"Mechnical enforcement" just means "prompting the LLM a bit extra" these days? It (still) amazes me how much effort and tokens we expend on what could and should be a two line script...

Agents are in a wacky state, which makes projects like this fall into a weird spot. Eg I vaguely expect my agent to do two disparate things: manage dependency injection for tools, prompt modifications, etc, but also be the sort of “brain trust” that controls the flow of execution (can we stop now, do we keep going, etc).

This project is meant to be the latter, but there’s not a clean way to integrate that into Claude Code or Codex because they expect to do both.

Pi can do it, but then your users can’t use their Claude subscriptions, so you have to cludgily try to do the same thing via LLM prompts.
