Arc replaces the prompt-wait-review loop with version-controlled workflow graphs that orchestrate AI agents, shell commands, and human decisions into repeatable, long-horizon coding processes.

- **Token costs are primed to explode.** ROI per token diverges wildly across tasks, models, and harnesses. Every unnecessary frontier token is one that can't be spent where it matters.
- **The continuous improvement loop broke.** Data is lost at every sub-process boundary. Organizations can't train LLMs the way they train people, and memory files make no guarantees.

## How Arc solves this
Arc gives you a deterministic harness around non-deterministic AI. You define **workflow graphs** in DOT files that specify exactly what happens, in what order, with which models, and where humans weigh in. Arc handles orchestration, parallelism, model routing, verification, and observability.

## What a workflow looks like
Workflows are defined in Graphviz DOT, a simple graph description language. Here's a plan-approve-implement workflow and its DOT source:
