Modularity

[brillout]

How can we make things modular? While, ideally, most of the functionalities would be implemented by extensions.

Ideas:

• New package that represens the "agents as black box" abstraction?
  • Combine models
  • How to enable things like smart-dumb agents orchastration within that abstraction? (While TF is agnostic to such techniques: TF uses the black-box abstraction instead.) Maybe via Pi?

1. Black-box package — yes. Today the box is hard-coded (Claude Code CLI + claude.ai web). Pulling it into one contract — start a run, receive output / question / done, answer, stop — is a refactor with no behavior change, and it's all the modularity the agent side needs.

2. Combining models and DSD are already solved, inside the box. DSD is just a SKILL.md: Fable plans, cheap DeepSeek workers code, a fresh reviewer checks. For TF that's a skill + a capability ("opencode running") + a few repo files. Zero TF code — orchestration tricks are skills, not framework features.

3. Pi is an implementation, not a layer. An open-source multi-vendor Claude Code that could sit behind the box, but it doesn't make TF modular. Note: Claude Pro/Max through Pi is billed per token as extra usage, so no quota saving. Neither use nor build now; later it's a cheap option for GPT / Gemini / local models.

4. Stack packages (vike, next, laravel, react-native) — same model. A stack is a skill (a pointer to its llms.txt), auto-installed by a catalogue, a super package only if it needs UI. Core stays stack-agnostic.

5. "Most functionality as extensions", concretely. Core = black box + git conventions + worktree/handoff + catalogue + dashboard shell. Everything else is a skill (presets, triage, planning), a capability (routines, notifications, CI watch), a dashboard extension (tickets, spending, overview, rails), or a super package (tickets, browser, claude-web). ~80% of the feature list leaves core.

How about worktree management is a skill? We can make it run some @superskill/package (I have the npm org) though for increased efficiency.

Yes, AFAICT black box agent driver is definitely something that can live as its own package, e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/agent-driver.

That's actually something we can start with, we (and the ecosystem at large) need this. E.g. t3code would also need this. Maybe we can compare their implementation with ours.

[suleimansh]

Yes to both. Branch management first, then agent-driver.

Idea: skills via npm

How about each skill is published as an npm package, so that the skill is versioned and can be properly managed accordingly (e.g. can be pinned, verified by hash, etc.).
