Hello! I'm the author. If anyone has questions or feedback I'd really appreciate it!

What are some exciting ways you think people with Chidori?

I hope that people will be able to build agents in a way that makes deliberate methodical progress towards them successfully executing given tasks. Part of this could be tracing alone, which is something that I explored using opentelemetry on my own agents. But I found that I wanted to be able to understand the specific structure of the agent as I iterated on it as well. So Chidori attempts to allow you to do that, while having some properties that I feel assist with managing complexity!

Agents that work 80-90% of the time rather than 30-40% of the time would be awesome. And I think part of that is being able to iterate on specific pieces of the agent's behavior in a deliberate way.

You stole the name from Naruto...didn't you? Which is fine. It's been what, over 15 years since the episode/manga with that technique debuted? I guess I shouldn't be surprised someone young who watched it grew up and made a thing.

It's definitely a reference to it! It also broadly does mean thousand birds.

I don't know much about Naruto so initially I thought it could be a Persona 3 reference.

Interestingly, in the Shona language it means 'puppet' which I found very appropriate as it is a functional framework which you have behave in whatever way you want.

This was my primary assumption re nomenclature

Ah, nostalgia.

Someone better make another called Rasengan.

Lore dump: This is not a coincidence, as the characters themselves refer to the chidori being named due to sounding like thousands of birds. The alternate name used by kakashi, raikiri, is related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachibana_D%C5%8Dsetsu

Hello, I’m interested in adopting your framework for what I’m building.

Your docs are WIP, and I have a bunch of queries. How do I contact you?

The discord server linked from the github would work! I'd love to find out what the specific questions are. Alternatively twitter DM would also work @kveykva.
