I think I can see some of where this could be utilized, but I think I'm still missing a step and I'm hopeful someone can fill me in.

There's a comparison against Argo Workflows, but with the description here and in other comments, Koreo seems to be aiming more for what I would use Argo CD for - managing the entire state of the cluster, the controllers, configuration, etc. Because of it tying into repos, you can then define the entire state of your cluster in code, and Argo CD has tools for doing some of the interpolation of variables into your YAML.

The project looks cool, and I don't think that the world suffers from having multiple ways of doing something, I just want to understand it better.

My understanding of Argo CD is limited so forgive me but I believe Koreo is a bit more similar to Argo Workflows. Where the scripts and logic is baked into the Argo Workflow image, in Koreo it leverages other K8s controllers to do the heavy lifting of interacting with the APIs. If I understand Argo CD correctly, it is an implementation of Argo Workflows. In this way, you are able to build your own CI/CD workflow via Koreo if you so wanted.
