Looks interesting. Quick question - one of the biggest challenges with agentic systems in non-deterministic behaviour. Does this framework do anything to address this? Does it help test and validate agent behaviour?
It depends on what you're trying to build to be honest. For simple tasks Orloj can be a little overkill but it really starts shining when you are trying to setup large task flows that need many agents/tools/policies. Working with Terraform/Kubernettes for years gave a lot of the inspiration for the gitops side of things which we think fits naturally with how agent systems work.
Yes! We visited The Prague Orloj 2 years ago and it's amazing engineering. That's why we named it after it, for how it's coordinating and orchestrating so many complex mechanisms.
(for anyone wondering it's pronounced Or-Loy)
You should check out the Olomouc orloj [1]. Equally technically interesting as the Prague one, but with the added "benefit" of having been adjusted for political correctness under the Communist regime.

Feels like I would be taking on a lot of debt and maintainability I may not need

Orloj, btw, is Czech for "Astronomical Clock".

And it comes from mutated Latin word "Horologium".
