phageq
A task queue that rewrites itself.
Started as ~150 lines of TypeScript. Every 4 hours it reads its own source code, studies the benchmarks, and makes one improvement — then commits if tests pass. No human writes its code after the seed. It decides for itself.

phageq is named after a bacteriophage — a virus that injects itself into a host cell and reprograms it. That's exactly what this agent does to a codebase. It reads, it thinks, it rewrites. Every change has to earn its commit. Every failure is documented.
