What problem does it solve?
OpenProse provides a self-contained, VM-driven language to orchestrate AI agents, sessions, and workflows, turning ad-hoc prompts into reliable, repeatable automation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured orchestration: Define agents, sessions, blocks, and control flow to coordinate multi-step AI workflows.
- Parallel and sequential execution: Seamlessly run tasks in parallel or in sequence with clear composition and context passing.
- Persistent memory and state: Support for persistent agents and various state backends (filesystem, SQLite, PostgreSQL) to enable resumption and long-running tasks.
- Modular program composition: Use imports, blocks, and pipelines to build scalable, reusable automation.
- Subagent spawning via Task tool: Spawn real subagents to perform defined tasks and return binding pointers for downstream steps.
Real-world example: Coordinate a team of specialized agents (researcher, reviewer, writer) to gather, analyze, and synthesize insights, then produce a final report with traceable bindings and memory.
Quick Start
Install Crocbot and run a sample OpenProse program with prose run examples/01-hello-world.prose.
