SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenProse provides a programmable VM-first model to orchestrate durable, auditable AI workflows by spawning subagents, managing state, and recording evidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spawns sessions and coordinates parallel and sequential workflows across agents.
  • Maintains memory for persistent agents and tracks execution state for resumption and proofs.
  • Supports multiple backends (filesystem, in-context, SQLite, PostgreSQL) for durable workflows and cross-project collaboration.
  • Use cases include building automated pipelines, captain's-chair orchestrations, and production-grade agent workflows with traceable evidence.

Quick Start

Run a minimal OpenProse example such as prose run examples/01-hello-world.prose to see the VM orchestrate a simple session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate durable multi-agent workflows that can be resumed after interruption?

Multi-agent workflow orchestration uses a VM-first model to coordinate sessions, manage state, and record evidence so long-running operations can resume and provide auditable proofs.

What is the best way to manage state and memory for persistent AI agents across sessions?

State management for persistent AI agents is handled through multiple backends including filesystem, in-context, SQLite, and PostgreSQL, allowing durable workflows to maintain memory and track execution state for cross-project collaboration.

Does OpenProse support parallel execution for subagents in automated pipelines?

Parallel execution for subagents is supported natively, enabling the VM to spawn sessions and coordinate concurrent workflows across multiple agents while maintaining memory and recording evidence for production-grade operations.

How do I run a minimal multi-agent orchestration example to test the VM?

Running a minimal orchestration example involves executing a command like prose run examples/01-hello-world.prose, which demonstrates how the VM orchestrates a simple session and coordinates basic agent workflows.

What are the requirements for Skill discovery and frontmatter in OpenProse workflows?

Skill discovery in OpenProse workflows requires a SKILL.md file at the root directory and a defined frontmatter containing name and description, while optional resources in scripts/, references/, and assets/ load as directed by SKILL.md.

Can I use SQLite or PostgreSQL backends for auditable AI workflow state tracking?

SQLite and PostgreSQL backends are fully supported for auditable AI workflow state tracking, providing durable storage that enables cross-project collaboration and verifiable evidence recording for long-running agent operations.
