Summary
Fractal is a recursive agent loop system developed by Plasma AI to manage complex, multi-step engineering tasks that exceed single context windows. It utilizes a hierarchical structure of agents with individual budgets and isolated worktrees to perform large-scale refactors, migrations, and research.
Highlights
- Implements recursive agent loops to handle 'giant tasks' like large-scale refactors and migrations
- Uses a hierarchical agent structure where each level operates with its own budget and isolated memory
- Demonstrated self-improvement capabilities by autonomously identifying and fixing bugs within its own repository
- Employs a multi-phase optimization process to refine tool defaults through intersection
