Very nice project!

Is the editor/composer separate from the runtime?

If I build a workflow in the visual editor, can I use that same flow inside my own app just by using the runtime/engine? Or is it mainly tied to the Statewright platform and Claude Code plugin?

I’m wondering if the runtime can be used as a standalone piece to power apps I build.

Yes, the engine handles the full workflow schema including guards. There are some aspects of runtime enforcement (env vars/command filtering, etc. exposed via the UI) that currently only live in the plugin layer but the engine parses and exposes everything. All you would have to do is wire up enforcement on your end in your app the same way the plugin does.
