An open-source, single-binary CI runner for Concourse-style YAML pipelines, with cached steps and optional LLM repair agents.

Why it surfaced

steps makes an agent a first-class pipeline step, but only constructs it after a command fails; the agent receives the failure output, edits the code, and the task runs again for a final verdict. The project also content-addresses every step in SQLite, making this an unusually specific take on self-repairing CI—although it is still in early access.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
