Reviewing Patrick Collison's Ask for an LLM Workflow Tool

Patrick Collison's description of an ideal LLM workflow tool, characterized as "GNU Autotools × Notion," directly aligns with the Verivus Assurance Platform (vap) and its open-source verivus-oss component, according to a developer working on the project. The agentassurance component implements a "living theatrical production studio" that addresses Collison's identified friction points—semantic state persistence, mixed human-agent coordination, evidence traceability, and explicit governance—through a zoomable Production hierarchy, DAG-TOML-based intent declarations, and provenance-backed ijbCRUD operations. Real-world runs, including public X threads and a ledger distribution review governed by a 22-unit DAG-TOML plan, demonstrate the system's ability to produce shareable, versioned artifacts with cryptographic evidence trails.
