This playlist is a three-hour deep dive into the theoretical foundation of work orchestration for agentic engineering.
It covers several major orchestration patterns and why they matter in practice:
- in-harness orchestration systems such as oh-my-openagent and obra superpowers
- external execution loops such as Ralph Wiggum
- persistent workspace systems such as GasTown
- the OpenAI Symphony design and reference implementation
The goal is to explain the category shift from smarter chats toward managed work systems around the agent.
If you want the conceptual frame behind OpenSymphony, this is the right place to start:
