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.
Didn't realize the Czechs had so many...The story about the clockmaker on the Prague one was interesting. The king trying to blind him so he could never make another for anyone else...
Runtime policies as an actual gate rather than prompt instructions is the right model. Most frameworks just bolt governance on as a wrapper and hope the model obeys. What I'd want on top of this: observability into why agents are hitting policy blocks, not just that they were blocked.
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?
Nice design and license, probably some good idea in there somewhere! My main beef with all these projects is the monolith ambition. Every single one of these uncountable projects is trying to solve everything and feels like buying into Kubernetes. Even if open source, thats just too much and too heavy. Postgres, nats, workflow engine what the hell are you building here? Half of this will be obsolete when the next agent architectures come out and then? Solve a few core problems properly and in a modular way dont model agent systems after k8s.

And it comes from mutated Latin word "Horologium".
