A terminal AI coding assistant based on multi-agent collaboration

About

• An open-source terminal AI coding assistant that edits a codebase directly from natural-language instructions
• Scans the code repository, makes a plan, and automatically applies and verifies changes across multiple files
  • Instead of a single giant model handling every role, it uses an architecture that orchestrates specialized agents per role
  • Supports workflows that go beyond code editing to include development routines such as running tests and executing terminal commands
• The basic flow uses a multi-agent pipeline of understanding the file structure → planning changes → applying edits → verification, reflecting the actual working context more richly
  • When the user states a goal such as “add authentication to the API”, it processes it step by step in the order File Explorer → Planner → Editor → Reviewer
    • The File Explorer Agent handles understanding the architecture and finding relevant files
    • The Planner Agent plans which files to edit and in what order
    • The Editor Agent applies precise edits
    • The Reviewer Agent verifies the changes
  • Agents are spawned in parallel per layer to improve time efficiency, and published agents from the store can also be combined
• Besides the CLI, the TypeScript SDK lets you embed and run agents in your own apps
  • Integrates with OpenRouter to support choosing and switching among many models such as Claude, GPT, Qwen, and DeepSeek
• According to its own published materials, it claims to outperform Claude Code 61% to 53% on 175+ coding tasks
