How I Pack Eleven Tool Domains into One PySide6 Window Without Spaghetti Wiring
Short summary
Sentience v3 scales to 60 tools across 11 domains using a flat registry pattern: each domain exports a tool list, every executor returns {success, error, result}, and a 12-line dispatcher routes without branching on type. Adding tools is a one-file change; disabling is one-line. Refactoring is safe because the dispatcher never couples to individual tool internals. Trade-off: name collisions aren't caught at startup, but the pattern scales cleanly.
- •Flat registry pattern eliminates complex tool dispatcher logic and switch-statement maintenance
- •One-file changes to add tools; one-line changes to disable them; zero other files require editing
- •Single executor signature with 12-line dispatcher decouples from individual tool types
