alt Hacker NewsIMO 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.

I use bash scripts. Both Claude and Vibe support all kinds of arguments if you need a prompt to “become a task”. Bash is also deterministic and easy to read and debug.
Had a quick look. Stumbled upon the markdown format smd.
Was wondering if using front-matter instead of a "custom" encoding for parseble data was considered?
Isn’t a repeatable, multi-step workflow exactly what a script or Makefile does?
