Ask HN: Examples of continuous work agent templates

1 viraptor 1 5/11/2025, 12:50:45 PM

I'm after examples / papers on prompts and workflows that work well with continuous behaviour. So far there's lots of "build a plan and finish this task" style agents. I'm after some examples of "look at your existing state and knowledge, look at new events, the last action took Xmin and updated Y, figure out next steps and update the state".

The naive version of that seems to work ok, but I'm sure someone experimented with the state representation and dealing with multiple event streams more than I have.

You should check out secai [0], its a state machine in Golang for long lived agents with structured memory. Its a prerelease and the abstraction of more complex Stories which can intermix will land soon. You can fork the deepreaserch demo and experiment.
