Full Open-Source Guide to Agent Swarms: The Agentic Coding Flywheel Methodology

doodlestein · x · 2026-09-18

doodlestein has open-sourced his full agentic coding toolset plus a detailed guide, Agent Flywheel, based on Jeffrey Emanuel's methodology.

Core idea: move the hardest thinking into representations that fit model context windows — exhaustive markdown planning docs and beads-based task management instead of jumping straight into code.
Workflow: use a frontier planning model (e.g. GPT-5.6 Sol Pro) to produce an initial markdown design doc, break it into beads tasks, then orchestrate coordinated agent swarms to execute.
Flywheel effect: each completed loop upgrades the artifacts feeding the next (planning leverage, swarm determinism, reusable memory), making the same project faster and safer with compounding returns.
All tools and the guide are free and open-source, scaling from small CLI tools to complex web apps.
