Build the line, don't rent it
We ran a public agent framework against agents we wrote ourselves. Here's what we kept, and why we're building our own.
There are good public frameworks, a whole crew of PM, architect, developer and QA, ready to run. We tried one. It's close to how we already think about a Unit. But renting someone's line means inheriting their opinions about how a story is written and how work gets dispatched.
So we're building our own agentic line and borrowing what's good where it fits. The rule is simple: nothing gets adopted before we've run it. Standardize the story, the ticket and the commit, and it stops mattering which framework wrote it. Four projects, four backlogs, one nomenclature.
This is how we'd run your backlog.
Bring a real one to a Sprint Zero and watch the loop close on your code.
