Loom

A fully autonomous AI agent orchestration platform that transforms PRDs into runnable MVPs via multi-role collaboration (PM/Engineer/QA), featuring self-maintenance and Git-backed task persistence.

Overview#

Developed by Jordan Hubbard (FreeBSD co-founder), Loom is a full-stack AI software engineering platform built in Go. The core philosophy: "From a single thread of an idea, we weave complete software."

Core Capabilities#

Multi-Agent Orchestration#

Built-in roles: Project Manager, Engineering Manager, Code Reviewer, QA Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Web Designer, Documentation Manager, Decision-maker
Parallel execution with dependency management
Autonomous decision-making within guardrails, with escalation support

Workflow Engine#

Native Go goroutine ticker scheduling (Temporal dependency removed)
Human-in-the-loop approval gates (CEO approval)
Multi-step complex workflow support

Beads Work Item System#

Git persistence: tasks recoverable after context compression
Dependency tracking (blocking/blocked relationships)
Four-tier priority queue: P0 (Critical) → P1 (High) → P2 (Normal) → P3 (Low)

Observability#

Prometheus metrics collection
Jaeger distributed tracing
Grafana visualization dashboards
SSE real-time event streaming

LLM Integration#

TokenHub unified entry point: routing, failover, budgeting, billing
Support for OpenAI-compatible API LLM providers

Enterprise Features#

RBAC access control
JWT/API Key authentication
Multi-tenant isolation

                      Prometheus / Jaeger / Grafana

Key Components:

Control Plane API: REST/gRPC core service
Dispatcher: task distribution and scheduling
NATS JetStream: messaging and event streaming
Agents: stateless workers executing engineering tasks
Beads: Git repository .beads directory for task state persistence

Quick Start#

Prerequisites: Docker & Docker Compose, LLM provider

Rapid Project Launch	Auto-generate complete project skeleton from PRD
Autonomous Bug Fix	Detect → Investigate → Fix → Verify → PR Creation
Multi-Role Collaboration	PM/Engineering/QA/Design roles auto-coordinate
Continuous Maintenance	Self-maintenance capability, project evolves via own Agents
