A framework for managing multi-agent development with Git-based tasks, worktrees, and approval gates
Generates task artifacts, work-package lanes, isolated Git worktrees, and retrospectives in the repo through a spec → plan → tasks → next → review → accept → merge workflow. Its emphasis on governance, audit trails, and visible acceptance/merge decisions over autonomous speed is a key differentiator for large teams. Local-first, with no SaaS dependency, and works with more than eight agents through human approval gates.
Teams managing multiple developers or agents with worktree boundaries and requiring regulatory or architectural governance.
The main branch is on the 4.x release-candidate track; adoption is lower than that of competitors, and it can be heavyweight for small projects.
