What makes Maestro different is where control lives. It runs **one LLM in a loop**, but the *framework*, not the model, is in charge of that loop. The loop is **deterministic-first**: Maestro settles everything it can on its own before calling the model, and checks every model decision against the rules you've set. That's what lets you start with plain-language instructions and add framework-enforced guarantees only where a mistake would be expensive, without rewriting the skill. In one line: **Maestro turns a set of skills into a coherent, controllable conversation, with the framework holding the guarantees and the LLM handling the judgment.** ## A deeper look The guides below take that apart, one piece at a time. What happens on every turn, step by step, and why the framework runs first. What the framework enforces itself versus what it leaves to the LLM's judgment. How Maestro stays coherent across a long conversation without overwhelming the model. How Maestro picks a skill, stacks sub-skills, and handles a user who changes topic.
