A little off-topic but I’ve been waiting for a post by someone who’s built something like Claude Code or Codex that can explain how the state machine works for execution.
Clearly it’s not just a good system prompt and hoping for the best. Obviously they’ve both got fairly good algorithms for working toward whatever the user asked for incrementally, handling expectable errors, changing course if necessary, etc.
I mean ultimately it’s gotta be a really big flow chart that results in the LLM getting prompted various ways in all kinds of directions before ultimately converging on the final response, right? Or am I way off-base?
Has anyone seen such a post explaining this architecture / state machine / algorithm?
