Freeform

Single agent, no plan. The simplest possible workflow.

When to use

For quick experiments, single-file changes, or when you don’t need decomposition. One agent, one step, minimal ceremony.

gump run freeform --spec spec.md

The workflow

name: freeform
max_budget: 5.00

steps:
  - name: execute
    type: code
    prompt: "{spec}"
    agent: claude-opus
    guard: { max_turns: 80 }
    gate: [compile]
    retry:
      - exit: 3

How it works

No decomposition, no review, no multi-step pipeline. The spec goes straight to the agent. The compile gate catches obvious breakage. Three attempts with the same agent.

Customize

Add tests to the gate

gate: [compile, test]

Use a cheaper agent

Replace claude-opus with claude-sonnet or qwen.

Add a lint gate

gate: [compile, test, lint]
