Tools around an agent workflow
Durham’s Agentic Auxiliary repository packages tools and libraries for orchestrated agent sessions, scoped tool access and supporting command-line workflows. A unified MCP server exposes the toolkit to assistants. The repository also includes Rust interfaces for coding-agent sessions and model APIs, plus utilities for review, retrieval and workspace management. This is infrastructure for constructing a workflow around an agent rather than a standalone language model.[3]
Keeping working context accessible
The thoughts component brings documentation from several Git repositories into a shared filesystem view. The broader toolkit separates protocol transport from choices about constrained roles and session orchestration. Durham also joined High Taste Testers, a discussion of coding agents, assistants and product tradeoffs.[3][4]

Begin with the repository’s architecture overview and choose one tool to inspect. Building the workspace requires Rust and its documented task tools; understanding MCP helps with the integration.
