/* CORE CONCEPTS */
processes
Sequences of prompt steps that guide the LLM through a task
actions
JSON triggers in LLM output that fire real world operations
variables
Named values injected into prompts at runtime via $VAR syntax
loops
Iterate steps N times or stop on a keyword from the model
/* HOW ACTIONS WORK */
01
LLM receives prompt
Your step's prompt is sent to the model as a user message in the conversation.
02
Model outputs action JSON
When ready to act, the model includes {"type":"action","variant":"..."} in its response.
03
Action fires
The framework detects the JSON and executes it. A web scrape, an email send, a database write.
04
Result returns to dialogue
Action output feeds back into the conversation. Next step begins. The LLM keeps full context.
/* WHY NOT THE ALTERNATIVES */
ready_made_apps
- prompts hidden
- no customization
- vendor lock in
code_from_scratch
- complex setup
- slow iteration
- high maintenance
