CodeMachine CLI Tutorial: Orchestrating Long-Running Coding Agent Workflows

Learn how to use moazbuilds/CodeMachine-CLI to orchestrate repeatable coding-agent workflows with multi-agent coordination, context control, and long-running execution.

Why This Track Matters

Many coding-agent workflows are ad hoc and hard to repeat. CodeMachine turns these workflows into persistent orchestrations with better structure, scalability, and team reuse.

This track focuses on:

• orchestrating coding-agent CLIs into repeatable workflows
• multi-agent and parallel execution patterns
• persistence and long-running process operations
• context engineering and governance for reliable outcomes
