Bathos is a Rust engine-based AI workflow agent with a 7-wave pipeline, 17 roles, and scale-adaptive routing. It includes CLI references, installation/build steps, and platform-specific setup instructions in the README.
Collecting history — the radar snapshots this repo daily. The trend line appears after 3 days of data (2 so far).
What it is
BATHOS is an AI workflow agent consisting of a small Rust engine that enforces invariants and gates within a structured delivery pipeline. It presents a 17 specialist roles framework, a 7-wave pipeline, scale-adaptive routing, and hard quality gates, backed by a Rust executable named bathos.
How it works
BATHOS operates on two planes: orchestration (Markdown slash commands, roles, hooks under .claude/) and a Rust engine (a single static binary, bathos) that enforces state, gates, wave transitions, routing, and story freshness. The engine is invoked by hooks and commands such as bathos <subcommand>. The README includes examples of using bathos with commands like /wave1-discovery and with a JSON state input to route decisions.
Getting started
Getting started involves cloning the repository, building the engine, and wiring the binary for hook discovery:
- macOS/Linux build path shows building the core engine and setting BATHOS_BIN, with commands like:
git clone <your-fork-url> bathos && cd bathos
# Build the single static engine binary (~5.9 MB)
cdd core
cargo build --release
cd ..
# Make the engine discoverable by hooks/commands:
export BATHOS_BIN="$(pwd)/core/target/release/bathos"
- Windows (PowerShell) path shows running install.ps1 and setting BATHOS_BIN to bathos.exe, with commands:
.\install.ps1
- WSL path indicates using the Linux path and building the Linux binary, with environment setup similar to macOS/Linux.

Behind the repo
No startup/company details provided in the README beyond project scope and tooling description.
Caveats
License: MIT badge shown in README, but the repo metadata states license: none listed. Prerequisites include Claude Code v2.1.32+ with Agent Teams, Rust toolchain (cargo 1.92+), jq (macOS/Linux), and appropriate shell or PowerShell setup depending on platform. Windows wiring changes involve copying settings.json variants and hook scripts.
