Any command-line tool -- an LLM, a classical ML model, a curl call to an API, a jq transformation -- becomes a composable building block. Wire them together in a TOML file. Emergent handles process lifecycle, message routing, and graceful shutdown. No Python framework. No boilerplate servers. No lock-in.
