What it does

Lightweight automation for recurring dev operations. Scripted workflows that occupy the middle ground between shell aliases and full CI/CD pipelines β€” for operations too complex to alias but too lightweight to pipeline.

Architecture / Key capabilities

  • Middle-ground automation β€” Targets the gap between one-liner shell aliases and heavyweight CI/CD configurations, where most recurring dev tasks actually live
  • Scripted workflow composition β€” Chain multiple CLI operations into repeatable, named workflows that can be triggered with a single command
  • Multi-project operator focus β€” Designed for developers managing many concurrent projects who repeat similar operational patterns across repos
  • Minimal configuration overhead β€” Workflows are defined with minimal boilerplate so adding a new automation is fast, not a project in itself
  • Shell-native integration β€” Runs in the operator’s existing shell environment without requiring a daemon, server, or separate runtime

Key numbers

MISSING β€” workflow count, operation coverage

Current phase

Phase 1 visualizer implemented and functionally validated. Amp thread dataset workstream beyond extraction viability. Coverage audit written (2026-03-29). Main remaining gaps: manual app-level QA + minimum lifecycle controls.

Status

Active β€” P1: run Phase 1 manual QA checklist, add minimum menu lifecycle controls. P2: controlled amp --execute validation, job estimate validation.
