No babysitting.\n\nBrief it once, and it runs the loop: plan, edit, execute, observe, verify, and stop when the job is done.\n\nIt is a minimal CLI/TUI for developers who want an agent that can actually work through coding tasks end-to-end.\n\nIt is early, MIT licensed, and actively evolving.\n\nGitHub: [https://github.com/openzot/openzot](https://github.com/openzot/openzot)\n\nWebsite: [https://zot.im](https://zot.im)\n\nWould love feedback from anyone experimenting with coding agents or autonomous dev workflows.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stop-prompting-start-shipping", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/pdparchitect/stop-prompting-start-shipping-51fc", "published_at": "2026-06-16 11:33:42+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-16 11:47:11.321054+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["zot.im", "GitHub", "MIT"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stop-prompting-start-shipping", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stop-prompting-start-shipping.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stop-prompting-start-shipping.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stop-prompting-start-shipping.jsonld"}}
