Interpretable Context Methodology (ICM) is a Python-based methodology that uses folder structure as agent architecture, replacing framework-level orchestration with filesystem organization. Numbered folders represent workflow stages, and markdown files carry prompts and context so a single AI agent can perform work that would otherwise require a multi-agent framework.

Use cases

• orchestrate multi-step AI workflows without a multi-agent framework
• replace LangChain or CrewAI with a simpler filesystem-based pipeline
• build sequential agent workflows with human review at each stage
• edit prompts and context as plain markdown files instead of code
• run a single AI agent through staged tasks like research then writing
• set up a reusable workspace configuration for repeated content pipelines

When to choose

• your workflow is sequential and benefits from human review between stages
• you want to modify pipeline steps by editing files rather than code
• you prefer plain-text, inspectable artifacts over framework abstractions
• you want one agent instead of maintaining a multi-agent setup

When to avoid

• you need dynamic, non-sequential orchestration with branching or parallel agents
• you require built-in memory management, tool use, or error recovery from mature frameworks
• your pipeline stages need programmatic coordination or real-time communication
