boreal-work

by @mattrichmo

I built this cli-based project management tracker that is designed to be harness agnostic. Essentially creating a cascading pool of milestones, then sprints, then tasks, each with gates, and context requirements, into a pool for agents to claim. So multiple agents from different harnesses could all work on the same project at once without losing drift of the project's intended focus. Essentially the same project management we all use and love in our day to day. But the cli commands are made for agents while the tui commands are for humans. https://github.com/mattrichmo/boreal-work/ The thing I love about software, is you occasionally get this holy crap moment and I got that when I had to be away for 2 days and had an orchestrator agent run this for multiple days, without drifting too much. Maybe a little overenginneered but thats whatever. I spent about an hour planning, auditing the plan and adding more so the top-level milestone and inner sprints were pretty well defined or included the relevant context locations for each task. then watching the orchestrator launch a multi-day multi-agent workflow, was quite amazing.
