A software engineer has developed an open-source application called Frink that leverages Anthropic's Claude to automate significant portions of their daily workflow. The application uses a graph-based system with pre-defined prompts for planning, implementation, and testing, along with command blocks to execute scripts and conditional steps. Frink also includes approval steps and a mechanism to handle agent blockages or failures, allowing for retries or skips instead of complete restarts. The engineer reports that this automation has reduced their direct coding tasks, leading to a feeling of obsolescence. AI
