Agentic Scaffold CLI

Experimental CLI for scaffolding production-ready LLM agent loops.

Agentic Scaffold is an open-source development starter created to test how minimal an agent loop can be while maintaining production grade safety, schema enforcement, and tool execution reliability.

The Problem

Heavy Framework Bloat in Modern Agent Ecosystems

Existing agent libraries have hundreds of complex abstractions that make debugging and latency optimization painful.

  • Framework abstractions hide the raw LLM tool call payload, causing debugging friction.
  • Dependency trees are overly bloated for simple single-agent automations.

The Solution

Zero-Magic Type-Safe Agent Harness

A clean 200-line loop pattern using strict Zod schemas and deterministic state transitions.

  • Pure TypeScript with zero external framework dependencies beyond LLM SDK and Zod.
  • Built-in exponential backoff and schema validation retries.
  • Pluggable memory adapters (in-memory, Redis, SQLite).
Architecture & Process

Agent Loop Lifecycle

Deterministic tool execution cycle.

01

User Input

Receives task prompt and environment schema

02

Plan & Tool Call

LLM picks tool and validates arguments via Zod

03

Sandbox Exec

Runs function with strict timeout limits

04

Terminal Output

Yields streamed final answer to stdout

Key Capabilities

Engineered Features

Strict Zod Tool Schema

Safety

Guarantees that arguments match TypeScript types before execution begins.

Pluggable Memory Store

Storage

Easily swap from ephemeral RAM state to persistent SQLite or Redis backend.
