Smol Developer is a focused one-shot codegen tool: feed it a prompt, get back a small project. It is great for prototyping new ideas and unblocking writer's block on a fresh project. It is not designed for ongoing maintenance, refactors, or multi-turn iteration.
Conversations persist. The agent remembers what it just did and what you asked for two turns ago.
Run pytest, npm test, or whatever you configure, automatically after every edit. Self-correct on failure.
Bootstrap a project on Monday, evolve it on Friday. Same agent, same workspace, same conventions.
Open Studio and tell the builder assistant what you want. It builds the agent for you, connects your tools, and you refine it live on the canvas. It's vibe coding for agents, nothing to install.
Open StudioEngineering notes from the Digitorn team. No marketing, no launch announcements, no "10 prompts that will change your life". Just the things we write that we'd want to read.
