when an older prompt or script calls eda-chief so it loads AGENTS.md, translates the brief, and dispatches execution to eda-loop.
