# StrongDM Attractor

StrongDM Attractor is represented in the cited repository as a set of NLSpecs for building a software factory stack.

## Specified Layers

- Unified LLM client: provider-agnostic API, streaming, tool use, retries, adapters, middleware.
- Coding agent loop: tool registry, execution environment, filesystem/search/command tools, provider profiles, subagents.
- DOT pipeline engine: parse graph, validate graph, run node handlers, route edges, checkpoint/resume, support human gates and model stylesheets.

## Wiki Position

Treat Attractor as a reference specification for the [[attractor-pattern]]. Do not assume the repository itself is a shipped runner unless a concrete implementation source is added.
