       Show HN: PicoFlow - a tiny DSL-style Python library for LLM agent
       workflows
        
       Hi HN, I'm experimenting with a small Python library called
       PicoFlow for building LLM agent workflows using a lightweight DSL.
       I've been using tools like LangChain and CrewAI, and wanted to
       explore a simpler, more function-oriented way to compose agent
       logic, closer to normal Python control flow and async functions.
       PicoFlow focuses on: - composing async functions with operators -
       minimal core and few concepts to learn - explicit data flow through
       a shared context - easy embedding into existing services  A typical
       flow looks like:                 flow = plan >> retrieve >> answer
       await flow(ctx)       Patterns like looping and fork/merge are also
       expressed as operators rather than separate graph or config layers.
       This is still early and very much a learning project. I'd really
       appreciate any feedback on the DSL design, missing primitives, or
       whether this style feels useful for real agent workloads.  Repo:
