For a new Rust project, I was searching for a simple agentic loop implementation. My goal was to analyze thousands of software artifacts at scale. I could not find a good architecture for this so I decided to build agentwerk.

The best agentic products like Claude Code, Codex or OpenClaw are either closed-source or build their own core agentic execution logic from scratch. Additionally those are mainly focused on human interaction. I was looking for creating an agent pipeline with no human in the loop.

General frameworks like GoogleADK, AutoGen and LangChain are very bloated and complex, but still lacking basic features: simple tools for reading files, browsing the web or accessing bash in a controlled manner. Additionally they abstract LLM APIs so much away that you don’t understand how to optimize your application and you have no proper event handling.

The idea of agentwerk is to spin up dozens or hundreds of specialized agents which collaborate via a ticket system and attach their results to the tickets. The ticket system also serves as a central entity for budget control or bottleneck detection.

How do you handle agents at scale and ensure high quality results?
