smithers

smithers is an Agent runtime & coordination infrastructure skill for AI agents, published by smithersai in the smithers repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates smithers F (53/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Drive Smithers, a durable control plane for long-running coding agents, from Codex. Use when the user wants multi-step, long-running, crash-safe, or human-in-the-loop agent work ("orchestrate agents", "run a workflow", "implement this and review it", "keep iterating until tests pass", "plan then build") or anything needing retries, approvals, replay, or evals across multiple AI steps. YOU (Codex) run Smithers on the user's behalf; it is not a GUI the human clicks. HARD RULE: every workflow you create or run MUST get a live custom UI at .smithers/ui/<key>.tsx (composed from the smithers-orchestrator/gateway-ui + smithers-orchestrator/ui component libraries over the gateway-react hooks, never hand-rolled markup) and you MUST launch it (smithers ui) so the human can watch.
