SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenProse provides a formal VM to coordinate multiple AI agents, orchestrating sessions, imports, parallel branches, and memory backends to automate complex workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spawns subagents and manages cross-agent coordination for end-to-end automation.
  • Supports imports, blocks, parallel execution, persistent memory, and multiple state backends (filesystem, SQLite, PostgreSQL, in-context).
  • Use cases include captain-pattern orchestrations, multi-session QA pipelines, and long-running automation across projects.

Quick Start

Write a minimal .prose program that launches two agents in parallel and demonstrates combining their results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multiple AI agents in a parallel workflow?

You can coordinate multiple AI agents in a parallel workflow by using a VM orchestrator that spawns subagents and manages their interactions through configurable state backends like SQLite, PostgreSQL, or in-context memory.

What is the captain-pattern for multi-agent orchestration?

The captain-pattern for multi-agent orchestration is an automation workflow where a formal VM coordinates sessions, spawns subagents for parallel execution, and manages persistent memory across long-running projects.

How do I manage persistent state across multiple AI agent runs?

You manage persistent state across multiple AI agent runs by configuring a formal VM execution model with filesystem, SQLite, or PostgreSQL backends to track context bindings and session memory.

Can I execute parallel research branches with deterministic state tracking?

Yes, you can execute parallel research branches with deterministic state tracking by applying a VM orchestrator that enforces explicit imports, blocks, and context bindings for robust multi-step automation.

Does multi-agent workflow orchestration work with PostgreSQL backends?

Multi-agent workflow orchestration works with PostgreSQL backends, alongside filesystem, SQLite, and in-context memory options, to support persistent state tracking and cross-agent coordination across sessions.

Why use a formal VM for AI agent orchestration instead of basic chaining?

A formal VM provides deterministic execution, explicit session management, and robust state tracking for complex multi-step orchestrations, overcoming the context and memory limitations of basic agent chaining.
