Score: 7.5/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

A state-machine engine for orchestrating coding agents via MCP tools, where workflows are defined as JSON state machines and every agent transition is validated by the server. It adds human-in-the-loop wait states, typed outputs, credential leasing, and full run history in SQLite — a novel combination for agent workflow governance. Interesting because it treats agent behavior as a constrained protocol rather than free-form prompting.

Target audience: AI engineers, backend devs building agent workflows, devops automating software factories
