Building Praxis

I started this project thinking about a better way to development software with the use of AI coding agents. Starting with using them to replace me writing code, then using multiple agents, then using agents to plan and orchestrate further agents.

Praxis is where that led me: an Outcome Realization System built as a cybernetic feedback loop. It is intended to turn a human-approved objective into an implemented intervention, release it under explicit authority, observe what happened in the real world, and return the result to a human for acceptance or correction.

It does not complete that loop yet. This post is about the architecture, what I have actually built, how I have been dogfooding it, what broke, and why the failures have done more to shape the system than the happy paths.
