I built a tool that builds a tool for building my tools

Orchestrating too many projects with one Claude Max plan. I call it The Nerve.

My main problem right now is that I have too many projects to orchestrate, and it’s starting to feel genuinely unmanageable. At the same time, I want to run all of it off a single Claude Max $200 plan.

After studying Hermes Agent and a few other agent frameworks, I built an orchestrator inside my own system. The core architecture:

Infrastructure: built on ghostty and Morph, the software I made.
Control plane: it can drive several — or N — other terminals at the same time to orchestrate whatever I need.
Automation: background scripts wake it up on a schedule to keep the jobs moving.

I distilled a set of my own values and dropped them into the orchestrator so it stays aligned with me. Then I told it to go into the CLI and build a tool for itself — a tool to orchestrate everything.

The system has only been running for two days, and so far it’s holding up well, aside from a few small bugs that need fixing. I’m planning to hand it the role of “N project managers” and let it free me up, and see what comes out the other side.

Oh — the project, the orchestrator itself, I call it The Nerve. It’s a capstone piece: every project I’ve written about before, it has; every project I haven’t written about, it can run too.

我做了一个工具，它会做一个工具，用来造我的工具

用一个 Claude Max plan 同时 orchestrate 所有项目。我叫它 The Nerve。

我现在的主要问题是需要 orchestrate 太多的项目，感觉实在是有点太复杂了。但我又想用 Claude Max 200 美金的 plan 来处理所有的事情。

在学习了 Hermes Agent 以及其他一些 Agent 框架后，我在自己的系统里做了一个 orchestrator。它的核心架构如下：

基础设施：基于 ghostty 和我自己做的 Morph 软件。
控制端：它可以同时控制另外好几个（甚至 N 多个）terminal 来 orchestrate 各种事情。
自动化：后台配有脚本，可以定时唤醒它来管理这些任务。

我把自己的一些价值观进行了“蒸馏”，放在了这个 orchestrator 里面，这样它能更好地与我 align。然后，我又叫它在 CLI 里为它自己 build a tool to orchestrate everything。

这个系统我才试运行了两天，目前状态还挺好的，除了一些需要修复的小 bug 之外。我打算让它承担起“N 多个 project manager”的角色，把我释放出来，看看后续会有什么样的新进展。

对了，这个项目（这个 orchestrator），我管它叫 The Nerve。这个项目是一个集大成的作品。也就是说，所有我之前提到过的项目，它全都有；而所有我没提到过的项目，它也都能掌控。
