Agent Flywheel: open-source agentic coding methodology with 11000x speedup case
doodlestein · x · 2026-09-15
Jeffrey Emanuel released his free, open-source Agent Flywheel stack and complete guide: plan exhaustively in markdown with frontier models, manage tasks with beads, and orchestrate agent swarms. The core idea is moving the hardest thinking into representations that fit model context windows, letting each loop compound. He cites a follower who cut request serving time from 33 seconds to 3 milliseconds (11,000x) after following the advice.
