IMO the raw Claude CLI is great for one-off interactive sessions, but as soon as you want repeatable multi-step workflows you’re either copy-pasting prompts forever or hacking your own solution manually. That’s exactly the gap these tools fill.
My take on a solution for this is https://ossature.dev — .smd spec markdown files + ossature audit / build that gives you DAG orchestration, SHA-traced increments, and tiny focused contexts.
I use bash scripts. Both Claude and Vibe support all kinds of arguments if you need a prompt to “become a task”. Bash is also deterministic and easy to read and debug.
Given that subagents have different thinking/effort behavior from the main agent and very limited control on that front (I’m not completely sure about this but see https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/14321 and I’ve also noticed very different behavior when the same prompt is used in the main agent or passed to a subagent), I’m not sure this skill will be the same.
Looks pretty nice. I think a lot of devs have been making similar tools, I've written my own thing that does a work review loop. I like the interface you've made. I'll probably give it a go, but I'm also reluctant to relinquish the control I have when it's my own code doing orchestration.

Was wondering if using front-matter instead of a "custom" encoding for parseble data was considered?
But in general this is meta to the CLI agent.
So if you were to use the CLI to perform a review of some code. This tool would allow you to loop the output of the code review 5 times onto itself.
Where are people finding time for these sort of projects.
My take? I like it. It's concise enough for me to try it out. And I love the webpage.

Might work out fine on codex.
