About edict
Edict is an MIT licensed Python orchestration system that runs multi agent LLM work through the Tang dynasty Three Departments and Six Ministries, splitting the job across eleven business roles plus one compatibility role so that planning, review, dispatch, and execution are handled by separate agents, and it is built for teams running OpenClaw that need every hand off between agents to be reviewable, auditable, and interruptible.
