Show HN: Flatagents: State machine orchestration with stateless LLM agents
github.com/memgrafterThis is a declarative orchestration framework for stateless short-lived LLM agents.
Agents are orchestrated by hierarchical state machines (HSMs).
The HSMs and agents are defined in YAML, with hooks and webhooks for additional functionality.
* FlatAgent: A single LLM call: model + prompts + output schema.
* FlatMachine: A state machine that orchestrates multiple agents, actions, and state machines.

Comments
These are called flat because they are defined in flat files.
Apparently researchers call non-hierarchical state machines "flat machines" / "flat agents". Oh well!
