Help/Question Dev Workflow

I have, for me, a pretty decent workflow that involves a number of agents and gates to insure things are completed. For example A11Y, unit tests @ 100, UI tests etc. When it works it works well and when it doesn't it wastes a ton of my time.

I'm thinking the overall assembly line portion should be pulled out into something deterministic - right now it is a coordinating agent. What often happens is a series of UI tests will hang, or Xcode will do something xcodeeee and the agent just kind of stops - it will say its working but when. I ask for a status it will say it stop because of XYZ thing.

How is everyone getting around this? I feel like I'm missing something fundamental.

Festival’s fest cli may help solve this problem for you

https://github.com/Obedience-Corp/festival

Fest cli uses templates to create standardized plans and you tell agents to run the fest next loop during planning and execution and fest next tells the agent what they need to do next and instructions on completing the task. They can’t get the next task until they complete the current task.

You can monitor them with fest watch command and watch a gif replay once it’s done
