Person/Steve Yegge/Agent/Herald - Patch Notes
Herald - Patch Notes
- Writes the patch notes and announces landed fixes to the players on Discord. When a wish granted through the Wish Factory ships, the reporter gets in-game mail and everyone else hears it from the Herald.
- One of the standing role agents in Wheelhouse, the bespoke agentic harness Person/Steve Yegge built for his MMO Wyvern. Role agents hold standing orders and run unattended, managing production operations rather than writing features; none of them are Fable agents, a few are Opus, and most are Sonnet.

Fortunately in a huge game like mine, there are plenty of bugs that don't affect balance but have a noticeable impact on quality of life. Those are the kinds of bugs and features that get implemented automatically now. I think of it as auto-granting wishes. When their fixes land, the reporter gets in-game mail, and all the players are notified by the Herald on Discord. I find it fun to skim through the patch notes each day to see what's new. Stuff I never asked for!
- Wheelhouse is his new bespoke harness for the 30-year-old MMO Wyvern: all-Emacs, six weeks old, Beads on a shared Dolt server, ~12,000 git commits/day. Three kinds of agent — 18 Anthropic/Model/Claude/Fable/5 crew who produce designs and implementation plans, an Opus 5 fleet who consume them, and ~14 standing role agents (Gargoyle, Drawbridge, Warden, Herald, Sage…) running production unattended. Every implementation bead runs Fable design → Opus implementation → Fable review.
