OpenProse is a declarative programming language for standing AI agent work, authored as Markdown contracts (*.prose.md) that declare desired world states rather than instruction sequences. It ships as a skill installed into any Prose-Complete agent harness (Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode), where the agent session itself acts as the runtime that reconciles reality with the declared contracts.
Use cases
- declare standing AI jobs as markdown contracts instead of scripting agent steps
- keep a live risk report current across changing data with an agent
- define typed AI functions with parameters, returns, and tool requirements
- run declarative agent workflows inside Claude Code or Codex CLI
- reconcile an ideal world state automatically when inputs change
- add imperative control flow to agent tasks only where order matters
- install an agent language skill into an existing coding agent
When to choose
- you want standing, continuously-maintained AI outcomes rather than one-shot prompt scripts
- you prefer declarative, reconciled agent behavior in the style of Terraform or Kubernetes
- you already use a Prose-Complete harness like Claude Code or Codex CLI and want a shared contract language
When to avoid
- you need a standalone binary or traditional compiler/runtime independent of an LLM agent host
- you want deterministic, non-model execution with guaranteed latency or cost bounds
- you need a mature, production-hardened language rather than an early experimental design
