OpenProse demo: declarative Markdown contracts to orchestrate multi-agent workflows
AI Engineer · youtube · 2026-10-19
The OpenProse team (Dan Barrett, Raymond Weitekamp, Jose Montes de Oca) appears on AI Engineer to argue agents should be told what, not how.
- Declarative contracts: multi-agent workflows written as plain-markdown contracts that any harness (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) can compile and run.
- Event-driven jobs: combine a contract with triggers like webhooks and pull requests.
- Live demos: a "grumpy senior" PR reviewer and an end-to-end bank model-documentation workflow.
- Advanced patterns: benchmarking every run against its contract, pinning a winning run into a reusable workflow, and composing contracts.
- vs DSPy: a dedicated section comparing the two approaches.
A 50-minute workshop with full chapter timestamps.
