The project spent three months pursuing a stable, feature-complete C++ decompilation, with the write-up focused on AI orchestration, infrastructure, and harness setup. Those choices matter when scaling agents across long-running software tasks.

What: AI agents worked to decompile a first-person shooter into readable, compiling C++, focusing on reconstructing its original behavior.
How: Agents tracked one issue per translation unit with GitHub CLI, communicated in Discord, and used a reviewer agent to flag bugs.
Why it matters: The project illustrates how issue tracking, shared agent communication and review can coordinate large, long-running agent work.

Agents track translation work in GitHub and coordinate through Discord, which receives CI failure notices. Sketched from the article's own text.
