Agentic State Machine

1. What ASM is

ASM stands for Agentic State Machine. This is a low-level library for pluggable agents orchestration using state diagrams and manifests:

• a state diagram — using mermaid diagram syntax
• a manifest — enable pluggable state

Why?

Because when the work is long, branchy, and needs to be inspected as it runs, a pile of nested if statements stops being readable.

ASM is designed for workflows requiring a mix of deterministic and non-deterministic routes through a complex maze of conditions running in a stateless environment.

If your problem is a straight line of five function calls, you do not need ASM. Write the five function calls.
