Introduction
Shadway runs agent work that lasts longer than a single request. An agent can wait for a webhook, wait for a person to decide, survive a crash, and pick up where it left off. The whole time, you get a clear record of what it was allowed to do and what it actually did.
Three ideas cover the whole system.
Agents
The model and instructions behind the work.
Capabilities
What an agent can do.
Mandates
One job, and the rules it follows.
