4/ ✨ Key ideas:
• GitHub-native, Actions-first
• Engine-neutral (swap LLMs without rewriting)
• Shareable workflow pieces
• Strong guardrails + auditable execution

3/❓Why?

Some tasks are perfect for natural language:
• Continuous documentation updates
• Issue triage
• Accessibility reviews
• Test improvements
• Continuous QA

All repetitive, collaborative, and needing a bit of judgment.

It's funny — we've talked about exactly that! Disposable interfaces that are hyper-specific to a task, and then thrown away.

Don't love the wasteful vibe, so maybe "Instant Software" instead? Something you create quickly, not something you craft. And you don't feel bad using it once.
