Drive Smithers, a durable control plane for long-running coding agents, from Claude Code. Use when the user wants multi-step, long-running, crash-safe, or human-in-the-loop agent work ('orchestrate agents', 'run a workflow', 'implement this and review it', 'keep iterating until tests pass', 'plan then build') or anything needing retries, approvals, replay, or evals across multiple AI steps. YOU (Claude) run Smithers on the user's behalf; it is not a GUI the human clicks. HARD RULE 0, if `SMITHERS_INSIDE_RUN` is set in your environment you are ALREADY a worker agent inside a Smithers node, so never invoke the Smithers CLI or MCP tools to launch or steer a run, just do the node's task directly with your ordinary tools; every rule below applies only when it is unset. HARD RULE 1, right-size the route FIRST, handle ANY clear single-goal ask directly, even a large repo-wide one, and reserve a full workflow for work that genuinely needs ordered stages, durability, approvals, loops, or reuse; never author a multi-no
