StateM Agent-Native Runtime
StateM is a lightweight, agent-native execution runtime for long-running CLI agents that structures execution around durable states, phase-local context, checked transitions, recoverable runbooks, and versioned procedural practices. Unlike developer-led workflow graphs that decompose an agent into narrowly scoped sub-tasks or unconstrained CLI agents operating solely on soft plans, StateM preserves the primary agent's unified reasoning loop while externalizing execution state into a human-readable, machine-operable YAML runbook accessible via standard command-line operations.

How does StateM externalize an agent's execution state to ensure it remains both inspectable and actionable?
Under StateM's architecture, an agent's execution context is shared globally across the entire run rather than divided into phase-local context.
List three core execution elements around which StateM structures the runtime for long-running CLI agents.
Compare StateM's runtime execution architecture with developer-led workflow graphs and unconstrained CLI agents. Explain how each of the two alternative paradigms handles execution and identify how StateM organizes the primary agent's reasoning process.
For which category of agents is the StateM execution runtime specifically designed?
What specific file format does StateM use to externalize an agent's execution state into a runbook?
