IMO the raw Claude CLI is great for one-off interactive sessions, but as soon as you want repeatable multi-step workflows you’re either copy-pasting prompts forever or hacking your own solution manually. That’s exactly the gap these tools fill.

My take on a solution for this is https://ossature.dev — .smd spec markdown files + ossature audit / build that gives you DAG orchestration, SHA-traced increments, and tiny focused contexts.

As a prerequisite you’d want to understand the purpose of Ralph Wiggum Loops

But in general this is meta to the CLI agent.

So if you were to use the CLI to perform a review of some code. This tool would allow you to loop the output of the code review 5 times onto itself.

Maybe not adds in, but wraps around. You could accomplish much of this with fairly simply bash scripts.
